Nope, that thing isn't going any where. I've yet to figure out how we'll remove it when we move.

Ours has been on our fridge for almost 1 year now. I have several times yanked on the door forgetting it was there and it is still stuck as strong as the first day I put it on! It has survived parties from adults yanking on the door not realizing it is there as well. I think you actually have to pry it off of the door when you are ready to remove it.

Not in my experience....if you went to prying on the sealing surface with a screwdriver, you could work it off but not by pulling on the refrigerator door. You would knock everything off the door shelves and may even cause some damage to the door trying to yank it open. If the pad mating surface of the refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly before the pads are attached, they will attached with a very strong bond. The adhesive used on these pads is not like double sided tape, the material is much thinner and much stronger. Again, for this lock to work properly the mating surfaces MUST be clean. Hope this helps. Not in my experience....if you went to prying on the sealing surface with a screwdriver, you could work it off but not by pulling on the refrigerator door.

Only if they try really hard. It's really on there. I'm a full adult, pretty strong.

Yes, there is a lock on the upper right corner of the bottom drawer. However, it would depend on how strong the child was, I think. I don't lock mine at home, but the entire cabinet is fairly lightweight, so a very strong pull or beating on it might open it. My three- year- old granddaughter has never even bothered it because it is in another room I don't use that much.

If your home has a network set up.Ex ADT security. You can use smart phone or internet to lock and or unlock the door.

Technically you can but I wouldn't advise it only because it is so heavy. We have a few times forgotten something and needed to get in the back, but it takes at least 2 adults to lift and hold up the door while accessing the back.

It is true that anyone can open from inside by just turning the handle. We have 2 locks for our little one.

No, just twist the lock. You only have to enter the code if its locked and you want to open it. I hope that answers your questions and I'm sure you'll love this lock, its awesome to not have to carry keys with you. Also, since its mechanical, you wont have to deal with the problems that I've had with the battery operated units. They're problematic and this one is trouble free!

Yes, very easily. When its engaged in door slightly open position, there is about 1-4 inches of play, so kids can't open and can't crush fingers. An adult can reach up, tap the device so that it swings on hinge and disengages. Then when the adult swings the door in what would be a closing motion, the unit re-engages. You can disengage easily with one hand, allowing you to carry something in the other.

They cannot lock anyone out as long as owner or someone with keys is around they can open the door from the outside with thd key or by entering the correct unlock sequence. This lock prevents exactly what you are afraid of in regular mechanical only locks.Teach your visitors not to get creative into trying dummy lock patterns such as 123456, and hope that the owner was that lazy.

There are levers on each side of the door. One side has the privacy locking pushbutton, which you place on the bedroom/bathroom side of the door. The other side has no button, but does have a hole that an adult can use to unlock the pushbutton to enter a locked room.

I fully would recommend, I mean, unless they have serious tools to break a lock; but, if that's the case, if they want to break in that bad, probably can. Folks break expensive bike locks, if they have the tools & desire to do so; but this is a very sturdy lock. It is not a "kiddy" lock; its the best I've found & is still going strong for us.

No it would not work for this purpose, the "lock" releases when a strong magnet placed against the specific area of the cabinet door, which a teenage would probably figure out after seeing you open the door. National Cabinet Lock C8060-14A-KA Cam Lock, would be a better solution.

With this lock it you must manually turn the key to lock it, so there would be virtually no way you can get locked in. Even if you accidently locked it without the pin engaging in the lock, it cannot be pulled shut locking you in because the latch would lock so that the pin cannot engage...if that makes sense to you. The final answer is an emphatic NO.

Yes, but it's more like a child's lock. You can use pretty much anything to break into it, way too easily.

It probably could. We use it on our fridge, and it is possible for guests just to pop it. The adhesive has held up. Our toddler figured it out within the week, but it does slow him down. My mother uses a claw shaped baby lock on both handles of her lazy susan to keep the kids out.

I haven't tried to break into it, but it feels VERY secure. It is a solid metal piece of hardware. Even if someone were to pry if off of the house I doubt they could open it. Hope this helps.

Yes. If they have the code, they can open the door unless you have another lock on the inside.

I have these gate openers, 2 of them, I dont think a person can "pull" them open, but they may open if someone would "pry" them with some sort of pry bar.
