Review on πŸšͺ Childproof Door Lock & Pinch Guard by DOOR MONKEY - For Door Knobs & Lever Handles - Easy Installation - No Tools or Tape Needed - Baby Safety Lock for Kids - Portable & Effective for Pets by Michael Patilla

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Expensive but fairly effective

These door monkeys are the kind of product where you don't realize how much you need them until you don't have them. Yes they seem overpriced for what they are and yes they tend to break down at some point. But if you have garden gremlins, curtain crawlers, carpet rats running around the house, wreaking havoc in your master bedroom when you're not looking, unpacking all the TCs in the bathroom, and tossing remotes down the toilet, then you're here. realize that not having something like these door monkeys is not an option. A word of advice, if yours has broken in the same way a few of us have where the spring that helps it hold the door in place has stopped working, there is an easy and inexpensive fix. : Search the Home Depot website for "3 m 3/4 in. x 22 ft. Temflex Rubber Splicing Tape" (these are also available at the store), cut a piece, stretch, and simply wrap one of the ends until it is snug against your door to prolong the life of your door monkey (see photos) The tape is only $2.50, a roll lasts forever and can be used for many other purposes, so that's it handy to have at home our door monkey broke 6 months ago and my build is still holding up.
