Choosing the Best Safety Door Locks & Latches to Childproof Doors in Houston
Overview

Door stops
Ensuring each door is babyproof is an important step in making sure your little ones avoid injury and stay safe in your home. Door locks for kid safety keep children exactly where they’re supposed to be and help avoid accidents. When choosing the right baby door lock, it’s essential that it’s easy to open for you, but at the same time, difficult for your child to figure it out. There are many child door safety products to boost your home’s security. Latches and locks vary by different mechanisms for specific purposes. When you’re looking to kid proof your home, make sure you’re up-to-date on door safety.
Door Knob Child Safety Covers
Door knob child safety covers fit over a door’s current doorknob. This round door handle cover commonly consists of the knob only being able to turn if the cover is pressed down in a specific fashion. When you’re looking to child proof a door knob, these covers are easy to install and easy for adult hands to turn. However, they often look too attractive for curious children because of buttons they have, so it may be just a matter of time until your kid gets to it and learns how to open the door.
Baby Lever Door Handle Locks
If your home’s doors have handles instead of knobs, babyproof lever door handle locks are a child proofing option that keeps your infant from pulling the handle with their bodyweight to easily open a door. The door handle guard easily fits over a given handle and is secured commonly with adhesive tape, but screw options are available as well to affix the baby proof lever to the door handle.
Top Locks
A top lock is difficult for young children to reach, which makes this a great option for childproofing a home. These locks are installed with a simple screw set up at the very top of a given door and unlocked by pulling on a hanging latch. The door can also be unlocked from either side to prevent accidentally locking yourself in or out of a given room.
Door Monkey
A door monkey is the perfect solution to keeping doors ever so slightly open. This allows for air circulation between rooms and pet areas. A door monkey simply clamps on the edge of a door without the need of tape or hardware. Pushing a button or pulling the tail unlocks the door from either side.This type of childproofing product can be applied at any height on a door, so taller household members can easily maneuver the device.
Door Stoppers
Door stoppers are an essential and easy-to-attach addition that will protect your little one’s hands and fingers from getting caught in a door frame. A U-shaped pinch guard can be clipped around the door edge to prevent a door from closing completely. Other models are attached to hinges. Stoppers also prevent doors from being slammed, which makes this addition a door protector as a bonus.
Child Locks for Front and Exterior Doors
There are a number of child locks for front and other exterior doors to protect toddlers with the spirits of explorers. A newly-installed door chain lock around five feet from the ground is a cost-effective and easy-to-install approach, but may lead to smashed fingers. To keep a front door, screen door, or patio door closed, yet still allow for easy adult access, consider top locks, round door knob or lever handle locks. These approaches ensure adults can come and go, but keep children from wandering unsupervised.
Interior Door Latches
Interior door latches are a solution that keeps your infant or toddler from exploring parts of the house, like your unsupervised pantry or closet, yet still provide adults with a convenient way of accessing rooms. The same top locks, handle and knob covers will work for interior doors.
Additionally, to allow for air to circulate between rooms, but still keep the doors partially closed, consider products like a door monkey—a latch that works regardless of a handle type, installs in seconds by simple clipping to the the door edge, and even doubles as a pinch guard.
Sliding Door Child Locks
Sliding door locks come in many shapes and sizes. Commonly, these locks offer a simple application that causes no damage to the glass or wooden door itself, and pulling back the latch allows for the door to easily slide open. Other options range towards permanent installment through screwing the lock into a door frame. These locks can be applied at any height, which makes operating the lock simple for adults and impossible for the smaller members of your household.
A safe and secure solution to the number of choking hazard in the household. The little door stoppers behind the doors should be replaced with a solid rubber doorstop.
Very nice staff! Very efficient.
Very pleased with their products and their professional service. The retractable baby gates on our stairs and our "grandma" cabinet locks are perfect for visiting grand kids but not a hassle for everybody.
Great People and products. Thank you so much for creating a safe environment for kids at our home.
Rick and Evan are awesome. Thank you for helping us make our house safe!
Rick, your crew came into my house today to child proof it. The first thing they asked was do we need to take off our shoes, or are you ok with booty covers? WOW! No one has ever made shoes an issue. As a new mom I never thought about shoes on the floor, thank you for that information as well as all the other information you gave us in the home evaluation. The best thing is my home is child proofed, and I feel good about it. There were a few things I knew to take care of but my husband and I had no clue how to. You have helped us so much. At first I thought this was going to be too much money and we could not afford to have it all done. Well you proved me wrong on that, it was very affordable and well worth it. In fact I have two new friends with babies and I would like to purchase a gift card for them. How would I go about doing that? Thank you so much for everything!
Dear Rick,I am very pleased we met at the Moms Expo. You and your crew came into my house and did everything you said you would, and more. (Thank you for fixing that cabinet door, its been broke since we moved in). Your company standards are very high, and very professional. Now I know why everyone I talk to has used you. All I can say is thank you for making our home and pool safe. My husband is so happy that it was done by someone that knows what they are doing. I have given your name out many times and will continue to.
Thank you for making our home safe. It was great working with you and your company. Our installers are very professional and courteous, and even stopped and helped me carry in my groceries. I was referred to your company by a very picky friend of mine and I know if she used you, you must be the best. Thank you for all your help. I am sending my mother-in-law’s number to get her home done also.
