FuriousTechnology May possibly be a good product but it’s pointless to put it on the door in the video- it has a window, need I say more?
All you need to do is kick the door in and that defender will definitely break.
I can see maybe adding 2 or 3 per door for the reinforcement but not just 1, and yes, I agree, if your door has a window.....
@@JorgeRodriguez-eg1vb Yes, you need two on each (windowless) door. I have two on each door I installed these on, 4 doors, making 8 of these total. Much more effective than a single device. You want to put one of them about 2ft above your knob and then the other 1 and 1/2 feet down from it.
@@yishaiwolfe6308 TylerTube tested it and it failed in 5 kicks.
I just hope none of the burglars in your area have access to tactical milk jugs.
Yeap! McNally Official destroyed that latch with a "tactical" milk jug!
You don’t understand how this video helped me. I was at my friends house and all of a sudden her daughter locked herself in the room and found this video and I slid my phone under the door so that she can understand how to unlock it since she’s only 6 years of age. She was successful thanks to your video
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why is underneath her door so high lol
@@jojomakes maybe they lifted the door a bit or it had gap big enough.. phones are thin nowadays anyways
@@jojomakes Maybe they live in an apartment. Those doors have gaps.
So she locked the defender lock shown in this tutorial playing around and couldn't get it unlock or some else? Just want to make sure a child can't lock these with ease and can't get to the ones not old enough to understand video
I'm going to install this in the guest room, that's where my Mother In-Law stays at, Make sure she never gets out, ever again. 🤨
🤣🤣🥴
hilarious. I'd like to exhume my mother in law and throw her moldering remains on my ex's front lawn.
EL EVO,... Thank you. I needed that. When I read your comment I immediately began to laugh & I mean a loud, uncontrollable & ongoing laugh!
😂😂😂
😂
I used them for child safety locks to keep the kids from opening the door every time the doorbell rang. I just installed them in my empty nest as I missed the extra security they offer. Great device!
Milk jug can open it.
You win some, you lose some. I have these locks. They work great. I was going to say something funny about your door with the window. But after reading the comments, I'll just say "Great idea! Thanks"
I’m sure it’s been mention but recommendation is to put it closest to the actual deadbolt as feasible because the deadbolt is what helps assist in ripping through the trim of your door and that’s where the momentum is focused... where you have it will certainly work, but because where the force will be applied is the deadbolt area it is better to get the latch lock in that general area. Props for installing and having something man! Also reinforce your trim on the deadbolt side with 3 or 3-1/2 deck screws every 12” or so this adds another could hundred pounds of force to your secure door
I have already put 3 1/2” screens in the deadbolt area.
Could you guys elaborate on the "reinforcing your trim on the deadbolt side every 12" comment? I'm curious what you mean by that as I am not exactly literate in this area. I am going to by this security lock, but I do want to add more security where I can on top of that, so if you could explain that to me, it would be great 💪
@@johnnieboy66 The bolt of the deadbolt goes into a plate on the jamb and the inner trim (and outter) around the door helps attach the door to the door frame, usually just pin nails through the trim into the door jamb and finish nails through the trim into the framing. This is the area to reinforce a foot above and a foot below with lots of finish nails or screws. Real wood trim is better than MDF. the idea is to make the area that is going to receive the most blunt trauma is the deadbolt and what is holding it to the door and in the door frame stronger. This is why safes have multiple bolts. And remember, it's EXTREMELY hard to kick in a door that opens out. Sadly most residential exterior doors open inward. Change this and it really helps prevent kick-ins.
@@Lewisusa11 how do you change it? Could you make a video explaining it or maybe let me know where I can see a visual of what you're explaining. Thank you so much for the info.
@@teres3993 Your deadbolt bolt sits into the door frame, then trim goes on top of that. When a dead bolt door gets kicked in the deadbolt rips through the frame and then pushes off the door trim. A lot of times the door trim comes off the wall and frame in one long piece. You put long screws through the door trim into the frame from the inside. It will reinforce the trim some but will look like hell unless you're good with wood working and cover the screw heads.
