EverPlus Childproof Home Security Door Reinforcement Lock

 I bought four of these to use on doors leading outside or to the basement, garage, etc to keep the little ones from going anywhere they shouldn’t. They were so simple to install and they work great! Our house was built in the 40’s and the doors and frames are a little strange sometimes but, thanks to the different screw lengths they included, I was able to install them all without issues. I feel so much more confident about stopping the kids from going out when they shouldn’t and from an intruder getting in. This definitely gives us an extra line of defense and hopefully the time we’d need to defend ourselves if ever someone were attempting to break in. Great product! Easy installation! Super sturdy! Love them!!

My son was unlocking the deadbolts so we installed these. They are wonderful. Already strong with just 1 screw before adding the remaining 2. Sleek and easy to close and open. I’m really pleased with them. My husband only had to use a handheld non electric screwdriver to screw into the frame. No parts screw into the door itself. Very pleased!

Works great, easy to install-just a few minutes, and gave us the privacy we wanted. A very small amount of oil when needed. Has worked flawlessly since purchase. Absolutely buy again, if needed.

This is perfect for our doors. It’s easy to open, low profile, easy to install

Yes, I’m impressed. Very impressed. After seeing so many kluge designs, this was like a breath of fresh air. I began by ordering the two-pack, not knowing if these were junk or not. Well, they aren’t junk. Actually, these nifty devices are terrific. They are relatively discreet and actually look nice. They are an effective, yet simple design that is easy to install. And I feel a heck of a lot safer now after installing them. Just note that no lock is burglar-proof, but these locks (along with reinforcing the frame, strike plates and hinges) will give one time to react. And if you are lucky enough to live in a free state, it will give one time to get your weapon of choice. After using two of these, I quickly ordered another two-pack kit. I’ve installed one on my front door, one on the outside side garage door, one on the garage door leading into the house, and then one on my bedroom door. My rear door is a French Door, so I’ll have to go with something else.

The only caveat I can see are the supplied screws. They look to be #8 x 1-7/8” long. I highly recommend you do NOT use these, because they don’t look to be strong and are way too short. It’s okay to use one of these supplied screws (even the shorter screw) in the alignment slot. But once you are properly aligned and know you can easily flip the latch to lock and flip it to unlock, go out and buy #9 or #10 screws at least 3” long (I used #10 x 3” long torx-head).

I also think that on the front door, it wouldn’t hurt to use two of these locks (one above and one below your dead-bolt). Matter-of-fact, I’ve just order another lock to do just that. My front door is such that I think one swift kick would have shattered the 3/4” soft wood frame. That is the reason I reinforced every swing-in door and frame.

Besides the supplied screws, is there anything else I don’t like? Not really, but I wish I knew what type of alloy and tempered aluminum these were made out of (like 6061-T6 or whatever). I also am not sure how good their spring is (I’ve read that a couple of people have had trouble with the spring breaking). I’ll just have to wait and see how these springs stand the test of time, but they do have a 5-year warranty, so I should be good.

The fact is, these locks were thoughtfully, yet simply designed, look nice, and I rate them highly. They also seem very strong (don’t know about their 800 lb. force claim, but I don’t really doubt it). Also notice that 90% of over 130 reviews rated this lock 4 or 5 stars, which is quite amazing. Therefore, I will easily give these a 9 out of 10, or a 5-star rating.
