Mommy's Helper Slide-Lok Bi-Fold Door Lock, 4 Count

So, I got this product because of my cats rather than a child (currently pregnant so I am sure it will still be in use in the future!). It works perfectly to keep my cats out of the closets I do not want them in such as a pantry and my linens closet. It fits perfectly too on average size accordion doors, however if you have thicker than normal doors, I don't believe it will fit. It is perfect for 1 1/3-inch widths, it does not scratch the paint and is fairly easy to move on that measurement, for anything thicker you would want to look into an alternative like this. The slides come with this little plastic stick you are supposed to use to move it, however it is very flimsy and easier just to move the slide itself (I am 5'8 so I find this option easiest as I can reach it and place it exactly where I want it to be). If you are on the shorter side, it is still moveable by the stick, but the stick doesn't go down far for obvious reasons so be aware of that. Another great thing about this product is that even if a child, or in my case a cat, pulls at the door relentlessly and even shakes it the slide does not move. It stays in place under a lot of stress; however, it is plastic so keep in mind it is not indestructible. Overall, I think this is a great product for the price of it and has made keep my cats out of trouble very easy!

Bought these for my closet and pantry in the kitchen since my little one tries to open them. I never knew these existed and I'm so glad I've found them. They work exactly as described. Easy install. Love the little rod to help slide it since I'm on the shorter side. My 15 month old cannot open doors with these on no matter how hard he pulls. Highly recommend this to parents of little ones.

Easy to use and they work!

These little things really work! You just open the door and pop them on and your done! They slide easily over the hinge part of the door and slide out of the way when you need in. They come with a little shim that has two different sizes if your doors are not thick enough to hold the slide in place. They look a little flimsy but they do the trick. They only thing I didn't like about them was the little plastic handle they give you to pull it back and forth. It hangs down through a lip on the bottom edge of the slide and it is very cheap and flimsy. I wouldn't recommend using this part if you can reach the slide with your hand for fear it would snap. It keeps the doors almost completely closed but they do move a little and little fingers could still be pinched in the hinge part of the door if they are leaning on it when the doors close tight again. My 8 year old is too short still to reach the slide so he uses a plastic toy bat to move the slide and it doesn't leave marks on the doors. Also, if you are looking for a way to keep animals out of the closet you can install it on the bottom of the doors and just use your foot slide it back and forth. Very simple design, easy to use and very effective at keeping pets and babies out.

This fits well, works well, and slides well. Overall, very pleased! The plastic stick is a little flimsy, so we might reinforce it with some tape. Other than that, 5 stars!! Cheap solution to the problem of my cat being able to get my folding door open. 😏

These work so well! Perfect for bi fold doors

Overall, it does what it was purchased for and it keeps my cat out of our laundry room. However, I must have got unlucky because mine did not come with the rod to move it easily so now I have to stand on my tip toes and slide it back and forth manually. It doesn't effect the functionality, just a major inconvenience.

So yes, these are marketed for babies. But if your cat is breaking into your closet. Buy these. Finally no cats in my clothes and trying to open the doors at night. So easy to install and use. Just buy them.

We have three bifold doors, two cats, and one problem. I bought one of these to lock the pantry door, because the cats try to get in there all the time to get to their food. It works great! Doesn't mark or damage the doors, very easy to install and use, fits perfectly, and is unobtrusive. Well, the little fuzzballs immediately abandoned the pantry door for the two doors to the main closet, so I bought two more of these the next day. We'll see what they pick next, but for now, problem solved at a very reasonable price.

This is one of the most important safety features you should have in your home if you have babies. It installs in a second, it's the easiest thing to use. most importantly will prevent you child from a devastating injury.Honestly put them on every single bi-fold door you have in your home.

Bought this to be able to lock internal bi-fold doors to stop a kitten from destroying the house at night and it works a treat! Very strong. Would say it is well worth purchasing if you need to lock these kind of doors. Would definitely purchase again.

Our bathroom door slides and our puppy just burst into it to open it. The slide-lok has been very handy in keeping him out even when he runs towards the door, so it is very sturdy. Definitely recommend it if you have a very persistent and sneaky dog.

Helps keep the bifold yard door from opening up when I’m hanging out my laundry (it gets windy, and the lock on the yard door is faulty) We live in a high rise with 2 cats and this stops them from inadvertently entering the yard when the windows are wide open. Has given me much peace of mind.
