Would this work to keep grandpa from opening the door at night and wander outside. Trying to find something to stop his wandering if we are asleep.

Sorry, no. If he can lift the bar, he can open it. There's no locking mechanism from the inside.

Not sure.Not knowing his personality or his condition. I have worked with Alzheimer clients, would probabaly add to the bottom of the door to blend in. And maybe deadbolts that needs inside key.

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.

I would not recommend this product for that purpose. It works great for its intentional design, but it does not truly lock down from opening on the inside.

Yes- it will work both day and night- repels about a 20' diameter. Surprisingly effective!

i think this should work whether the door opens in our out. this device uses the hole that the door latch fits into when the door closes.

Hi! No, unless that door was never opened. The alarm would go off anytime you closed the door, so unless you're just protecting that door and not using it--I wouldn't buy it for that purpose.

It might help a little bit but doesn't stretch out all that big. I also find that the suction cups pop off of the window occasionally... May not be ideal for waking a sleeping baby:)

I would not use it got this purpose. Didn't work to stop my dog from barking. Use an electric dog fence about a foot inside the perimeter of the fence you have now.

I am sorry my father who has dementia uses it at the nursing home. The staff turn is on for him and for him the timer is perfect as he uses it at night before bed. Sorry I was not helpful.

It would not work for that situation. It is designed to close a door, not slow it down.

It will work if he remembers to wear it. (I did not fit it to be snug due to arthritis and I never sleep with it on.) Okay, so you have a way to get him to wear it... I would put his name, street or just zip, and a phone number to reach someone who will help him. I do not know if he lives in a good neighborhood with surrounding good areas. You do not want some unscrupulous person having his address and taking advantage of him. These are just my thoughts and it is a great thing you are doing!

Unless your lock is weak, I don't think this could be used to help a thief open your door, but it would look very weird if left on an outside door, as it sort of looks like some kind of odd bondage gear.

I think that might work. It would stop the sound once closed. A motion detector might also work. This brand works great.

This will work, it is very sedative. If you touch it it will go off. Hope it works for you.

It didn't work to deter my teenagers, as they pulled hard and the "foam" padding ripped away from backing. That said, I had a "lock" on there that doesn't really look like a lock and they weren't paying attention and just grabber and yanked the door as usual (the door sticks, so we all used to giving it a good strong pull to open it under normal conditions). But to deter burglars?....just depends on how determined in burglars is. All they'd need to do is slip a sharp, thin knife between the metal piece and the door and cut the foam backing. Would I risk 1000s of dollars of food if I was using this on a restaurant fridge? No, I wouldn't, I'd figure out how to get some holes of some sort drilled into the fridge instead. Hope that helps! Good luck.

NO. Also keep in mind, fence gates are not a tight fit. Not only that, on a breezy day... your alarm will be going off every 2 seconds! You would be better off with a motion detector facing an area of none movement that would intercept any movement. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes, it does help keep them from rolling out. My 3 year old toddler has been using it sporadically since she was two and has never rolled out of it. It should be noted, the bed is not really high up horizontally anyway, so even if your grandson does roll out of the bed, he wouldn't be hurt in any serious way, just woken up (assuming you have the bed on the floor, of course).
