in a multi-family house, can adults pull on the refrigerator door &amp; break the lock?

Ours has been on our fridge for almost 1 year now. I have several times yanked on the door forgetting it was there and it is still stuck as strong as the first day I put it on! It has survived parties from adults yanking on the door not realizing it is there as well. I think you actually have to pry it off of the door when you are ready to remove it.

with this particular lock, yes you can. it uses a skeleton key, not a lock lever or button you see on the modern door knobs. so, to lock the door, you need to use the key which means - don't loose it. if you have children, you may not want to keep it in the lock like i do (live my my self). so in short, you close the door, turn the key and it's locked.

No. Someone could kick this lock open pretty easily. We use them on inside doors for child-proofing purposes i.e., locking door to basement so our toddler can't pull the door open and fall down the stairs.

First, you would need the door open to program. If it is locked, they can't get in.

This is impossible to answer with any degree of certainty. It depends upon the height of the person, the height of the door and the strength of the person. I am rather short, almost 74 and the oven is above my stove. I do not have a problem and the door does not feel difficult to open. Not much pull is required to open, and not much force is required to close. Whether this is true for every unit I cannot say. Sorry to be so arbitrary, but there are too many variables.

Fill the key hole with glue... but that will render it useless for you too... because it's a key hole entry any lock picking method is likely to work (although paper clip is dubious). This safe is not to secure the device from being stolen, a thief can simply pick it up take it home and break into it at their leisure. This safe is stop your children from getting access to a weapon or valuables that you don't want them to have access to. If you want something truly secure, get a floor safe you can bolt to the floor, weighs hundreds of pounds and has no key access.

Yes it can. Basic idea of lock is that a toddler isn't strong enough to do it, although eventually a persistent one may be able to override lock.

Yes. You can make it so you don't have to use the lock. And that is probably the best way. The lock is overkill for preventing small children

Probably not - while the bar itself is strong, most adults would be able to open it. You are probably better off locating some sort of locking bar (with a key mechanism) or even a tamper alarm, to wake you up if he wanders outside.

Yes, as most garage door openers can be.. You can prevent it with a tie wrap or paper clip. Check out some youtube videos on the subject. UPDATE*** I looked at it last night, and the release lever is designed to release with a pull toward the power head. this would seem to negate the 6 second break in risk. Also, I have 2 of these.. One is 2 years old and working fine.. I like them..no problems so far.

Unless someone's trying hard to break in to your house these would hold well.. My fridge's been "safe" from my 4-yr old ever since I installed this.

Hello, There is a turn knob on the inside of the door knob to lock from the inside of the home. Thanks and have a great day.

Not really, as long as you lock it. you can latch it closed and then there is a switch to actually lock it.

Yes, very easily. When its engaged in door slightly open position, there is about 1-4 inches of play, so kids can't open and can't crush fingers. An adult can reach up, tap the device so that it swings on hinge and disengages. Then when the adult swings the door in what would be a closing motion, the unit re-engages. You can disengage easily with one hand, allowing you to carry something in the other.

In addition, you can disengage the locks by pushing the little switch so that if you are working in your kitchen, you can get into your cabinets easily. As a grandparent, these work well for us because the little one is not always here and we just disengage them when he is not at our house and lock them back up when he is. My daughter has them also and loves them.

You mean if you have a side by side fridge and freezer? You could lock one to the other. Put one on the freezer door and one on the fridge door and lock them together. It attaches with adhesive and it's strong.

There is no key. But if someone unlocks your door. And u have an addalock in place, they can't get in without kicking down the door. Also, this can't be used if your not home as it is put in place from the inside.
