Description

Curious kids try to explore everywhere, but the Safety 1st OutSmart Lever Handle Lock helps you keep them safer with the first ever decoy button. Your child will think the decoy button will let them open the door, but pushing it has no effect. You’ll know that the surface on the sides hides the actual secret to opening the door. The Lever Lock is a clever way to prevent your little explorer from accessing off-limit rooms. It installs easily and can be operated by an adult with a squeeze on the hidden buttons built into the hinge. The decoy button won’t do anything when pushed, but adults in the know can easily open the door. In side by side comparisons with leading competitors using real life toddlers, the Safety 1st OutSmart Lever Handle Lock was strong enough to keep even the cleverest of toddlers out. Even in lab testing using state of the art mechanical pull force equipment, Safety 1st outperformed the competition.

STOP READING THE BAD REVIEWS!!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
DO NOT READ ANY OTHER REVIEWS!! GET THE FACTS HERE!! Before I comment on the pros and cons of this device please understand that 90%+ of the 1-2 star reviews reference a MAJOR DESIGN FLAW of the device that is potentially very dangerous. This is not true and 100% user error! DO NOT let those comments prevent you from purchasing this product. Their basic gripe is that in the "unlocked" position a child can push the lever up into the lock position and lock the door. Meaning if you enter the pantry and your little one closes the door and pushes the handle up, you are now locked in the pantry with no way to get out. #1 - The device clearly states that you must push the lever ALL THE WAY DOWN when in the unlocked position. When the lever is all the way down, it clicks in place can only be moved by pressing the side buttons. HOWEVER, if do not push it all the way down until it locks, it will not lock and yes a child can push it up into handle locking position. I don't consider this a design flaw. This is complete user error. Now of course, you have to be the judge of weather you feel you can handle the responsibility of ensuring the lever is completely locked. #2 - There are users saying they had to kick their door down or kick holes in their door to escape once they were locked in (and posting pictures to prove it) This thing is strong. Don't get me wrong. It is stuck on there pretty good using the 3M tape. Certainly enough so that a toddler will not be able to pull it off the wall. However, I imagine it should be fairly easy to forcefully turn the handle in order to either break the device or snap it off the door. I mean I can't imagine giving this thing a downward kick with your heel and it not breaking from the door. The lesson is this, If you can kick a hole in your hollow-core door, you have enough force to use the handle to pop this thing off the wall. And if you are the one kicking down your door, you need to sit down and seriously re-evaluate your decision making abilities. So with that out of the way... Pros: This thing is so much better than other locks which require you to drill holes in your wall or door. And if they don't require that, they make it so that someone cannot enter from the other side of the door when the lock is in use. My wife and I use this on our front door. It is great because the outside handle of our door is a thumb push to open and the inside uses a lever push. This means that even when this child lock is in position (locked or unlocked) someone can still enter from the outside. PERFECTION! Also, it is incredibly ease to use and not frustrating. It is solidly built and doesn't rattle like some other devices we've tried. My 2 year old is a strong one who gets into all kind of mischief and after 4 months, he is yet to figure this thing out or make a dent. We have gatherings at out house regularly and every parent who has come over asks about the lock and is amazed at how well it works and looks on the door. A few bought some themselves. Cons: It only comes in one color. Our door was white so this was not a problem for us, but I imagine if you have a dark colored door you would want something like black or stainless looking. Ok, ok, I will be FAIR. As much as I dogged the parents complaining about a major design flaw. It would be a safety improvement to require the side buttons to be pressed at ALL positions when locking. This way there would be zero chance of being locked in. Again, this is not an issue for me, but I am sure the makers are kicking themselves for that one issue. Bottom Line: For $9 this is the best you can get. Works great. If you can remember to push the lever all the way down, you will have zero issues and you won't have to damage your door or wall. Buy it. ... show more

