Description
Curious kids try to explore everywhere, but the Safety 1st OutSmart Lever Handle Lock helps you keep them safer with the first ever decoy button. Your child will think the decoy button will let them open the door, but pushing it has no effect. You’ll know that the surface on the sides hides the actual secret to opening the door. The Lever Lock is a clever way to prevent your little explorer from accessing off-limit rooms. It installs easily and can be operated by an adult with a squeeze on the hidden buttons built into the hinge. The decoy button won’t do anything when pushed, but adults in the know can easily open the door. This is a 4 pack.

Q: Hello,
Do you really have to wait the 24 hours before use?

Q: How do you remove the lock? I’ve read details on site and no explanation of how to remove
submitted by Val S - 7 years ago
A: Do yall provide new sticker glue to be able to reuse handle
submitted byDonDre - 1 year ago
A: Hello! This is an adhesive-mounted lock, so to remove we recommend using dental floss or fishing line between the adhesive and the door in a sawing motion to cut adhesive away from the lock. Remaining adhesive residue can be rolled off the door with your fingers. If you wish you can briefly run a hair dryer on low heat over the lock to help soften the adhesive before removal.

Q: Does the adhesive work on a tile? I intend to use this to avoid my toddler turning on bath tub faucet handle.
submitted by Pradeep - 7 years ago
A: The Lever Lock is specifically designed for use with an interior door. We could not guarantee how the lock will work in a moist environment, like a bath tub, or that the size would fit a bath tub lever securely. We would not recommend using it with a bath tub lever.

submitted by Katy B - 9 years ago
A: Hello. We do not recommend using the Outsmart Lever Handle Lock on any exterior doors.

This is such a smart door lock. My almost 2 years old grandson hasn't figured out how to open this one yet. He did figure out (in under a month) how to open a very similar one.

If I had my way, I’d call this “keeps baby daddy’s away.” I bought it yesterday and didn’t remember to put the lever down before bed. As you can imagine, my boyfriend slept in his car because he couldn’t open the door. I’d definitely recommend it!
1 reply from DorelJuvenileSupport team - 4 months ago
Thank you for the laugh — this review is unforgettable. Poor boyfriend, exiled to the car because the lock did too good of a job. If nothing else, you’ve proven it’s effective. That said, we do want to mention one important thing: this lock isn’t intended for use on exterior doors. It’s designed for cabinets and interior spaces where you want to keep little hands out, not grown adults out in the driveway. And using on exterior doors can pose a safety hazard in the event of emergency situations. We’re glad it worked (maybe a little too well), and if you ever need help choosing the right childproofing gear or want to explore other lock styles, we’re here to help!

YEP! Sure does work!! Almost a little too well. Lol. Somehow the door got closed behind us when we went to put little to bed. Despite trying to take the door off the hinges, this thing was NOT budging on the door handle. We ended up needing to call someone to get us out. Effectiveness 10/10

Used with supervised adult watch (naptime or during the night(
Saved me from my curious todller who learned how to open doors and would go out to find me in the middle of the night. I still would not recommend to use it on both sides of the door just one only will do so.

Absolutely a must
I love this handles. They are really good. They stick pretty well. If you ever need to move locations. Take off the tape the glue from the back and just replace it and it works perfectly fine. I highly recommend it. It’s a toddler saver

DO NOT BUY! HUGE DESIGN FLAW!
Do not buy this, you will risk locking you or your kids in a room! The lock prevents the handle from opening on both sides, there is no warning about this on the box. You will have to break the door down to get it open. No idea how this product hasn’t been recalled.

Works, but would not recommend
The item works just as you would want it to. However it does make it easy to lock yourself in or out of a room. If this is on the other side of the door and activated, there is nothing you can do. We had to break into our bedroom when we were locked out of it, thankfully the baby wasn't in there! There are similar items that only block the doorknob pulling it downwards. I would recommend one of those so you can still go in and out of the room by lifting up on the lever.

10/10 Recommend! [Cats]
Though this item is marketed toward parents who want children out of certain rooms, this handle lock is incredibly helpful to us as cat parents! It's the perfect handle lock for cats who are able to get into certain rooms on their own with door handles such as the long, horizontal ones where the cats push down on the handle and open the door by themselves. The installation was super easy as all you had to do was take the adhesive off the back of the lock and then stick it onto the door where the handle falls inbetween the gap of the lock.

Bought to keep my cat out of our guest room since he can open the handle and it doesn't lock, it stops clever cats very well.

Not toddler proof
It took my 2 year old 3 days to figure out how to open his door with this lock on it. There’s too much room between the locks for the door handle to move, and it’s not adjustable.

This lock is not safe
Absolutely a safety hazard if your lever handles don’t rotate independently on each side. There’s no way to unlock the latch from the opposite side. You can reduce the risk by installing it inside a room, but that means it can’t be locked when the room is empty, and it’s still possible that a toddler could lock themselves in and not be able to get out.
