Quick answer
Yes, door knob covers work when installed correctly. They prevent toddlers from opening doors without tools.
How they work
Door knob covers are designed to make it difficult for small hands to grip and turn the knob. They snap tightly around the existing door knob, requiring no tools or removal of the knob itself.
What they don't do
They are not a lock. A determined or older child may eventually figure out how to bypass them. They also don't prevent doors from being pulled open if the knob is not the primary barrier.
Verdicts
- Claim: Door knob covers are 100% toddler-proof: Verdict: Mostly true for typical toddlers. They work well for children under 3 who haven't learned to twist and pull simultaneously. However, no product is completely foolproof for every child. Test the cover yourself after installation to ensure it's snug and doesn't rotate freely.
- Claim: Installation is difficult: Verdict: False. KidCo Door Knob Covers snap on without tools, so you can install them in under a minute.
- Claim: They damage the door or knob: Verdict: False. There's no need to remove the door knob, and the cover is designed to fit securely without scratching or marring the surface. Remove and clean the cover occasionally to prevent buildup of dirt or grime.
