Is this a good product to use a the Main Patio Door Lock? I see a lot of review about toddlers however Will it stop Adults from coming in

I wouldn't trust it as a security lock on its own, though it might add some extra deterrence in conjunction with a separate lock.

I used this on a main sliding patio door also. It works well for a two and three year old. It was stayed attached when it is inadvertently forgotten by the adults, but because it is affixed by adhesive, it's limits are unknown. It has added extra security with the toddlers, as they really like unlocking doors and opening them.

Yes I think it would be good for that purpose as well. It's actually very strong.

My husband put this gate up because we have a dog, and I liked the design. Also because I wusnted something that would swing open. The easy lach is a big plus. But we have it installed at the top of the stairs. We have a new grand baby, and my concern, is when she gets old enought to crawl/ walk. Is the latch going to be strong enought to keep the gate from breaking open ? I don't want it to be something I have to worry about, her falling doun the stairs. It's screwed into the studs of the doorway on both sides. But I need answeres. Thanks Tammy

Just go to http://www.amazon.com/North-States-Industries-Superyard-Colorplay/dp/B006NTY1HK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1422571149&sr=8-3&keywords=north+states+baby+play+yard and click on the photo that's listed as a video. It clearly explains and demonstrates how to separate the panels. Not user that I wold use a section of the pen to block a door for an 18 month old though. They are not very sturdy as freestanding panels, and a toddler could easily knock them over. You'd be better off with a product designed to specifically to block a door. There are lots of them out there...get one that is pressure mounted if you don't want to mar your walls or mess with screws. I have a nice one made by "Summer" that is quite secure when it's installed according to the directions, and it automatically swings shut and latches. Much safer for a toddler and I'm pretty sure I got it here on Amazon too....

I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose, this lock leaves at least an inch gap after it's fastened so it wouldn't be ideal for doors that need to be completely closed. I'd suggest looking for door knob locks or deadbolts for front doors.

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.

It locks and you cannot get into easily if you have done that. Just keep the key up from the kids.

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.

It closes pretty well...it has a magnetic closer on both doors....you could also rubberband the doorknobs together to keep a young child from opening them. Hope this helps

No , it's a safety lock to keep people from going out or people coming in. Can only be accessed from the inside.

Yes as long as the lock is not engaged. This gate closes securely and has an additional push button lock. If the lock is not engaged a baby will be safe behind it but a toddler can still lift the handle to go through.

It's a key lock, takes about the same amount of time as a pad lock. Mine is only locked when I'm not home. I don't have kids.

This is a well built product. The lock is sturdy. An adult might figure out how to break it but not a child. The lock is also hidden. Most kids will not figure out that the plastic cover on the lock comes off.

I would say yes. But remember since it just sticks on the glass, if someone really wanted to get in they probably could slam the door really hard and it would come off of the glass. I use it to keep my toddler inside of my house. Not really for security purposes.

The answer is a definite no. The only way your toddler would be able to turn the lock is if he/she the removed Grip Lock. I like the item so well I have bought one for every outside door and the garage door to the house.

Yes, the locks will keep adults out too. My huband installed the locks and, as other reviewers stated, they can be a pain to install. Very important to remember: KEEP TRACK OF THE MAGNETIC KEY!!! Or, buy an extra one. We found out that our key did work even though it was melted a little (was left on top of hot stove for a few minutes). All-in-all, I believe these locks were well worth the money.

The thingie on the end (yep, I'm mechanically inclined!!) can be pretty tight if it is fitting tightly on the place you're putting it. I'm not sure if a 3-year old could unlock it or not (my son is now 25 and I don't remember back that far!). Also, putting it at the top to stop the window from opening may be enough height to keep it out of reach. To be honest, I'd give it a try, maybe start with one and see what you think. I just know I feel secure in my house alone, with my windows open to let air in and not worry that someone can get in. I love these!

The Safety 1st did not work for a clever cat but probably will work on a toddler. You can always turn the know around so the lock is on the outside rather than the inside of the door.