I'm going to open your door with a milk jug
Thank you! I have toddlers. Ordering these right now!
Excellent hardware. I installed them in my house several years ago. Still in use, very, very solid security.
Does it accidentally close when you are outside? What would you do if this happens? I rent an apartment and I have a little one who likes to explore but I'm not sure if landlord accept this one
K B install higher up and no you have to lock it.
Just hope the robber don’t have a milk jug
Lol there is a video on YT of this getting defeated with a plastic milk jug.
Thanks to your video, I have since bought this type lock in a two pack! One for me, and one for my neighbor! We're happy to have them, thank you!
I’ve had one on mine for years things works great
I have this on my back door that is hidden in a fenced yard away from view of neighbors (front door close to well lit street and I have neighbors who smoke outside even in blizzards). Along with deadbolt and keyed entry and hinges all using 3.5 -4" , I have this knee height and again just above deadbolt. Statistically most break-ins in homes (as opposed to high rise apartments) are through an unlocked window. Breaking the double or triple pane glass is a lot harder than you might imagine and noise brings unwanted attention. If they get through my back door, alarms will sound and blinding lights flash. LOL! I pity the fool!
I think the one you drill into the floor that slides in against the door is the best as its not relying on th door frame for strength ,its the floor holding the door shut.
With 4 inch screw going into the studs. I would think it would take some force go break it down. Not including 4 in screws for the deadbolt. Thats my setup
In New York City those are called "Police Locks"... my aunt in Harlem has it.
What lock is this?
@@kelso1286 Try Nightlock. But I wouldn't try this on a rental without permission from the LL. I'm sure most LL's wouldn't appreciate having holes drilled through their wooden floors.
First of all, I would never have glass doors. Also, your door frame and its strength are important. Last but not least, the length of the screws in your door hinges matters a lot. Some people use one half inch screws for their hinges and make it much easier for doors to be kicked in. Replace them with 3-inch screws.
I have a similar door as the one shown in this video. I installed TWO of these locks, one above and one below the deadbolt, because that's where the burglars would kick the door. Used 3" long "premium quality" screws. To protect the window, I bought a window grill from Home Depot for $60.
Very good thinking. I think most burglars, after much effort, would choose another place.
We have an old house and our old back door use to have a pressure spring loaded foot push and release thick deadbolt that went into the floor. People back in the 30's had great ideas before their time.
What are premium quality screws? I just picked up some 4" wood screws from Walmart.
Thank you. I can use this on my bedroom, but probably not my front door. Due to being disabled, I live in a low income apartment in an area where they've essentially legalized drugs. It's super scary here. My anxiety is horrible right now 🙏🏻 Blessings 🙌
We live in low income too and have 3 kids (1 runner) and installed this on our front door and highly recommend it!! Makes me feel safer when home and keeps the kids in!
First saw these at a Love's truck stop. They have them on the showers rooms so you know you are safe when you are showering.
Find trucker stuff here @Alienoutsider43 on Instagram
I can now drop the soap without fear. Thanks!
@@camaroman101 😂😂😂😂
I bought one of these to try it and immediately bought 2 more. I've also replaced the cheap strike plates and replaced all the door screws with 3" SS deck screws. I also spent a few bucks for brackets that hold a 2X4 across a door in the garage that gives us backyard access.
I think it’s important to remember that when it comes to burglary, you just don’t want to be the lowest hanging fruit. This would be a great thing to have because most criminals are amateurs and will check the nob, kick the door once or twice and move on to someone else who left their window unlocked. But there are professionals out there who would make quick work of this. I’d invest in a security system as well as motion lights or those ring doorbells along with this device.
