Description
This EverPlus door reinforcement latch is a heavy-duty childproofing solution for parents who want to prevent toddlers from opening inward-swinging doors while also adding an extra layer of home security.
With a spring-loaded sliding bar that withstands 800 lbs of force, it is 12 times stronger than a normal deadbolt and installs on the interior side of the door using included screws.
Operating the lock is simple: pinch both grooves, slide the bar straight, and swing it away; just be careful to avoid twisting, which can cause jamming over time.
The installation requires a drill and precise alignment, and it only works on inward-opening doors with a flat interior surface and a frame wider than 1 inch — so measure your door before buying.

[Verdict]
Skip this lock unless you specifically need a budget-friendly, childproofing latch for inward-swinging doors. Its strongest selling point is the 800-lb force rating and 5-year warranty at an $11.99 price, but the installation complexity and door-compatibility restrictions (inward-swing only, flat interior surface, minimum 1/8-inch gap) severely limit its practical use. This is for renters or parents seeking a temporary, non-permanent security add-on, not for anyone wanting a robust primary lock.
[Spec analysis]
From the spec sheet alone, the lock’s 800-lb force claim (12x stronger than a deadbolt) is impressive but unsupported by independent test data. The installation process requires power tools (electric drill, chisel) and precise alignment steps—this is not a simple screw-in product. The single-operating-handle design, which must be pinched and slid straight rather than twisted, risks jamming if misaligned. Compatibility is also narrow: it fits only inward-opening doors with a flat interior surface and a frame wider than 1 inch, excluding sliding, French, or outward-opening doors entirely.
[Honest drawback]
The biggest limitation is that the lock can only be used on inward-swinging doors with a flat interior—no outward-opening, French, or sliding doors allowed. The spring-loaded mechanism also requires straight motion to avoid jamming, which may frustrate users in a hurry or during an emergency.
[Price take]
At $11.99 (58% off $22.98), this is a fair deal for a heavy-duty childproof latch, but the discount is typical for basic security accessories in this price tier.
