Would this work to keep a a long pantry door closed in the kitchen from a toddler?

If the toddler is on the same side of the door as the jammer, I would say no. Pops off easily for quick removal.

It might be too far away from the floor. My doors were about 2 inches from the floor and it was not long/tall enough to secure the door.

Yes, as long as the bottom of door is reasonably close to flush with the floor. There is about an inch or so of adjustment to play with.

Yes, it can if it fits into the door. In my need the door height was not suitable for this product so I had to return. But I would like to say if the door is normal, interior one with standard height ... it should work.

We are using it to hold one side of a double door closed on a wood floor. It holds well. I would expect it to be fine with a small child.

I would not recommend this product for that purpose. It works great for its intentional design, but it does not truly lock down from opening on the inside.

I doubt this would be good for keeping strangers out. It might be a BIT of a deterrent, but would probably be broken through easily if they really wanted to get in. It's much better for keeping your kids from opening doors they shouldn't. Hope this helps!

I used this on a main sliding patio door also. It works well for a two and three year old. It was stayed attached when it is inadvertently forgotten by the adults, but because it is affixed by adhesive, it's limits are unknown. It has added extra security with the toddlers, as they really like unlocking doors and opening them.

This device can be defeated by a 18 month old. That was my experience. It might work if the fit is perfect - whatever that is. But a good stiff pull will open my basement door secured with this. I think it is time for simple solution of a cord tied to eyelets on the door and frame with a simple shoe bow knot that can be untied from either side with a simple pull with the door opened an inch or two.

Yes, toddler will be able to close the door if he pulls on it. This door stop works great if you only want to keep a door open that closes on its own. It was exactly what I was looking for.

Personally I would not use it to keep a toddler in, its to easy to remove the velcro strip. Hope this helps.

No. This just blocks them from touching the stove. Safety First brand makes an oven lock that would help with that.

You could make it work. You'll need longer fasteners and there will be a 3.5" - 4" gap between between the ends, so I'd advise you forge something to bridge that. Maybe punch the bottom out of an appropriatly sized cookie-tin from the grocery store. This would likely be cheaper than any kit you could buy. The price alone is worth the door's 4 way lock.(4 ways: this way, that way, both ways, no ways.)

I don't think it will work in the kitchen. It is pretty gentle and great for a toddler's play area but too gentle for the heavy traffic, dirt and moisture of a kitchen.

I'm pretty sure they would. I used to have an in-law with dementia and used similar child-proof items on door handles which worked great - they just spun around. If she still lived with us I'm sure these stove protectors would work just as well. They also spin around loosely. They're easy to pop open but you have to know how to do it and the "hinge" part doesn't open but can be mistaken for the part that does. Which can be confusing even if you're not senile.

I was able to use it successfully on a corner lazy Susan cabinet. We had to make sure it was lined up correctly, and that was a bit challenging, but so far it has kept my little one out of it.

We use ours in a hallway / doorway so that we can block off our kitchen. Works great and really wish I would have bought more for other areas of our house. Our son is 22 months and very tall for his age. This gate is also tall and I never worry that he will get over / through it. Good Luck

We use it on the door knob side to keep fingers from getting smashed when my toddler tries to close/slam doors. One of the other answers was to put on the top of the door near the hinge side would probably work if you're concerned about pinching fingers on the hinge vs door knob side.

guess so I use it as a pantry door I had one in place for 12 years and I just had to replace it so I Guess it could work for a child's Room.

I bought this for that purpose for my kitchen in my apartment. It does keep a lot of the stove heat out of the rest of the house. It's made of a a fairly thick plastic. However, because its accordion style, it does have some openings at the top and bottom (more than a normal door). Either way, it will make a noticeable difference.

I guess it might depend on the door and the size of a child's fingers, but since the door doesn't shut totally the fingers don't get closed in. Personally that's never happened to my kids with the Door Monkey.