Ring also has motion sensor floodlights with a camera built in and a speaker that can either yell at someone that they are being recorded, or set off a loud alarm
All they need to do is to cut off power to disable all security devices lol
@@OhSidney well the idea is that your breaker is in your house. If you have an external breaker, they would be caught on camera and the motion lights would kick on before they got to your breaker. Then, you shoot them many many times and when you think you’ve shot them enough, shoot them again.
@Richard Gilley Encrypted exterior cameras in the back of the house can send an alert image to your phone when an intruder is approaching. It probably took them some time break out a whole back door so the alert gives you time to call the police or an armed neighbor.
They are probably not even wearing masks so you’d have their face on camera.
How are they going to pull it out then away? It would take longer than lock picking by a while.
Absolutely super super cool for us parents with our little ones. 👍🏼
But for only $10 each, why not put one low and one high, including deadbolt?
AT IDEA
Why not put 10? So every time you want to go out you would spend 5 minutes to unlock the door. That is a fucking glassdoor man, if anybody really wants to go in, he can, deadlocks would still remain locked.
If someone was going to kick the door or use a Ram of some kind - at what height would it most likely be at ???
@I P Freely i think they have this cheap security see through vinyl you can put on your windows some people claim they are bullet proof but they arent but they are entry proof
I just put them solid around the entire door frame inside& out, My gf keeps trying to escape heh hem i mean leave. Not sure why she's always crying when I go down to the basement to check on her & fill her food bowl for the week almost every Saturday.
OMG! Thank you a thousand times! I could not figure out how to release the locking mechanism. I sent a set back because the instructions said to just squeeze and open but didn't mention the pulling motion. I was getting so frustrated. Yours is the first video I've found that demonstrated the steps so well. Thanks.
Door Devil on all exterior doors with a ASNI grade 1 deadbolt to prevent bumping. Ditch the glass door and have all exterior doors of metal construction. With the Door Devil or similar product, a metal frame is not necessary. Also, reinforce the door hinges with 3.5 inch wood screws. Be sure to drill pilot holes before installing the wood screws, so you do not split the framing.
I have installed these on all my doors and feel so much safer. I really like how tight & flush the door is when these are engaged.
These are so easy to get open
Thank you for this video tutorial! I was struggling to open the device and you made it so easy to understand. :)
We have that lock , bought it at Home-depot , my husband put it on basement door , like it a lot 👍
Great video! I have 2 of these on all of my doors leading outside. One six inches above the deadbolt and another six inches below the bottom lock. This reinforces it from being kicked. Wonderful video thank you!
Bruh why are you so paranoid, just get a gun at that point
@@vicgamesvt9682 maybe he’s in a place where guns are illegal like Chicago or New York
A gun is also useless if the attacker breaks in and gets to you before you get to your weapon. With a better door lock at least you should have some warning that someone is trying to break down the door, or force them to come through a window.
@@vicgamesvt9682 I'd prefer to not have to shoot someone.
HELLO THAT A GLASS DOOR
ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS BRAKE YOUR GLASS ..
OR THEY COULD CUT A DOOR IN A WALL OR CUT THE ROOF OFF, SHUT UP ABOUT WHAT IF'S DON'T HAVE KIDS IDIOT
@@marionroark8237 bruh why are you so mad? Haha
He has a point
"Break", not "brake".
@@stwickers get back in your looney bin grammar nazi
@@marionroark8237 Follow your own Advice cause E R makes a good point.
I put 4" screws into my metal security door. typically the studs are at least double thick at the doors so you get 4 to 5 inch or more of wood to bite into. I want those cruises long and far as I can get in there so that somebody can't kick in the door and bust the screws out
Did you have a metal door frame?
