Safety 1st Prograde Front Loader Washer/Dryer Lock

I really like these latches. You do need to ensure that the mounting surface is very clean before attaching them or the tape will come un-stuck. When the tape came off after 3 years (3 years!) I removed the residue and old tape, and was able to use high quality double-sided foam tape to re-attach. It seems just as secure now as it did before.

The product seems to be well made... BUT IT WON'T EVEN STICK ON MY WASHING MACHINE DOOR.. will return it.. cause it's useless for me..

The item appears used? Had scuff marks on it, the sticker must have been replaced, as it had a new one on it. But it was not functional for me

I have a two and three year old who are very adventurous and in previous homes the washer and dryer were in places they could not get them. Now that we have a laundry room on the main level, I was constantly finding them messing around with the washer and dryer - so I bought these locks. They're very easy to install and they stay on well. The one on the dryer fell off (my husband keeps forgetting to open the lock before opening the door) but we stuck it right back on and it stayed.

I am so happy with this dryer lock. It has a good, solid stick and was well worth the money. Now my little 2 year old doesn't play with the dryer door anymore. Thst in itself is money well spent.Just remember to clean the surface well prior to sticking and practice where you will put it so you do not have to readjust it.

** Updated review:Dropping to 2 stars. The lock itself is great but the tape that attaches the lock to the dryer failed after 1 month of use, likely due to vibrations from the dryer. I'll likely still keep the lock and try to find some better double-sided tape.Original review:Great lock for our dryer. Extremely easy to install and has worked well thus far - our curious 2 year old twins have not been able to break in :-)Yes, it is a pain to open (you need to use both hands) but that's the point of the device - that's the small price you pay for not ending up with a dead child in the dryer.

I bought this when we first got our front-loading washer to reduce my wife's fears about our precocious 3 year old and his older brother "playing" in the laundry room.The problem with this device is that the only method of installing it on the washer (or dryer) is the adhesive backing. This worked great for about a month, but then it just fell off because the adhesive had worn off.If you are concerned about your kids getting into a front load washer, I recommend buying a washer model that has a door lock button/feature. There is of course some chance that a kid could figure out how to unlock the door, but not much more so than the chance that they could figure out how to open this device, or just aggressively pull on the door until the adhesive gives out. The other option would be to put a lock on your laundry room door. Definitely more effective, and possibly cheaper.

This product works as advertised. It is fantastic and gives us piece of mind. Highly recommend.
