> 3 dayIve ordered these 3 times, one for each of my kids bedrooms. These give me such peace of mind that my little ones wont get into anything. And it keeps the monters away when they go to bed at night. A win-win!

> 3 dayIt does its job but one of them was clearly returned and full of finger prints and paint or something that won’t wipe off while the other one is clear without markings. Additionally, it only came with one extension stick. Unfortunately I am short and can’t reach the second one when I’m at home alone. I’m thinking we got a new one and a returned one.

> 3 dayI wish wed thought to search for these sooner!! Weve had a folding door to our basement since we moved to our current home, and it has been a constant battle with our cats to keep them from going down there. Weve had a heck of a time blocking the basement from our crawlspace, so the cats would constantly come back upstairs with crickets, spiderwebs, and they could hide there if they didnt feel like getting attention (made it rough taking them to the vet if they got sick). We had to have a stool planted in front of the door for several years to solve the issue. Now, we have a toddler who can MOVE the stool. Uh-oh. Enter this doodad. It is very simple but a perfect solution. No more blocking the way and making it a pain to go in and out -- this can very easily just slide over across the top of the door to allow us quick access from both sides. It is tight enough to prevent the door from opening widely enough that a cat could slip through. Only one side has the hanging attachment, which is something to be wary of. We have an immediate stair dropoff on one side, so thats where we put it, but I can still barely reach and use it on the side without modification (Im 53).

> 3 dayThe piece that comes with the Bifold lock for thinner doors does not snap in place. It is to small (or I should say it is the same size as the base piece) therfore can not snap Because of the price, I gorrilla glued it to the outside of the piece and that worked. I tried using it with out the extra piece, but by wiggling the door continuously my cats were able to move the piece over and open the door. If it wouldnt have been for that one flaw this is a good product

> 3 dayThis was very confusing when I received 2 (instead of one) products AND included pieces that were not shown in item pics so I was baffled how they are used. Some instructions would have been nice....at least a picture showing what was included and generally how they are used. Worked well enough though...

> 3 dayThis is well designed although you may find difficulties related to how your doors are situated. My doors go to the ceiling so the wand was not nearly long enough. The solution to this is to take the product to your nearest hardware store (Lowes) and go to the dowel section. Test fit the 1/4 dowels of your desired length (for me that was 36). When you get home, cut a piece of duct tape 1/2 wide by 4. Put the dowel through the hole for the wand. Wrap the tape around the end of the dowel. This should serve you well. You may also find there isnt enough room at the top of your door for the product to slide or close properly. There isnt much you can do about that unless you can adjust your doors down vertically.

Greater than one weekWe moved into a new house and I was storing the dog food in a closet with bi-fold doors. One of our dogs, who will remain anonymous, figured out how to bump the doors open, pull out the dog food container, open the container, and enjoy. These work great! Simple design. Easy to install on the doors. Easy to move back and forth to lock/unlock. Hardest part is remembering to lock when leaving!

> 3 dayWe got these to close off guest room closet doors with bi-fold doors, for our visit from our grandsons, aged 2 and 4. These door locks come 2 in a package, and are comprised of a clear plastic u-shaped piece that slips over the top of the doors. You slip it over one side of the bi-fold door when the door is opened, and then close the doors, and slide the plastic piece to the center of the doors. Beware! You have to remember that you put these on! I have tried to open the doors myself when they were locked, and they will not open, and they tend to jam closed. Just remember to reach up and slide the device to the side before you try to open your doors. They are clear plastic, so they are attractive and unobtrusive. They come with an extra piece of plastic, if your doors are very thin, but our doors were not thin, so we didnt use the extra piece. They also come with a handle, if you cant reach to the top of your doors, but I am 5 7 and am tall enough to reach the top of our doors, so we didnt use the handle, either. These are simple, easy to use, and very effective. They look exactly like the photo on Amazon. Just remember you have them when you want something in a locked closet!
