The Door Guardian Satin Nickel

This product is the perfect answer to any parent's worst fear. I did not know this item was available or even existed. I needed a lock on the entrance doors of the house that would secure them from being opened by my 4 year old granddaughter. I do not understand how this guardian works or why it works, IT JUST WORKS. Takes a few minutes to follow the easy instructions, a couple of screws into the door frame and the door becomes immovable. It takes 2 steps to unlock it, easy enough for an adult, not a child. I can sleep now, knowing my granddaughter cannot exit the house.

This is by far, the best deadbolt on the market, both for detecting break-ins and more importantly, for child safety. I got it because my grandkid has figured out how to open the front door and can almost reach the lock. This is foolproof security. It's solid and very subtle so you can barely see it, unlike the hook style locks.

I have purchased many of these over the years for different homes and they are amazing. Just search how easy it is to kick in a door and this simple cost effective lock prevents that while at the same time acting as a child-proof lock should you need it. Every home should have one of these. We engage these locks at night when we go to bed and have the piece of mind / security to sleep soundly. When we go on vacation these give us piece of mind as well knowing that our back door which is secluded, is protected and impossible to kick in.

These are great!! I have a very smart 2 y/o who learned how to open the door very young. She cant escape now! I feel safe.

Reasonably priced lock.Works similar to a deadbolt but only a few screw holes to drill. Very secure once installed.

Very durable and strong

This is a great product for extra peace of mind. However, the screws it comes with are trash. They immediately strip and are small. You will most likely want some approximately 3-inch wood or drywall screws to really affix this.

The concept is excellent. The execution is excellent. It is doing it's job. However, I had to use a different set of screws than what they provided. The screws included were cheap and stripped when I tried to use them. If they had put better screws in the package, I would give this five stars but they are saving a few pennies on cheap screws.

Works only for door that open inward and installation is limited to vertical and parallel to handle . Does not work if instal on top or bottom. Not suitable to secure active side of French doors

Suppose to come with self tapping screws and drilling pilot holes is optional to help from splitting the wood door frame. The screws are not self tapping and are soft cheap screws. If you purchase these you will need drill bits and drill pilot holes or you will destroy the screw even if you drill a pilot hole that isn't 100% deep enough. Also good luck trying to use them without a pilot hole of any kind. For the price the screws should be the best self tapping screws money can buy. This also should make you Question the true strength of the product and it's claim. Cheap screws are usually the first to go during forced entry if you have a good solid door frame.
