Do these prevent the child from accessing the lock button on the door knob?

There is a round hole in the middle of the plastic twist lock-which is direct open access to the lock button on the door knob on my standard door knobs..

No. Passage locks do not have a lock on them, privacy knobs are the ones with a lock and dummy knobs are the ones that do not even turn. The ones with the lock are sku# F40VSIE619.

thanks for asking. ours have a turn lock on the inside (like found on a bedroom or bathroom knob) on the out side there is a small hold and they include a "key" like thing that looks like the "key" that use to be on top of a can of spam. (if you are old enough to remember those) it is in the shape of a capital T. So while it is not officially unlocked from the outside should our two year old accidentally lock himself in the bathroom I have placed the "T-Key" on the top of the door casing/framing so it is always there. hope this helps. They have performed outstanding for us. thanks for asking. ours have a turn lock on the inside (like found on a bedroom or bathroom knob) on the out side there is a small hold and they include a "key" like thing that looks like the "key" that use to be on top of a can of spam.

The action required may be difficult for someone with sever hand arthritis but for a young toddler it would be difficult. My 34 month old granddaughter has not figured it out, although she does not try any more because the plastic knobs now symbolize "do not enter". I suggest that a preschooler, let's say 4 yo, could easily remove the knob cover, because by that age, they have the hand strength, coordination, and hand-size required.

No. Someone could kick this lock open pretty easily. We use them on inside doors for child-proofing purposes i.e., locking door to basement so our toddler can't pull the door open and fall down the stairs.

It doesn't come with a lock of any kind, but there are spots for padlocks on the latches. If you provide your own locks, it would be very secure. Also, the latches are pretty "child safe" alone, because they're fairly tough to open, for a child.

I don't believe so. When we have multiple windows open in the house it causes some of our doors to slam shut and these prevent that. I'm pretty sure most toddlers could probably still shut the door but I'm not 100% sure of that.

No, the locks are connected to the handles. They have not created a problem being on there. When you are not using the pot, it is a help to lock them when the pot is not being used.

They are recessed in a little bit, but that offers a bit more protection from accidentally pressing them. I had no problems using the buttons with the case on the Ipod.

Yes, the inside latch has a locking mechanism. It's a kind of slider. If it's in the up position, the door is unlocked. If it's pulled down to the bottom position, it's locked. It's been way too long since I've been around any 2-year-olds, though, so I can't say whether it's beyond their cleverness. But they'd have to be able to read the top of the inside latch - are they that tall at that age?

Update. They do have a twist lock. A small key is included to stick in the hole of one side of knob in case the door is accidentally locked and nobody is in the room. I would reccommend to keep the key above the door trim.

It locks and you cannot get into easily if you have done that. Just keep the key up from the kids.

I prefer the key, I thought about the combination lock but didn't think that it was secure enough from a child playing with the lock and getting lucky. A curious child will eventually figure out the combination. At least with a key I know that as long as it's on me I've got the way in....provided the child/person doesn't have a screwdriver and hammer.

No. But you can buy a child proof latch to lock the lid. But really this feature should have been there.

It doesn't lock in place, and a determined toddler could probably wiggle their hand in there to mess with the knobs, but honestly both my girls have just ignored it and the knobs completely when it is on. And my little one is one of those highly curious / loves to take things apart/climb everything kind of girl. I'm shocked at how quickly she is back messing with the knobs if I remove this to clean it.

Yes, the locks will keep adults out too. My huband installed the locks and, as other reviewers stated, they can be a pain to install. Very important to remember: KEEP TRACK OF THE MAGNETIC KEY!!! Or, buy an extra one. We found out that our key did work even though it was melted a little (was left on top of hot stove for a few minutes).All-in-all, I believe these locks were well worth the money.