Make sure to reinforce the hinges with 5 inch screws as well
Per drill the holes before installing the 3-3 1/2” screws. If you install one above and below, it will be much much better from a physical attack from outside. One problem most will have, is the doors frame or jamb has a gap behind it. If you use a nice wide pry bar wrap it in masking tape or wide (Tall when vertical) metal butter knife wrapped again in masking tape or towel to prevent paint or drywall damage. Either way, you are trying to remove the trim or casing from that side of the door where latch and dead bolt are located. In construction terms, drywall stops short of the door jamb or frame (Same Part). But you will see a jack stud that goes close to the door case, but not touching it. This is the rough opening used to order a pre-hung door for example. This gap behind this device may pull in as you tighten the screws. Normally,,Zulu would take two shims sold in plastic or wood. Place the thick end into the opening where this device goes. Second shim is slid it thin side first to create an adjustable wedge to fill this gap, some gaps are thinner or wider. But fitting snug, close the door and check the gap to ensure it is even, top to bottom. If good, drill hoses smaller than screws and long screws between 3” - 3 1/2” or our longer, require a “TORX” bit like “T25”. These are brass colored mostly, but touch up with white oil paint from hobby store. Latex is fine and organized people keep marked in a cool storage space, but latex is water-based and after a few years, may show rust.
My true fix is plate steel that is the thickness of the gap. Buy & cut 4” longer from top lock down 4” below bottom door latch (Knob or Handle). Buy or cut the depth of the gap of the jamb or casing. Hold in place with wedge or flat screwdriver. Mark opening thru dead bolt hole, then knob latch, drill the four corners and use a jigsaw or coping saw fitted with metal blade. With door stop pried off and removed, drill hole within its width to hide 4 screws, stop once thru metal plate. Pre-drill smaller holes for 3 1/2” - 4” - 4 1/2” inch construction screws, then tighten. The dead bolt and latch (Tapered Part) creates the ultimate backing plate to latches that hold these from being kicked in. It takes work but creates genuine confidence a lot of noise and sore legs and give up & run away. The noise alone will give you time to wake up, take action while spouse dials 911, while your “Louisville Slugger” at hand. Food for thought. As a retired ASE Master Tech since 1978, I fabricate and design parts or products I use at my house, as it started with a metal door I installed in the back kitchen door. I rebuilt the sill below the door once out. I was shocked to see my 1980 house I bought in 1993 from the original owner. The sill plate was naked. I cut out and installed PT wood and water/ice shield heavy rubber sticky on one wide and created an angle for water to run out. Sealing each hole with butyl tape and around the brick molding before installing the door. My expensive screen door shocked me when it had bare wood in the back. I put two heavy coats of oil based sealer on back, then two coats of color exterior latex paint over thin spray paint coat. Just picky but who wants to do it again in 12 years? Not me!
One last thing to add is be careful how high you put these. Yes you want to keep your kids from getting away but you also don’t want to trap them in the house in the even of a fire. Keep them at a height your children can reach and also try to use it yourself with your eyes closed or in the dark so you know you will be able to do it in the event of a fire when your disoriented.
Well done just got myself one of these on amazon, think it's awesome that you've installed it high so you kids can't get out, I mite buy another so I can have high and low.
This looks sound compared to other locks. If you screw 3" screws into the studs, that is a lot better than other locks on the market that just fit inside the bolt hole which is generally a 1/2" piece of wood trim.
I guess it’s extremely popular now. The price has gone up to $15! Dang wish I got it when it was still $10, still good protection
now $20 I spend at home depot
14.00 on amazon.
$22 at Home Depot in US
Window film on the glass makes the glass much harder to break through,the film holds the broken glass together, just a thought.
Which window film do you recommend? Is it ok to diy installation ? Thx
@@Ozone81888 Any window film will work ok mate. I used a spare roll I had from tinting my van windows. I bought it from ebay and was quite reasonable in cost and easy to apply yourself. Its still on the windows now after putting it on it 10 years ago. Good luck mate!
That's Okish at best. It won't make your glass secure.
If you really want it to be strong, you need a multi layer laminated glass.
@@boastyyMy dad did that and it was strong. In the 90's I built a house with Low E glass. When it caught on fire, the firemen had a terrible time breaking the glass with their big hatchets,
@@Cerceify Sorry to hear about your fire, hope nobody was hurt!
