Product Review
The GlideLok child proof door lock is a top-of-door lock, so children cannot reach it. This works better than making your door handle child proof or installing a door knob safety cover. The GlideLok is your first step in implementing door safety for kids. A metal peg mounts into the door frame, and the GlideLok slides around the peg to lock and will release from either side of the door. Perfect for exterior or thicker doors but can also be used for interior doors. Painted metal is weather resistant and more durable than plastic models. Can be used for a variety of door thicknesses - any door up to 1 3/8". The GlideLok has holes for the possible attachment of a hook or rod (not included), which is helpful for especially tall doors / shorter adults.
- FIRST MEASURE YOUR DOOR THICKNESS BEFORE PURCHASING THIS 2-PACK. Fits most hinged doors up to 1-3/8 inches thick (or up to 1-13/16 inches thick when GlideLok's spacer bar is removed). Fits exterior and interior doors, French doors, and doors with levers, oversized/unique handles, and knobs. Does NOT fit any sliding door on a track, such as pocket doors, bifold doors, or sliding glass doors. Also does NOT fit storm doors, patio screen doors, metal door frames, or double doors that swing in both directions.
- YOU MUST DRILL ONE SCREW (INCLUDED) INTO DOORFRAME. Most exterior doors require the screw to be drilled on the outside/exterior portion of the door frame. (But you can still operate the GlideLok from both sides.) Make sure you can reach the top of your door in order to operate the GlideLok.
- PARENTS CAN EASILY LOCK AND UNLOCK FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE DOOR. Unlike other door handle childproof locks, you will not get stuck on the wrong side while your toddler is left alone, separated from you. Also, if you don’t need the door locked for a while, just leave the GlideLok unlocked, and you can open and close the door as usual until you are ready to lock the GlideLok again.
- SITS ON TOP OF THE DOOR SO CHILDREN CANNOT ACCESS IT. The GlideLok rests on top of the door and overhangs both sides, similar to a saddle. This sets it apart from most childproof door lever locks or door knob child proof locks, because kids cannot try to destroy it or take it apart. Also, the GlideLok’s subtle appearance fits nicely with any home décor.
- LONG-LASTING METAL WILL NOT FLEX OR BREAK LIKE FLIMSY PLASTIC LOCKS. GlideLok is the original top of door child safety lock made of durable, painted metal, not cheap plastic. So it will keep your children and toddlers safe for many years. Use to secure doors throughout your home, including the basement, laundry room, pantry, bedroom, front/back door, and more.