Simple install
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
This has been a really practical addition to our childproofing setup. We installed the Safety 1st OutSmart Door Lock on a couple of interior doors, and it’s been effective at keeping my toddler from getting into rooms they shouldn’t be in while still being easy enough for adults to use quickly. What I like most is the “hidden” locking mechanism. Unlike traditional baby locks that are obvious or require awkward sliding pieces on the outside, this one is tucked away so it’s not immediately visible or tempting for little hands. Once you get used to how it works, it’s very intuitive for adults. Installation was straightforward with basic tools, and it feels secure once mounted. It doesn’t feel flimsy or like it will pop off with repeated use, which is something I’ve had issues with in cheaper childproofing products. The only minor downside is that it can take a day or two to build the muscle memory for opening it smoothly, especially if you’re juggling bags, a toddler, or laundry. But once you adjust, it becomes second nature. Overall, a smart, low-profile childproofing solution that actually blends into the home better than most traditional safety locks while still doing its job well. ... show more

Great for escape artist dogs
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I don’t have any children but I have a smart little (big) goober who apparently decides himself when it is time for an unsupervised surprise off-leash walks while I’m at work & my fiancé uses the bathroom for 5 minutes. I will say it’s really nice for not only keeping my friggin dog indoors, but also having that extra lock at night. I also think this is a great “child proof” device for any type of knob that turns the way these do, any shape or size works with this product. I’ve seen comments about how I’m gonna have the time of my life uninstalling it, but I haven’t made it there yet, honestly I’m glad it’s stubborn with coming off because my boy is 86lbs of strong boy, & the last thing I need is him busting it off. So I recommend this! ... show more

An easy to install, helpful tool, even for fake protection! Though removal is a little tough
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I actually bought this item not as a childproof lock, but as a "fake" door lock, and it worked perfectly! To clarify, I went on a long-term vacation and had a pet sitter (who I hadn't worked with before) visiting my place every other day to take care of my pets, and I wanted a deterrent to put on my bedroom door (lots of valuables in my closet and I didn't want to think about it) on the off chance that this person was shady in any way. This was a great option that didn't involve actual locking, but at least gave off the image that the room was not accessible. The fact that it has a decoy "button" that doesn't work is a plus so it can be at least a little confusing even for adults. **IMPORTANT NOTES: Do NOT leave the lock even slightly engaged (in the locked position) if you are on the other side of the door (AKA the opposite side/room of where the lock is placed). You'd be putting yourself at risk for accidentally locking yourself in a room (because the door handle will not be able to turn all the way on the way out, effectively making the door nearly impossible to open), and if you live alone and happen to lock yourself in without your phone and in a room without windows... you're kind of screwed unless someone comes to find you lol. It's something I realized as I was going in and out of the door this was installed on, so PLEASE take care not to do that. The biggest caveat here is that removal is a little bit of a pain, and because of it, the lock isn't necessarily reusable without some kind of reapplication of adhesive. Because the adhesive is so strong (which is what makes this lock appealing in the first place), you have to heat up the bottom of the lock with a hair dryer and then use either a butter knife (so you don't scratch your door; anything sharper would be risky) or a long, strong piece of dental floss to pull it off the door. I was able to get it off without issue (no damage or significant residue), but it did take a decent amount of effort and muscle to get it off, probably 15-20 mins altogether. All in all, the locking mechanism is really great and does its job perfectly, but be aware that removal will not be extremely easy. ... show more

Perfect for keeping my 5 y/o boy with autism in or out!!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
We have a 5 y/o boy with autism for whom bed time is a big struggle. No matter what we do we just can't get him to stay put once we put him to bed. Recently we moved into a house with this kind of door knob so the round childproof ones we used in our other house wouldn't work. This was the perfect solution! I applied it on the outside of my sons door and we lock it when we need to, only until he falls asleep. This kid is like the Hulk in terms of his strength and he has not been able to open it even when putting his full weight into it! HOORAY! He quickly gave up trying and fell asleep on the floor. Once he learns he can't get out we probably won't even need it anymore. My only complaint was that it was nearly impossible to peel the backing off to stick it on. I had to use a pin and tweezers to pry it off. This is a solid plastic lock that works exactly as advertised and doesn't look like a giant eyesore like some child proofing devices. I'm a huge fan! Highly recommend this product. Hope this helps! I did NOT receive this for free or at a discount. ... show more

