Questions & Answers

Can anyone tell me if they've experienced this locking on their own and getting locked out of their account?

As I need to lift the device out of a locked position in order to open and close it, it may be difficult for the device to lock on its own.

What kind of hardware comes with it?

A set of mounting screws is included.

Is it possible to install this on an interior ?

However, the steel door will require the correct screws. You might have to supply these as well. Wood screws are included in the package.

I would like to know how this mount works. Want to use it on bifold closet doors? Mounting plate on the front, the back?

In the door jamb, the mounting plate is located between the frame and the door edge. There will be no chance for this to work on a bilingual computer When you fold a door, it folds in and away from the jamb as opposed to a flush door opening inward.

This is a great additional security measure Simple to install and takes just five minutes
5/5

Amazon provided me with three sets of the same for my three I will install them within the next few days. Click here for a look at the installed photos. Your doors will be more secure if you add additional security. Women, in particular, should pay attention to these issues. NB Please note The picture below shows how to place it across from the door. It would be really bad for a small child to accidentally lock themselves in there while playing around.
These are so cool I had to make one.

For those living in non-smoking rooms, this is an inexpensive, easy privacy solution The locking mechanism
5/5

In the last few weeks, we moved into a three-bedroom house A three-bedroom home does not have any locks for any of the bedrooms. There are matching knobs on all the doors in the house and they are a discontinued design, so replacing the knobs with locking ones would not be practical. This switch lock is very inexpensive (less than $3), matches the metal of the existing hardware on the door, and is easy to install and quick to operate. A privacy screen is a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to furnish a space. With these, you really can't go wrong. (Ensure that there is a sufficient gap between the door and the jamb to accommodate.

You can talk to your friends without having to deal with children
5/5

Our sole reason for purchasing this was for its aesthetic appeal. There is a little boy in the house and we need some privacy. Knob locks are also easy for them to unlock. It's not a good idea for them to walk in while we are talking. Worked perfectly the first time. I found the installation to be very easy.

Your doors will stay closed with these since your kids can't open them! You are doing an amazing job with these
5/5

Our kids are not able to open the doors from the inside using these devices, and they work perfectly for this. The best thing about these is that they are very affordable. They can be a bit tricky to open at first, but as soon as you get the hang of them, they will become second nature. Only in the event of an accidental lockout am I concerned It is very unlikely that it would happen, but anything is possible in theory. However, with a lot of force you might be able to get through one of these, but if your door has been damaged you are likely to sustain some damage to the frame.

The preschooler will be unable to open the front door if it's blocked
5/5

A 4 year old in our household utilizes these for our front door because he has figured out all the locks and wants to help us when Amazon comes knocking. This place is out of the way and small enough that they are out of reach for him.

It should be a part of every A pyrometer was installed at the front door as soon as I moved into my new home
5/5

The family that lived next door to the family before had kids, and the lock kept the kids from opening the doors. In any event, I have no children and it gives me an extra level of satisfaction (being a single lady living alone). The other one went on the other door as well.

5/5

So far, I have not installed it, but I have another one on another door, and it seems to work well. So I assume this one will work fine, too. Locks t that work well for doors in old houses but don't work very well for new ones.

A key component of placement is your choice of location! I was disappointed after installing this locking device for the first time
5/5

I easily got into my house through my front door. I got frustrated and started to return the product. However, I soon realized that the problem was not with the product, but with In my case, the lock fell out of engagement due to its location too far back on the door jam. In the event that the lock was not placed correctly, it locked without causing any problems and my door now won't It's a relief to know that my crafting area and my toddler are safe!.
