1 Pack - GlideLok Child Safety Door Top Lock Made of Durable Metal (Not Plastic Like Other Models) | for Babyproofing & Childproofing Interior/Exterior Doors | Adults Can Open Door from Both Sides

Much better than the baby locks that stick to the sides, great to be able to use from either side of the door!

We had a toddler in our house who figured out doors and locks very early and was also a "runner," and so we were looking for a way to prevent unexpected exits through the front and back doors of the house that was more secure than a door alarm. The GlideLok was exactly what we needed.The product was easy to install, and it fit perfectly over every size door in our house. It took minimal work and tools to install (though you'll want a drill and possibly a small 1/16" sized drill bit). In no time, we felt more secure about preventing our little ones from leaving the house without us knowing. In-home sitters have also commented about how they feel much more secure knowing the kids are not opening the front or back door.It's super sturdy, and even after accidental strong attempts by an adult to open the door while it was locked, the GlideLok held fast and didn't damage the top of our door. Even after a year or more of use, the gliding mechanism works smoothly and effortlessly. It's as easy as a deadbolt to lock.If there is one downside we've found (and it's not with the product itself), it's remembering to unlock the slider in addition to the door's regular locks. As mentioned before, the adults in the house have mistakenly pulled on the door while the top lock is engaged. Thankfully, this has not yet resulted in any issues (other than perhaps some embarrassment for the opener of the door), but it is something you need to make mental note of when in use.As far as overall safety goes, we did consider household fire safety when installing this product. We ultimately determined that while our kids were preschool and younger it was more important for us to know they were not leaving the house without us and to be responsible for unlocking the door and moving them out to safety in the event of a fire/carbon monoxide incident. As we've worked with our kids to leave the outside doors and locks alone, we have gradually shifted to using the GlideLok only when our kids are playing independently and moving in and out of the rooms where we are.In summary, I am very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to any other parent looking for an extra layer of peace of mind.

I only got the slide lock part. not the part to drill into the door frame. I ended up using a 3 inch screw and the inside of a roll of dog poop bags, and it works fine. I tried to contact the seller via a message, and got an automated response just asking me to review. My solution works, but was certainly not what I expected.

Bought to keep grandkids from opening front door. Very easy to install. Just slides in place and works well. Highly recommend to keep door secure and out of reach of little ones. Can be unlocked from the outside, so not to be used for safety and security purposes other than keeping the littles safe.

The product does work but the only two options are with the provided spacer and with out it, both options did not fit my door. I bought stick on felt as spacers and that also protects the door paint.