Seems like a good product...I’ll try it 🤷🏾♀️
I have those in my house. Would recommend for extra defense, the magnet in it is really strong.
Thanks for this, I have been looking to add another lock to my basic front door deadbolt. I see Amazon Basics makes a 2 pack of these that is a bit cheaper, anyone know if they are essentially the same thing? As far as I can tell the Amazon brand just does not include 3 inch screws (which I have plenty of from building my deck).
Great product! I have them on all my doors.
Even wooden doors?
@@cooksze0322 Absolutely!
Maybe install it lower at the kick point?
Yes. Good point.
Salinaz unless your using it for your toddlers
Or buy two of them install them at even heights.
Or use one at the top and bottom.
I was thinking about this - if you put it where they are likely to hit, it will be stronger yes but eventually they may overcome it. If you install it in an unpredictable place like just above head level, they will not attack that point until they realize there's an extra obstruction there. Also it's harder to attack that higher point.
Just don't put it at a weak point like the corners of the door.
I never knew about these locks, I brought some, they're great
This is good if you are home. But what door lock/latch set is the best for entrance doors? My door got kicked in (frame and door were intact) and the latch bent backwards. My door knob lock set was the weak part of my door. Previously, I had replace all the hinge and other screws from the 1 inch to the 4 inch.
So, what is the strongest door knob set?
omg i need this for my curious toddler
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks. Never heard of this.
Thanks for sharing this info. I just used this procedure and it worked perfectly.
Many reviews of these locks say that the screws are junk and that you need to get different screws than the ones it comes with.
True. Even a deadbolt at Home Depot or Lowe’s those aren’t king enough. I watch a lot of security crime shows and they always say V that. Install longer screws.
Conveniently forgot to mention that you need to chisel away wood trim to install it, not just drill and screw
I suppose it depends on how much space there is between the frame and the door.
Hi there thx for this can you please let me know what shelving unit you used in that first room? Is it a custom build?
I have four bathrooms in my home I use 3 of them as panic rooms with hardware such as these and reinforced the door frame , I keep those cheap sentry safes in the cabinets with a charged power bank and cord for an old smartphone inside for emergencies
If I wanted in through his door I would just break the window in the door reach through and unlock both locks. Might be a better idea to swap out the door to one with no window if you wanted security. Just a thought.
A robber who inst familiar with these locks wouldn't think of that or no how to open it. Also it would waste too much time they would run.
Breaking the window will make a noise.
Brian Gross ok, so you’d unlock the locks but still can’t get in because of this device. 👏🏻
Brian Gross > Unless it's a professional burglar _(would most likely rob the place when no one was home)_ a burglar probably would *not* understand this locking mechanism. However, that window is a vulnerability. I would probably install these locking mechanism's high and/or low. That way it would be hard to get to them if someone broke the window to open the door. He could probably put it at the very top or bottom and that would work great. Then a person would have to really reach to access the lock and of course need to understand how it works.
Mike2014 the window is big enough to just go through it
Great if you're indoor, how do you use it when leaving your house?
Exactly! Finally found the comment that made sense.
Fit it on the outside ?
@@manofweed1 that'll teach em.
It’s for when you’re at home dimwit
They can just break the glass on the door and open everything by hand 😂. He should get a solid windowless door instead.
I have this product on my front door. I used this at the top of door to prevent my forgetful grandmother from leaving the house. I put at top of door where she could not reach it. Device can withstand 800 pounds of pressure. Better to put lower down on the door to prevent door from being kicked in.
Thank You. I just ordered 2.
Door frames are often very weak as most are constructed of not more than an inch of softwood. The key to that devices effectiveness is high quality screws that are extra long, 3 or more inches, that penetrate well into the wall studs. This increases its integrity dramatically, as well as deadbolt strike plates if you install similar length screws there too. Your security weakpoint now is the glass window in the door. Breaking it causes noise so that can be a deterrent but not often. To address the glass vulnerability there are some very effective security films/laminates. Just be sure to install them right up to the window edge or the whole pain will just break out around the exposed edges. A few upgrades go a very long way to deterring lazy useless goofs.
