Safety first lever handle lock installation

Also, I kept forgetting this product was on the door and when I tried to close the door the plastic came close to breaking on numerous occasions.

Needless to say, I decided to return this product to Amazon for a refund. I first saw this item at Target and then read some reviews about it on Amazon while standing in the store in the baby section. The Prograde is designed to work with most door lever handles.

It took some trial and error and a couple of weeks of looking, but in the end it was worth it to find a safety lock that is dependable. This product has worked really well with a toddler who likes to try to get into rooms, such as the bathroom and pantry, that are off limits.
