Does the Door Guardian lock the door securely, as a deadbolt would? I am really looking for additional security rather than a child proofing device.

Yes, I have installed The Door Guardian on our doors as a security measure. I have found it to be incredibly strong, well built but easy to use. This is the second home I have installed these on. Just make sure the installation is done properly.

Yes it does. That is what we use it for. We bought it as a deadbolt not a child proof device and it works great.

I've installed 2 of these for clients and if they are installed tightly they will add an extra measure of security as well as child-proofing. Both clients are very happy with them. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps.

This product is credited for preventing a break-in in my neighborhood the other day. Mid morning on a weekday, while the wife was home, they tried to kick the door in but couldn't. Several other homes in the neighborhood were similarly targeted, same MO, in the last several months. They got in to those houses.

Yes, in fact I think it is better than a deadbolt because there is no evidence of the lock from the outside of the door.

Yes it locks very secure. I use it in my fifth wheel. This is a heavy duty unit.

It does have a lock that uses a key. The lock is balky and you have to wiggle the door to get the security bars to slide in place and wiggle the key in the lock to get the security bars to release. Keeps the guns locked away from children but would not deter a determined assault.

Yes it does lock, but if your pet is strong enough the door will fall off the screen.

No. The only purpose for the lock is to keep the door from being opened (either accidentally or anti-theft).

Absolutely NOT. It's really not even pick proof. I'm sure a child with time on their hands could pick this lock. Not really secure. Too cheaply made.

No...the lock is inside of the door..the lock has two position... Once the lock is on the track..the door can't be opened...unless you are in the inside..the lock has a spring level..so you have to be careful not to lock yourself out..yes it keeps the kids outside...like I said the lock is on the inside of the door..

No it does not lock. The door holds pretty tight but I feel sure you could not put a lock on it either. A good jerk would pull it open and it is just plastic so not a good idea to install one. But it is a very nice mailbox and doors do hold pretty tight.

It certainly isn't designed to work for that. I have used Mommy's Helper Slide-Lok Bi-Fold Door Lock ( Mommy's Helper Slide-Lok Bi-Fold Door Lock ) and it works better than you would think it would from its picture.

I feel very confident that the safe when attached with the cable to the bar under my passenger seat is secure. No one could get it outwithout taking the seat out. I am a female and work nights and take my glock with me in my gun safe. It is locked when I go into work and when I come out I unlock the safe but leave my gun inside. So, I have easy access. I am sure it cannot be stolen by someone unless they take the whole car.

The locks are quite secure on mine. I have no complaints or concerns about them. I love this case.

Thank you for your inquiry. We have not had any customer that specifically said they were going to use this with a lock. Please contact us if we can be of any further assistance.

Well, there's a little pin thing (included with the unit) you can stick in a hole in a tab at the bottom of the door that will keep it from (a) swinging open unless you remove the pin, (b) confound a dumb cat or dog that likes to pull at doors, (c) slow down a child intent on opening the door. We have no reason to use it so haven't tried it. I think you probably could use a small padlock stuck through the tab to better lock the door. In other words, there is a mechanism provided, and a clever owner probably improvise a better locking device using their design features.

There's a Plexiglas panel that slides into place and is held in with a pin. This makes it VERY secure. It's not as 100% secure as a metal door would be, but pretty close IMHO.

No actual locking mechanism but it does sit relatively securely. When operational I do hold it in place just in case.

It locks automatically every time you close the door. It never locks Someone inside the room...unless the handle is turned backwards, of course.

The lock will always use power when it is locked. I found that it would not hold a screwdriver tight enough that I could not pull it right off, so I couldn't imagine how it could keep someone from pushing open my gate. I bought the "Estate" lock, I have been very pleased with its easy working mechanical latch system. I only uses power to open, and is not going to let the gate open if someone tries to force it.