Can you suggest a good product for French doors with glass? My aunt just had those installed at the rear of her house and I'm concerned for her safety.
They can't kick that door in without breaking the glass. Genius!
Do they make ones for windows? I need these on my wooden windows that open outwards. The window frame is not as thick or wide as a door frame. Would these work on windoes
My door has trim on the outer side. The type that is slightly rounded about 2 inches wide; would this product work if not on a completely flat surface?
As soon as I saw this video I knew there would be people commenting on how you can get around it. There are always ways to get around anything but what you do is you make it more difficult for the criminals. Not all burglars would break the window and they might might not know how the lock works. (Or you could simply use it on the door without a window)if you were at home it would buy you time to get other “defensive” measures in place. $10 is cheap it certainly would slow down people andGreatly prevent kick attacks.
I completely agree. Not any one thing is going to stop everyone, and if someone is determined enough they will get around it. But if you have multiple layers and make it exponentially more difficult then your house will likely never be chose and/or they will give up.
McNallyOfficial beat this with plastic from a milk jug …
Great review sir. Have you seen a video the door being kicked in? I see you have glass on your door, so if the break the glass they can open all the locks.
i would recommend this as a backup lock.
For people who want a good lock
buy a smart lock or a known brand deadbolt and use this lock this guy is sharing us as a backup lock
What if the person has a milk jug?
Ahhhhhh, the comment I've been looking for
I don't like something that I know is easily openable.
Hi great video. If no one in the house, all family members are out, how to lock n unlock it if from the outside
This works, i tried to break into a house a couple years ago and it stopped me from going in through the door. Get an alarm system if you're paranoid.
Great. Does it work with the door that opens to the outside? I mean, you open it in contrast to the regular door
Wow that's awesome 😊👍. Great if you have little kids so they don't go for walks alone at 4 am.
Super; is there a lock system like this or in another style or form that can be used with a key from outside?
Hi awesome video thanku. I got question? Can I install this on a door thst has a broken strike plate. It will close but won't lock. Door frame is like 3 in thick. Door opens outward. I know odd. Lol
There should be an "ask a burglar" channel.
There are a few, not specifically called that.
There's also LockPickingLawyer , etc etc. They're not hard to find.
Wow not a bad idea
I'm my house, intruders will be met by my Cane Corso accompanied by my 9mm or shotgun :) but I guess this lock is still nice to have
holy fuck you own a gun!? wow! you sound so cool I bet you could beat up the hulk so you probably don't even need it. So gangster! fuck yes!
I don't see a point adding these comments obviously anyone watching is interested in finding new ways to help with home security I'm not sure your poor dog is willing to die to be part of your fool proof plan regardless of size I'd continue but I'm certain most people know where I'm going with this
As others have mentioned, great video! After watching your video, it was a snap to install! Thanks!
Great video..
Quick Question
I have a 1/1.5 inch gap between the door when leaving after I lock my door is this an inside lock only ? Any suggestions on the gap coming inside the door ? Ty
I wanna see a door kick test
Yea me too🤔
Exactly.
I have these and trust me they are rock f-ing solid. Even on French doors.
What about when you leave out,more concerned abiut when im not in home breakins🤔⁉️
@Semper Fi Are you stupid? We have weapons. Anyone who crosses my threshold uninvites will never leave alive.
home alarm system....
I recommend you put it down near the Center of the door because that is where the force is likely to impact the door from a kick or battering ram. Thanks
That lock is only good for the push-in door, what about the one for the pull-out door? What do you recommend for that kind of door?
Install it on the bottom of the door for even more strength
You typically want pressure locks like these where the foot would go when kicking. Some go up to 800 pounds of pressure which gives you more time because obviously you'll hear the added kicks. If you're looking for the bottom reinforcement, I forgot exactly what they're called (maybe nightlock?) That's something you slide into the floor in front of the door at night, and just slide out of the way in the morning.
