GlideLok Heavy Duty Metal Door Top Security Lock - 3 Pack Set for Sliding Glass Doors, Patio & Balcony Safety (Child Proof & Burglar Proof)

The GlideLok door lock for kids safety is a top of door childproofing lock, which means it stays out of reach of young children and toddlers. Unlike babyproofing the door handle or adding a knob safety guard, the GlideLok's position ensures that only adults can operate it. The GlideLok utilizes a metal bolt that screws into the door frame, allowing the sliding piece to glide over and secure the door. This product can be operated by adults from BOTH sides of the door. It's ideal for both heavy-duty external doors and standard interior ones. Constructed from painted metal, it offers superior durability and resistance to weather compared to plastic alternatives. The device accommodates a wide range of door widths, fitting most up to 1-3/8 inches thick – or even up to 1-13/16 inches without the spacer bar. (NOTE: You must use a #2 drill bit to remove the spacer bar.) The GlideLok serves as an essential tool in child and toddler door safety and is an effective child proof door lock for your home.

BEFORE ORDERING THIS 3-PACK, CHECK YOUR DOOR THICKNESS. Works on most hinged doors up to 1-3/8 inches thick (or up to 1-13/16 inches thick after removing GlideLok’s spacer bar). OK for interior and exterior doors, French doors, and doors with knobs, handles or large / oddly shaped levers. NOT compatible with any type of sliding door on a track, such as sliding glass, bifold or pocket doors. Also NOT compatible with patio screen doors, storm doors, double doors that swing in both directions, or metal door frames.

MUST DRILL 1 SCREW (INCLUDED) INTO YOUR DOOR FRAME. The screw goes on the side of the door WITHOUT the hinges. For exterior doors, this is typically the exterior / outside part. (But the GlideLok can still operate from either side.) Before purchasing, ensure you can reach the top of your door to lock/unlock the GlideLok.

SITS ON THE VERY TOP OF YOUR DOOR SO KIDS CANNOT GET TO IT. Unlike most door lever locks, door knob covers or other door locks for kids safety, the GlideLok rests on top of the door and overhangs each side the same way a saddle does. This means it’s fully out of your child’s reach to mess with it. The GlideLok’s sophisticated look works well with most home décor.

ADULT CAREGIVERS CAN OPERATE THE GLIDELOK FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE DOOR. You won’t be trapped on the wrong side of the door while your kids are left separated from you on the other side (a common issue with most door handle lever locks). The GlideLok can also be left disengaged if you don’t need it for an extended period, so you wouldn’t need to unlock it each time.

SOLID METAL WON’T FLEX OR CRACK LIKE LOCKS MADE FROM CHEAP PLASTIC. GlideLok is the only door top child and toddler safety lock made of sturdy, painted metal instead of flimsy plastic. It can last through multiple children to childproof doors throughout your house, such as the master bedroom, front and back door, pantry, linen closet and basement.