Yes you can remove it without damaging your door and paint
Size: 4 Pack
Parents of toddlers know that 2 and 3 year old try every knob in the house, as if the greatest pirate treasure lies just beyond the door that mommy has forbade them from entering. The first type of child proof lock is the kind where 2 halves snap onto the knob. I hated it. While it was effective at keeping my kiddos from turning the lock, thereby opening the door, I found it a hassle using just my thumb and middle finger to turn the door knob, oh and if mommy's fingers have even some oil on it, be it lotion or Oil D'Bamba, the knob is an even bigger hassle to turn until both my digits and the knob are squeaky clean. So I started looking for alternatives. I knew that I didn't want anything that requires a drill and screws, so the only other option was adhesive based child proof locks, which all required that I change the door locks in my home to lever style privacy locks. I liked the look the feel of Schlage Accent levers, so for the rooms that are off limits to my kiddos, I installed Schlage Accent lever privacy locks and then I paired them with this Safety First Outsmart Lock. First the Schlage, followed by the Outsmart Lock, easy peasy, or so I thought. But something didn't look right. I realized that I had installed the Schlage lever upside down, which meant that the Outsmart was incorrectly aligned, so the first thing I did was reversing the Schlage, so that the lever is in the correct position. This is done while the Outsmart is still on the door. Even though the Outsmart was misaligned, there was still enough clearance to reverse the Schlage. Once done, I got to work removing the Outsmart. Oh. My. Goodness. This thing is stuck on my door solid, which makes sense, because it needed to be strong enough to withstand the push and pulls of tantruming and determined toddlers. I knew if I pried it off I'd have a patch and paint door job on my hands, so I got out my hairdryer and got to work. No the floss and fish line don't work. I tried that on something else previously and it was time consuming, messy, and hurt my fingers. I used the smoothing nozzle (the one that focuses the heat, not the diffuser) with my Conair. I was careful to start my hairdryer at the lowest setting, because I didn't want to risk discoloring my door paint. I kept my hairdryer close to the Outsmart, but kept the hairdryer moving, making sure that I distribute the heat evenly, I want to say it took about 3 minutes or so at the lowest setting before the Outsmart heated enough to where I could move it - SLOWLY. Turning my hairdryer off, I rocked and pried the Outsmart left to right SLOWLY and then Voila! It came off completely with zero damage to the door/paint. I think the key here is not to rip the Outsmart off like a Band-Aid. After the Outsmart came off, I repositioned it onto my Schlage while the adhesive was still warm and it stick on to the door as it was meant to, much to my toddlers' frustration, ha! And now the rooms that are meant to be off limits to the kiddos have thus far stayed off limits...Until they figure out how to outsmart the Outsmart, lol. And that may be another review for another day. ... show more

Excellent safety locks IF you have the right style of lever
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
First, a warning: If you have levers that are synchronized (as in, you turn the inside lever and the outside one turns as well) I really would not recommend getting this particular kind of lock. Other reviewers have mentioned that you can force the lock closed without using the buttons. Mine, when unlocked all the way, snap into place and don't move without pushing the buttons. If they're only partially unlocked you can easily just lift the piece that locks them. There is a very faint yellow mark that, when visible, indicates that the lock is fully open, but this may be a newer feature. That being said, if you have levers that function independently (you can turn either one and the other stays in place) then these are a parent's kid-proofing dream come true. I have 7 of these locks in use in my house right now (4 on bedrooms, 2 on bathrooms and one on the door to the basement). Thus far they have successfully foiled the mess-making schemes of my 3-year-old twins and my 4-year-old for about 3 months, which is longer than any other baby/toddler proofing item has managed. The twins generally figure out latches and locks in about a week and then they're useless. My older boys (6, 12 and 14) have no problems using the locks. The 4-year-old knows how to unlock them, but he's lacking both the finger strength needed to push both buttons at the same time and the coordination to do that while moving the locking part down, so it won't be long before he manages to use them (which is fine, we got them to keep the twins out of trouble). The decoy button is a brilliant feature, as well. I've caught the twins trying to use it to get doors to unlock on several occasions. They poke at it a few times, pull on the locking part, frown in frustration and then wander off to more interesting things. My only complaint would be that these do not also come in a darker color. Our levers are all oil rubbed bronze, and the doors are a darker wood, so the stark white of the locks stands out quite a bit and makes them very noticeable. I have not yet tried to remove one, and it will likely be a year or so before I do, but (if I remember) I'll post an update about the removal process. ... show more