I don't understand why people don't just read the comments section before they comment on the same thing someone else posted.
I'm actually diggin these locks. I wonder if they have a version that allows you to lock it when you leave the house.
Thank you for the review and I will look into these soon. Nice collection. I wish I collected cars like that but my kids would take them down and try to play with them. I still have a set I used to play with as a little boy. But that was like 5 years ago..... Hahaha. Kidding. I would play with those cars all day with my younger brother back in the days. Now it's all about tablets and TV. Trying to get outside. But Covid19 got us locked down.
Anyways thank you. And wish you and your family well.
Great idea but you have a glass window door,so breaking the glass so easy to come in and unlock the door or crawl through that window?
That ending, the ending is what did it for me. The honesty about the affiliate link, definitely getting this from your link, definitely subscribing and liking the video.
That's transparency is 🪙
Also, great product, thanks for the video
Glock 17 . Best door security.
You mean 1911 .45 acp
You both make a good argument - unfortunately I can’t conclude who’s arguement is better
It doesn't matter what kind of gun is in the house, if no one is there to use it or if the gun isn't there with the person at home, just my thoughts
You’re BAD ASS
Live by the gun, die by the gun.
Thankfully I've only ever seen doors being kicked in in movies, but I'm sure in some areas it would be a legitimate risk. Good to know this option is out there for additional security.
Trust me, it happens. I was a victim of a home invasion where that is EXACTLY what happened. Door was kicked in and gun was pointed at me before I knew what the "noise" was.
Look at UA-cam. Plenty of home security cameras showing thieves doing it.
Your average home door is actually very easy to kick in, and it happens a lot more often than you think.
Do you know if any good similar security devices for French doors
@furioustechnology is there version where you can control it by your phone or Bluetooth connect version of this. Any help be much appreciated thanks
That is pretty cool!
Though it is a danger that exists, I'm much more concerned of someone breaking into my door while I'm out than when I'm at home.
However, I do have some external doors that I pretty much never use to enter the house upon returning home, so these would be of perfect use on those.
My thoughts exactly, I don’t see anything for that or even doors that open the other way
Two year later and I’m responding to this….i agree How am I supposed to get in the other side of the door?
Thank you so much, my door is recessed and i can’t put a bolt on, a new door lock would cost over £100, this is a lifesaver
great product but is you live in Florida or Miami Dade county the hurricane codes down here make all doors to open out not in but this is great for up north home thanks
IMHO... It seems as if the 1/4” of door, this device clamps over, would simply splinter away should the door receive a sturdy jarring. It should’ve been designed to secure much more of the door. 1 or more inches.
I like to think about how to protect myself from intruders with locks and stuff but I also like to consider how to escape the house during a fire and this lock is hard to get open and thus bad in a fire situation.
That was immediately obvious to me. I learned about the fire hazard when I went to buy a vacation rental home on the water, and the egress from the upper unit was down a stairway to a door that opened INWARD. A whole bunch of people escaping a fire would have ended in disaster. Not to hard to reverse the action of the door, just takes $$$.
This is an amazing gadget. It won't stop your door from being kicked in but it will make it to where they have to kick in your door and then you would hear it vs them just picking your lock.
Simple but yet very useful product when needed. Thanks for sharing.
Just got this. I had an attempted break in by some junkie but my frame is already reinforced with steel strike plates all around. They never got in the first time. I’m hoping drilling holes in plates won’t weaken it for this. I may get door knob prop bar as well.
@Digby Dooright I can't find any kick test videos on those...do you think they can thwart the kicks or is it best to assume they'll just buy you a few extra seconds?
@Digby Dooright cool thanks...those would go great along side the moat & drawbridge Amazon recommends in a bundle purchase 😏
Got a very strong set of eyebrows, I trust it..
Hahaha....true
I just bought a pair of this great product because of your helpful advise, thanks
