Lever Lock

Comments about Kidco Inc Lever Lock:

This product worked well for us but when it came time to remove it, it left lots of "gummy" residue on the door. We ended up having to use paint remover to get it off & then had to repaint the door.

I use it on my daughter's bedroom to keep her from wandering around the house in the middle of the night. I can get in to her room as if it wasn't there but she can't get out. As a pediatrician: trust me, this is not cruel, this is a matter of safety and once she figured it out, she doesn't cry she simply knocks on the door asking for me in the morning.

I have been very disapointed with the availability of Lever Locks so I only bought 1 to try it out and I am THRILLED with this. I have had it on the inside of my 22 month olds door for 2 months and it's still on strong (I installed with the sticky's instead of drilling into the door and you can't tell that it's not screwed. My 22 month old can't open this yet she opens every gate in my house!! (foot gates, hand gates, 41" gates too!!) So I came back to order one for almost every door inside my home to replace the gates!! You CAN still open the door from the other side! (A vital feature missing from other lever locks)

We liked this item because even if we are coming in from the other side of the door - we can get in - unlike some of the other items. The design is bulky. But is very easy to install and use. My 15 month old has not figured it out yet. He looks at it then walks away!

On the second attempt that my 3 yr. old made to try and open it, he succeeded. I was shocked that it was so easy for him to open. I would not recommend this.

After installing this lever lock on my 2 1/2 year old daughter's closet door she was able to figure out how to open it in less than a minute. This product may be useful with real little ones, but with an even remotely precocious toddler, this is not going to deter opening any doors.

These were very easy to install and does keep my daughter out of the boys room. I like that you can still open the door from the other side. My one complaint is that the handle part slips out and back--allowing the "catch" from the part above the handle to drop down behind it and not lock the handle at all. This could be improved. Until then, I just make it a habit to push the handles in when I walk by.

After looking around I bought 5 of these for our "french door" style handles that we have throughout the house. They keep my 2-year-old out of the bathrooms and bedrooms, and are VERY easy to install. No hassle to install (although you do have the option to screw in the base to the door if you would like). I would highly recommend getting these for this type of door handle. Easy for mom & dad to use, but difficult for toddlers.

However, I only gave this item 4-stars because my friend's 4 1/2 year old was able to figure out how to open these upon first try with no trouble at all. Depending on the child, these are probably useful until the age of 3.5 or 4 years.

My son quickly figured out how to use the other brand door protection. With the other kind all you have to do is lift the door handle up. This clever design make you have to use both hands. I can't keep my son away from the vacuum cleaner and he wants to plug it in the wall. This keeps him safe and me a little more sane.

This product was super easy to install. We used the adhesive backing which might not be the sturdiest choice, but it only took a few minutes to install. It may be a better choice to use the included screws if you have older children. The lock is pretty easy for us adults to use too, so you don't feel like a prisoner in your own home! Although, you must use two hands to open the door.

Easy to install and works great! We were so happy to find this lock. Our 1 year old kept getting into the bathrooms and even outside. We bought one to try and I'm ordering 8 more.

Comments about Kidco Inc Lever Lock:

We bought this lever lock to try, since we didn't really like the other lever lock option. This lock installed in just a couple of minutes and it is so easy to use. We love it. You can actually use it one handed, since you usually have something or someone in the other hand. We have had children up to age 3 in our home and they haven't been able to get through it. We will be buying more of this type of lever lock and throwing away the other style.
