GlideLok Childproofing Door Locks
GlideLok is a durable metal top-of-door childproof latch that can be operated from either side of the door. With a removable spacer bar, the GlideLok fits most interior and exterior doors up to 1 13/16" wide. The GlideLok installs in less than 5 minutes.

It would be great to have a visual
Check out this video for more details about how it works: kzread.info/dash/bejne/no55urSldrTfl7Q.html
We have these in our apartments for all 3 bedrooms and the bathroom but all they have to do is shake the heck out of the door and it ends up coming unlocked
Hi there, we have taken this feedback seriously. And actually the updated version of the GlideLok (which will start to be sold over the next couple of months) has a notch so make it much harder to shake the lock loose!
Can you show how it is operated from both side of door as you indicated?
Hi there, at about the 0:39 mark in this installation video, it shows the GlideLok sliding across from both sides of the door. The GlideLok overhangs both sides of the door like a saddle, so you can reach it from either side and just slide across to lock/unlock. Also, here is a link to an Instagram video showing the lock being opened from the "other" side of the door (the screw and peg are on the outside and he is locking / unlocking from the inside): instagram.com/tv/Cq3RHedgccP/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Would this work for a front door that opens out instead of in? The hinges are inside the house.
Hi there, this should be fine. You will always install the GlideLok U-shaped piece and screw / peg on the side of the door that does NOT have the hinges. The GlideLok can still operate from both sides, because it overhangs both sides of the door like a saddle. So even if you have to install it on the outside of the house, you can still operate it from the inside. Hope that helps!
The rubber bumper part is perfect. I do feel like the peg should be maybe an inch longer. I feel like my child might kick the door so much it’ll wobble out of place, but hopefully the bumpers might help with that
You did not show how to😅
Take a look at our updated installation video here, which gives a better view of the GlideLok in action: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fqp5mtaPY93JiLw.html
Can I open it also from the outside? for example is my spouse is inside sleeping
Yes, an adult can open the GlideLok from BOTH sides of the door, because it overhangs both sides like a saddle.
Does it matter if the U shape is facing toward the door handle or toward the door hinges?
No, it does not matter and will function either way. What matters most is placing the U-shaped piece on the proper side (the side without the hinges).
@@glidelokchildproofingdoorlocks thank you very much
Can these be fitted to external UPVC doors?
Yes, they can. The biggest factor is the thickness of your doors. The GlideLok fits doors that are up to 1-3/8" inch thick. Or, if you remove the GlideLok spacer bar with a #1 drill bit, it will fit doors up to 1-13/16" thick.
Again- why aren’t we seeing this demonstrated??🙄
Hi there, we recently updated our installation video to include a better understanding of how the GlideLok works from both sides of the door. You can view the updated video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fqp5mtaPY93JiLw.html&
Yea why not demonstrate how it works HERE?!?!?🙄
Hi there, please see our updated installation video here for more visibility into how the GlideLok works from both sides of the door: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fqp5mtaPY93JiLw.html&
It's against fire code, same reason you can't install a bedroom door that requires a key to open from the inside. You won't get checked unless you have a building inspector come or you get in trouble with CPS.
Can be opened from both sides of the door, just gotta be tall enough to reach it. Not sure if that changes whether or not it passes fire code tho.
Omg just tell me how to secure it
I don't understand your sink!?!?
Nevermind,just figured it out. That's so awesome
Right ?
lol can you tell the rest of us?
If you look close you can see the cutouts so you can hide your sink and also have more counter space.
@@digitaldali ahh that's what I thought don't think I've ever seen one that is the actual countertop material with handles cut out. Usually it's some plastic or wooden thing that sits over it. fancy.
You’ve made of save us from a divorce
Simple and effective - installed a unit on two doors in under 10 minutes. Thanks
Thanks for sharing your experience, Dan! Glad the GlideLok worked out for you.
1:40 you're welcome
Worked perfectly to keep my cat out of the room since the doors I have don't actually function well, less than 2 mins to install, very happy with the product, easy instructions, will be buying a few more!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing your experience :)
Doesn’t work for entry doors that open to the interior.
Hi Joy, the GlideLok actually DOES work for most entry doors that open to the interior. The screw and sleeve would be installed on the outside of the door, but remember that the GlideLok can be accessed from BOTH sides so you can slide it across regardless of which side of the door you are on. One of the biggest benefits of the GlideLok is it can be accessed from both sides of the door by an adult.
I would but the shipping to nz would take a while cause of covid
What size pilot hole do you need?
Hi Jordan, we use 1/8” drill bit for the pilot hole.
@@glidelokchildproofingdoorlocks thanks!
Thank u!
Just bought me so my grandma w dementia don’t fall down basement stairs, she only 4 foot something so I doubt she’ll reach or figure it out. Lol.
@@MyRockstar777 I'm trying to figure out how to keep my dog out of my kitchen with double doors
What can you use if your child uses a chair to reach it? Hmmm?
Hi there, if your child is big enough to move a chair over to the door and reach the GlideLok while standing on the chair, then they are probably not the right age range for the GlideLok. I had the GlideLok installed in my personal home and they worked wonderfully for my 4 year old. Good luck finding the best lock for your family! - Jessica
Can you show how it works on the door?
Hi Annie, this video should help: kzread.info/dash/bejne/doiIza-KoqWsf5s.html
One more video for you: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mI14pshxns6wpco.html Starting around 2:26, we show the GlideLok on both interior and exterior doors.
