Childproof a Door in 5 Seconds

No tools, no instructions, no waiting for your partner to find the drill. Slide Doortect onto the top or side of the door, close it, and you’re done. It’s that easy.

And getting through yourself is just as quick: slide the release with one hand from outside the door, and you’re in. No fiddly codes, no fumbling when you’re carrying a laundry basket.

Toddlers Can’t Reach It. Adults Open It From Both Sides in a Second.

Doorknob covers are famous for the same problem: the toddler works out the squeeze-and-twist trick within weeks, while the adults fight with it every time they need the bathroom.

Doortect sits high on the door, above little hands and out of their sight. When the door closes, the latch catches the frame automatically, and the door stays shut until an adult releases it.
  • Auto-latching: locks itself every time the door closes, so you never have to remember.
  • Adjustable height: place it anywhere on the door, from mid-height to right at the top.
  • Opens from both sides: push the latch on one side or slide the release on the other, so nobody gets locked in or out.
  • Off switch: flip it to let the door work normally when the kids aren’t around.

Works on Lever Handles, Where Most Child Locks Fail

A toddler can open a lever handle just by hanging on it. Knob covers don’t fit levers, and adhesive lever locks peel off after a few weeks.

Doortect never touches the handle, so it works the same on round knobs, levers, and unusual or oversized handles.

No Drilling, No Sticky Residue, No Damaged Paint

Top-of-door locks and flip latches mean screwing into your frame. Adhesive locks take paint with them when they come off.

Doortect slides on and lifts off without leaving a mark. It’s ideal for renters who want their deposit back and for anyone who’d rather not leave holes in their home.

Move It to Any Door, Any Time

Bathroom this month, laundry room next month, stairs the month after. Doortect goes wherever your toddler’s curiosity goes.
 Take it on holiday, to the Airbnb, or to Grandma’s for the weekend. One lock follows your child everywhere.

Set the Height So Big Kids Can Get Through and Little Ones Can’t

Most child locks block everyone. Set Doortect at a height your six-year-old can reach but your toddler can’t, so older siblings keep their independence and the little one stays safe.

One Lock for Kids, Pets and Every Stage of Family Life

Baby gates and knob covers end up in the loft once your child turns three. 

Doortect keeps working: keeping the dog out of the bin, giving older kids a bit of privacy, or helping families whose elderly parent wanders at night.

Please do NOT buy from third-party sellers

Copies of Doortect-style door locks are appearing on marketplaces like Amazon and eBay. They may look similar, but they don’t have our auto-latching spring mechanism or our soft-grip, no-damage fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which doors does it fit?

Standard interior doors. It isn’t designed for exterior, garage or sliding doors.

Can my toddler really not open it?

When it’s mounted high, Doortect is out of a young child’s reach and out of sight. As with any safety product, place it high enough that your child can’t reach it from furniture

Will it damage my door or frame?

No. There’s no drilling, adhesive or screws. It slides on and comes off without a mark.

Can I still close the door fully?

Yes. The door closes normally, and Doortect latches onto the frame automatically.

What if I need to get through quickly?

Adults can release it in a second from either side, and you can switch it off completely when you don’t need it.

Does it work for pets too?

Yes. Lots of customers use it to stop dogs opening lever handles or to keep pets out of certain rooms.

How many do I need?

Most families start with the bathroom, laundry room and stairs. That’s why our 3-pack is the most popular choice.
