Baby Products Reviews of Mommy's Helper Slide-Lok Bi-Fold Door Lock
Customer Review: Work really well.
Summary: 4 Stars
These are great. They work just like they say they will. We even have one door that is less than 3/4" thick and it still works OK on that one even though it isn't ideal.
The problem is that they are so expensive. I was hoping that based on the price there would at least be 2 slide-loks in each pack (since most closets with bi-fold doors have 2), but THERE IS ONLY ONE SLIDE LOCK PER PACKAGE. (I looked for this information everywhere, but there was no indication in the ads as to how many were in each pack.) This manufacturer is making a killing on these things!
All-in-all I would still buy more if I needed them. They do give me peace of mind that my little ones can't get into the closets, which is definitely worth a little expense. They also blend in well and since we have only had them a few days, I keep forgetting they are there until I can't open a closet, which is a good thing. I'll definitely be shopping around if/when I decide to buy more, to see if I can get a better price. I'll also probably sell mine on eBay when I'm done with them to make some of the money back.
Customer Review: Simple yet great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've shopped around in Wal-Mart,Home Depot, ToysRus, BabiesRus and Ace for the bi-fold door lock. All of these stores carry different kinds of locks which will satisfy my requirement but fail miserably on my most important criteria: Once the usage ends don't mar the door or the wall.
All of the other locks are either screw or glue type which when the need is over leave either ghastly holes or glue stains. I don't want to caulk or spend time/money fixing the after shock. All I need is a lock that will be useful for maybe 2 to 3 years and when my daughter gets older, I should be able to remove it easily but while being used, it has to be effective. This lock fits the bill precisely (including the price)!! I've been using it and am delighted. Thanks Amazon! I couldn't have found it any other way!
Customer Review: Works Great, Easy Install!
Summary: 5 Stars
This item works perfectly and was easy to install. I had one set of bi-fold doors that didn't have enough of a gap at the top for this to work properly so I left off the optional wand and put it on the bottom of the doors instead (carpet held it in place). I also turned it so the lip of it was inside the closet (so little hands have nothing to grab). I slide it with my toe and it works perfectly this way too. My son hasn't noticed it since it's clear and flush with the door. Not sure if he'll be able to figure it out once he sees it but so far so good.Customer Review: Good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
We have adventurous kitties who like to get into closets. We have five double-door closets in our house, and they love to get into all of them.
These items are easy to use. The only complaint I have is that the picture is very misleading. It shows a double-door closet needing only one (1) slide lock, which is not the way ours work. The spring mechanism for both sides on our closet doors are at the very end, so to lock both sides, we needed to purchase two (2) items for each closet door. You might want to change that very misleading photo.
Customer Review: Keeps the door shut, but also gets stuck
Summary: 4 Stars
We have these on metal bi-fold doors. We did have to lower the doors a little (by adjusting the screws) but this wasn't really a big deal. The rod that hangs down to move the door lock from side to side is fairly useless because, even on a door where this slides easily, the rod just bends when used. I've also had a problem with it getting stuck a few times when I forgot to move it aside before opening the door. Aside from the problems I've had though it does keep the door shut and is well out of reach of my son so I would still recommend this product.
