would this work on a condo. we are fixing to sign a 1 year lease and I need to know if this would work, we cant do any modifications and our 3 year old grandson gets around any childproof locks.

This works by catching the door jamb. If there is a small gap in your exterior doors - it works well. We mainly use it on interior doors to keep kids out of rooms they don't need to be in without supervision. The door stays open a couple of inches, but is too tall for them to reach.

This did not work for me. If you pulled hard on the door it would open; Our grandson, under two, figured it out. So I would guess there is a 50-50 chance this would work for you. My son has gone to another technique for bedroom and bathroom doors in his condo. They lock the doors from the inside while leaving the room! Their door locks allow this. They then keep a jeweler's screwdriver handy to unlock the doors when they need access. I have not found any other contraptions to child proof a door that don't require modifications.

This will definitely work! You attach to the door by pressure, not screws or anything permanent. It has a clamp at the end with what appears to be silicone (very good anyway) padding to protect the door surface, and it comes with a little allen wrench that is used to tighten the clamp. We removed them when we moved out of our house and you never would have known anything was ever there. That's why even though they're a bit pricey I like them.

No! This lock has worked wonderfully at our house! We haven't had any break ins since we installed it, while prior to this lock we had 4. We actually did have an issue with our landlord (I live in a college town and leases are yearly) about changing the doorknob to a locked code. He was worried that in an emergency he would not have access to our house. (Trust me, I lol'd at what kind of emergency would require him to get into our home..) But to appease him we set a "User Code" for him and his maintenance crew to use. Installation was easy & this product works great. All of our neighbors have installed it as well.

I use mine on a 4 foot high, 3 foot wide door. I have a baby lock on the outside that worked for sometime, but when my son got older I upgraded to this. It's important to install close to center of the door. Two on a door would require two keys being used at once. Hope that helps.

I have not used it in that way. But, I can see it might work. There are two challenges:1. Is this lock is weather proof enough. Snow and rain.2. Will this lock can be put on your car's door handle.We put this lock under a canopy so that the lock is protected from snow or rain.Wells Ye, www.FreshTechMaids.com

I'm going to say yes the locks would work on metal doors because I switched the one inside on the wooden door and put it outside and then install this lock inside. Reason had nothing to do with compatibility but with which key the family were more familiar with. Since this work inside and the former worked on the inside and outside I say "yes it works"

Look, this locks works perfectly for a simple standard lock-door system. So only buy one first to try.It wont work with new age , styled , non standard doors.That beeing said, once you put it on its highly improbable that any landlord and or burglar gets in without having to destroy the door.

We are able to set a code for any individual that we want to let into the condo, from your phone. Then it will message you each time the door is opened or closed with what code. (if you want it to.) You can have multiple codes, meaning you can distinguish between maintenance, renter, owner.... You'll love it. You just can't be someone that feels overwhelmed by using phone apps. You just wouldn't like.

It worked great for me. Setup is fairly easy but just read instructions carefully. This will work fine however he/she will see it and disable it....maybe. put it on the outside of the door so it cannot be disabled from his/her side.

It probably will... it's pretty good and much better than those locks for drawers you can buy at baby stores. But it's still plastic so depending on how strong he is, he might break it. You'll also need to keep the magnetic key away from him as he'll see you using it and likely learn. My 3 year old tries but he doesn't know the exact spot to put the key to unlock the door. Overall after trying several locks for cabinet doors this was the best in my opinion. But also the hardest to install so as long as you plan and execute well according to instructions it will be fine.

I found that I had accidentally bumped the child safety door lock actuator during the installation which would create the problem you describe here. Good luck!

I wouldn't recommend using this lock system as a primary. I only use as a deterrent, you know to make it more difficult for some to get in or at least look difficult. I really dont think it is meant to be a primary lock. hope this helps and good luck.

Yes, this should work well.. Just have to locate the proper wire.. You may have to locate the proper wiring, and may need one each for lock/unlock

I believe you need to use a genie brand garage door opener and not sure about the old condo gate openers.

I have had the lock installed for about 3 months and haven't needed to replace them yet. I am sure it will depend on how often the door is opened and closed. I am the only person in my household. On another note, I wouldn't recommend this product because it malfunctions quite a bit. It was replaced once because there was a clicking sound and wouldn't lock. When I got a new one it did the same thing until my fiancé did some adjustments on his own. You could also get the same thing at Home Depot for the same or better price.

Mine works just fine, just followed the instructions. Nevertheless, you can always use one of these, I use one on my fridge locker, for extra security :)Master Lock 4688D TSA Accepted Cable Luggage Lock in Assorted Colors, 1-Pack

I see no reason why not. We use it on tile, but also tile with a rug over it. Works great, much better that the Master Lock version, which we had before.

It fits with no problem. We are using one as a privacy lock on our bedroom door, because the kids are too curious! :)Just require to drill two little holes, but it comes with a template and if you are handy, that should be no trouble.Battery last almost a year for us and still going strong. (Duracell I'm using) If the battery dies there is two other methods to open the lock from outside. It comes with regular Keyes (which you should hide somewhere safe) or there is a connector for a 9V battery on the bottom which will give extra boost for the old batteries inside and let you in as long as your finger is with you!
