Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Deter curious children from entering rooms or closets that might contain a danger. The Door Knob Cover will simply spin loosely around the door knob when a child tries to turn it. But by squeezing the two grab-tab buttons, the door knob turns easily. The oversized grip design makes it hard for youngsters to get their hands around the knob, yet is easy for adults to grip and squeeze to open the door. Lock cover tab protects against accidental lock-outs by covering the door knob lock. Un-snap the cover tab to access the lock.

Product Description

Mommy's Helper Door Knob Covers What a great idea! Your little ones can reach the door knobs and are closer to turning them open everyday. The same idea that protects your babies from opening those pill bottles is used for the Mommy's Helper Door Knob Covers. The over-sized grip design spins loosely around the door knob when a child tries to turn it, yet is easy for adults to grip and squeeze to open the door. In addition, the Lock-Guard feature covers the door handle locking button to protect against accidental lock-outs.

Depending on the type of doorknob you have, these may be useless. If you have a round, architectural style knob, they're fine. If you have a much more common Kwikset type knob, they're much too difficult for even parents, or kids old enough to use the door properly. If you have the need to put these on a door that will require a key or lock with a turnbutton, think again; they are very deep and you can't get your fingers in the hole on most handsets

Well, we should have known these wouldn't work. We had similar ones before and they kept my teens in and my toddler could get out. We had just moved and the old ones were lost so I bought these for something fast and cheap. Well, they are exactly like the others. One is fairly easy for the family to open (5 out of 10 times) but one refuses to open for them. They twist and turn and you just can not get it to open. I can normally open all of them and even I had problems at least 2/10 times when I try to open a door. Now for the one they are supposed to be for....my 22 month old. He can not grasp them to open them like adults, but he CAN and DOES easily disassemble them and take them off. He does it every time and then looks at us, smiles and opens the door. These are a complete waste. Pay the extra money and get the Kidco Door Lock Knobs.

I'm trying every door knob cover I can find to keep my 2 year old from running a little too free. I thought these would do the trick, since the problem I have with the Safety First ones are that he puts his little fingers in through the lock hole and pops them off. I was wrong. No one in my house can open the door with these on! We have standard sized door knobs throughout the house, but these covers won't grip the knob. As hard as I squeezed on the tabs, the little amount of rubber inside never caught the knob.

It's such a pity because they seemed to be fairly sturdy and I loved the idea of the lock hole being covered. Better luck next time!
