Child Proof Door Lock & Pinch Guard - For Door Knobs & Lever Handles - Easy to Install - No Tools or Tape Required - Baby Safety Door Lock For Kids - Very Portable - Great for Dogs & Cats

This is a fantastic little gadget. My tornado of a niece is almost 7 and very smart, and this little guy still works to keep rooms off limits. The only downside is that it only works with certain frames. It needs a decent sized edge to grip or it's useless. Unfortunately the second one I bought had to go back for that reason - the frame is rounded and so it wouldn't catch.

I tried other door handle knob ones and they didn’t fit right or were too easy for my 2 year old to open. Keep in mind with this the door won’t shut all the way. But I don’t need it to, in fact I prefer it that way. When I need to shut the door it’s very easy to remove. Goes on in a second and keeps the other kids out.

Let me first say the Door Monkey is seriously life changing if you have little escape artists like I do. As a mom of 3, this product has been a staple in my household for about 7 years. My oldest (at 18 months old) figured out every baby-proofing device on the market. We had to find something that would keep him in his room overnight because he would get up in the middle of the night, sneak downstairs for a midnight snack, and in the morning I would find half-eaten butter sticks (he thought it was cheese) or full tubs of yogurt with a spoon sticking out hidden under the dining room table. We tried putting the lock on his door backwards, but since it was one he could open with a coin, he would pull pants out of his closet and use the zipper pull to unlock the door, he also used buttons on shirts and even pulled the tabs off furniture (the screw hole cover tabs) to pick the lock. We had to do contraband searches in his room to make sure he didn't hide objects that could unlock the doors. We finally found the door monkey and it was life changing.We absolutely love this little device! It is super easy to install and use! It keeps the door open just about an inch, so no pinched fingers and air can still circulate in and out of the room. Fast forward to child number 2, also an escape artist, we were totally prepared for his shenanigans with the door monkey. Fast forward to child number 3, this device is easy for my two older kids to operate on their doors to keep little sister out of their rooms, it keeps the cat out of her room, and we don't worry about pinched fingers or slamming doors. My boys like having control over being able to let themselves in and out of their rooms, with no worries about getting locked in a room like some of the devices out on the market.I will say, my two older boys figured out if they pushed on the door at just the right spot, it would pop the door open, but they were about 3 when they figured that out. I do have the door buddy to keep the dog out of the room the litter box is in, we like the door buddy, but the problem we have is that it is an adhesive fixture, which is why we only have 1 to allow the cat in her room while keeping kids and the dog out. We don't like adhesive products mainly because we live in military housing ... and anyone who has lived in military housing knows when you remove anything adhesive from the walls or doors, you will pull about 15 layers of paint off with it (even command strips). Since I don't want to get charged for those repairs and I'd rather not try to fix it myself, we really limit the number of adhesive products we use in our home(s).You do need to make sure you don't have a beveled or rounded door jam, the door monkey won't work on those (you will need the adapter, which wasn't available when I first found these). Sometimes the doors are too narrow for the door monkey to really stay tight on the door, but that's an easy fix with some rubber furniture pads cut down to size, slip that between the door and door monkey and it won't budge on you, and it won't leave a mark on the door.I highly recommend this product (I'm ordering more today since my littlest one is discovering she's tall enough to reach all the handles and she's exploring more of the house) to keep your little ones safe and to preserve your sanity (and let you get some much needed sleep)!

These are the best. We have it on our closet door that’s not safe for our toddler to be in. Easy to open and close. We got one for our basement door and then another 2 for other doors in our house. They are much easier to handle than locking the door!

The media could not be loaded. I will not fault the manufacture for me not reading. But, what I thought when buying this was that it would allow the door to close fully but have an additional "lock" to keep my kid from opening the door.Currently we have the door handle covers that are supposed to keep your children from being able to open the door. My kid figured out the trick so they no longer work. We found this device and thought that it would be perfect for us. For the most part it is....but the door doesn't close all the way. There is always going to be a 2" or so gap in the door. It is easy enough to remove the "lock" and reinstall it if you do need to close the door, so it isn't THAT big of a deal. It just would have been nicer if the door could still close all the way with the "lock" on. To their credit, the pictures do show that there is a gap in the door. I just assumed that was to demonstrate how the "lock" works when your kid tries to open the door.With that being said, it absolutely works to keep my kid out of the room we don't want him going in.Pros:- keeps kids out of rooms that you don't want them in- easy to install and uninstall- damage free install- no screws or tape usedCons:- door stays open slightly when "lock" is on door

This was exactly what I needed. I did not want to put holes in the door frame with five screws. This worked wonderfully. Purchasing another!

The media could not be loaded. Game changer. If you have a mischievous, curious little one who has learned to open doors, this is for you! This simple little gadget will give you peace of mind. Don’t let the easy of application fool you, this item really keeps little hands from opening doors and from getting pinched. Now I no longer have to run after the baby when she’s trying to enter the bathroom or any forbidden room. I bought one to try it out. It worked so well that I just bought another one. The best thing about it is that once you place it, it works automatically. No need to apply and remove. It can be placed at any height on the door and it is easily removed. Opening the door is very easy with one hand. The one thing that I don’t really like is that the door stays slightly open so if you needed complete privacy, this would not be the thing to use. Despite that, I love this gadget. It has made my life so much better. Thank you for this product.
