Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zelco Lock Up Door Lock

Customer Review: really good so far
Summary: 5 Stars

The black casing and the red handle are plastic, but the actual bar that you line up in the door frame is metal. So it seems sturdy so far. It's got these gears that hook when you move the handle, which keep the whole structure in place. It's *really* easy to use, and has the same effect as lining up something heavy to block the door right near the doorknob. It installs between the door and the door frame, right where the door knob catch lines up. You do have to put it in place and remove it every time you want to use it - it doesn't automatically attach to the door frame or anything. You can use it whether or not you have a deadbolt.

The only two issues I have with it are:

- I didn't see any information about which way it goes into the doorframe when I bought this, so I took a chance. It'll work correctly from your side of the door if you have to pull the door towards you in order to open it. If you have to push the door to open it, this lock won't work for you, because the installation needs to happen on the other side.

- Another thing to watch out for is the structure of your door frame, where the door handle or additional locks are, etc.. If you have an oddly shaped door frame (like it's really rounded, or heavily decorated or something), or a large door handle, you might have some difficulty getting this to work - the parts may not line up correctly, or the lock may not have anything to settle against. It works really well so far on standard door frames.

I say try it out anyway - chances are, you have a door where you can use it, and so far it's worked well.
