Okay, let me just say these little plastic lifesavers have been AMAZING for my chaotic household. I've got a toddler who thinks he's Spider-Man and two cats with serious Houdini tendencies.
The airplane wing design is genius - super easy for adults to use but impossible for tiny hands (or paws) to figure out. I installed them on all our sliding doors and windows within an hour. The adhesive is crazy strong - like 'might take paint off if you remove it' strong - so definitely measure twice before sticking!
Pro tip: Install them higher than you think you need to. My 2-year-old hasn't been able to reach them at all, but I can easily operate them without bending down. The clear color blends perfectly with our windows too.
The only downside? My husband keeps forgetting they're there and yanks the doors open too hard. We've gone through three replacements already (oops). But at this price point, I don't even mind buying extras.
For pet owners - these are magic! My cat used to slide open closet doors and redecorate with my clothes nightly. Not anymore! She sits there glaring at the lock like it personally offended her ancestors.
Seriously, if you have kids or curious pets, just buy these. They're cheaper than replacing broken vases or cleaning up shredded wardrobe casualties!
