This cover is constructed very well and definitely serves its purpose. So far, no problems with it. Looks nice and keeps people from tampering with the thermostat. I would recommend.

I bought this to keep people from turning the heat up. I thought it was working well until I noticed it was getting warmer! I checked the thermostat and to my suprise it was turned UP!! I asked around and found out that someone had simply "popped off" the lid! The lid is NOT fastened to the back part of the box! It comes apart in two pieces and the person popped off the cover at the top where it's not fastened together! I am not happy at all! I did not buy this from amazon but wanted to warn everyone! I paid $19 for this piece of junk and am taking it back to the store where I bought it! My advice is to look for one that is one whole piece-- so the lid does not come off from the back!

IT'S A PIECE OF JUNK... unless you're using it to guard against children since they're not strong enough to pop off the top!

The Thermostat-Guard is exactly what i needed to keep people from reaching up & adjusting the air temp during our classes.

This product works as described, however if you apply a small amount of force you can open the case from the top without the key. For most people just having the case over the thermostat will serve as a deterrent but for the more determined something more secure will be needed.

Worked perfectly for my needs and I would buy it again.

Got a bunch of these for our church where we were constantly reprogramming the thermostats because so many people had access. No more!! These pretty much solved the problem. Didn't notice the problem where the top can be pried off - tried it on a few, and it wouldn't work - perhaps the design has been changed to fix this problem.

The product description on Amazon clearly says that this thermostat guard is 12 inches by 11 inches.

The guard I received is much smaller - 9.75 inches by 7.25 inches.

It appears to be the correct product, as it has Honeywell part number CG512A on the package.

Too small for what I need, so it is going back.

The product description needs to be corrected.

I purchased this guard for a Lorex security monitor, to prevent anyone from removing the card or tampering with the settings. It fits the monitor perfectly. HOWEVER, the seller from whom I purchased the unit (ACE outlet), sent me a unit that was so scratched that I couldn't use it and the package was so dirty, you couldn't read some of it. Upon reporting this to the seller, they sent me another one that was in the exact same condition. At this point, I am being ignored by the seller. So, if you can find this product from a different seller, it could be a great product. It has vent slits all around to prevent overheating of the unit you are protecting but then has a tamper-proof shelf right inside the vent slits to prevent anyone from changing the settings by sticking something through the slits. It comes with two keys and the hardware to hang it.