Rick,Just thought I would drop a note here. When my wife called Precious Baby Protectors to see about an in home evaluation I was against this. My wife told me what she had done and I told her I can do it myself, do not even have them come. Well she had your company come out without me knowing, I was on a business trip for nine days. I guess she felt comfortable with the owner Rick and his staff. When I got back into town my house was child safe. At first I was upset, because I thought I could do it. Then I realized how great this was, its done and I don’t have to spend time trying to do this. There were so many things I never would have thought about that Precious Baby took care of. I am so impressed that I have referred your company to many of my friends. In fact we are all at the mall last Sunday and I was talking to another dad. I told him about your company and how I was so thrilled. He said “Chuck they are coming over on Monday; my sister used them 9 years ago.” All I could say was, Wow good for you! If you ever want to take your company national please look me up, I will be your first investor.
Description of Work: Installed 4 baby gates and baby fence to go across the living room and kitchen.Comments: They did a great job. They brought all of their own materials. They were quick on the installation. They did a very professional job and made it look great.
Rick and his team are extremely professional and knowledgeable. They evaluated my house, inside and out, and made recommendations to keep my 3 toddlers safe. They also told me what we did not need, so I felt they were most concerned with safety, and not just focused on selling me unnecessary things. They have proprietary products that you can't get anywhere else that are better, safer, and easier to use. I highly recommend them.
Precious baby did a great job installing our gates. They were punctual and explained the process. I like that they used a higher grade hardware to install the gates and made everything look clean and professionally installed in my brand new home. They made several suggestions that we didn't end up installing just yet but we plan to bring them back in for phase two. Thanks Precious Baby - these new gates are a game changer for all of these stairs.
Rick was responsive and a great communicator. He told me which of the stuff we had already done was correctly installed or with a modification could be used somewhere else. I appreciated those money saving tips. We have a three story townhouse so stairs we're my concern and their construction did cause for a creative solution which Rick made happen. Everything has been easy to use and we haven't had any issues since the install over one month ago. Appreciate everything he does and can't recommend him enough!
Rick and his install guy did a great job. They were very responsive and worked with me on the design of the fencing. It was just installed and looks and functions great! Would recommend.
Excellent experience. Service setup in less than a week and top notch. Well detailed invoice and great communication. Excellent binder with examples of work and options. Walked through how to secure each lock and explained the invoice in detail. Pleasure to work with.
Rick and Evan are awesome. Thank you for helping us make our house safe!
Very happy with the quality installation and service we received from Rick and his crew for our baby gates. Would recommend this company to anyone out there looking for baby gates that will last - all metal gates look great next to the wrought iron stairway.
Rick and his staff did a wonderful job making our home safe. They installed multiple gates and endless other safety equipment to make the house safe for our little one! Wonderful to work with and we highly recommend their company!
I just happened to see this reply by Inga and wanted to tell you about my 5 star experience. I truthfully don't believe this person. This company has done excellent work and all my friends and neighbors rave about them! This company is #1 in my book!We had our gates originally installed 5 years ago and this company has been nothing but wonderful. We had our whole house baby proofed, and a poolfence. Last year we took the gates down as our daughter was 5 1/2....little Joey came along unexpectedly and is now starting to walk....Rick and Robert were back last week to re-install my gates and they were wonderful. These guys are so honest, do excellent work and I would never trust anyone else to do our install. It bother me that people would have the nerve to lie!
We are extremely happy with the service and our child proof rails. The customer service was amazing, our house looks amazing. We had all the second floor done. We had open walls that you could look down to the first floor and our kids had been climbing to look over. Now with the rails, we have peace of mind and most important our kids are safe. The Second floor looks great because the rails go with the decor. Thank you again, Precious Baby Protectors !!
Rick and his crew are amazing! Highly recommended to all families babies, toddlers, and pets!! They also do pool safety nets and fences! You must protect your family, call them!
We were displaced by the storm. I sent in an email asking for help at our rental house. Rick called me and explained how they work. We made an appointment for the next day at 1. At 1 I get a knock on the door. (Thank god they did not ring the doorbell). Robert and Gage showed up as I was told. We went over everything that I wanted. They installed it all and went over every item with me. Great, peace of mind is here. Robert and I went over the invoice, they discounted everything due to us being displaced by the storm. We are so happy, and all of this will be moved into our home when we rebuild. So professional and went way above to help my family out. Great caring people 3/-0
So happy with their work and customer service!!! Would highly recommend them!! Not only do my baby gates look nice I also finally have peace of mind that my precious one will be safe!! Thank you!!!
Timely, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. Highly recommended. Thank you to Rick for all of your patience with our questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How to baby proof doors?
To baby proof doors properly, consider if you’re looking to hold a door closed, keep it open, or stop a baby from playing with a doorknob. Different door types need different baby proofing products. For example, a garage door, patio door, and front door may need similar door knob or lever handle locks, but a bedroom door may only need a door monkey or pinch guard. To decide on the most suited lock types and baby proof doors thoroughly, don’t hesitate to call in our expertly trained employees to assess your home’s needs.
How to baby proof French doors or double doors?
While beautiful, French doors and other double doors can be a safety hazard for little ones. The first step in baby proofing these specialty doors is to install tempered glass instead of regular, as tempered glass is five times stronger. Secondly, a top lock will keep doors from being easily opened by children. A baby fence with a gate around the doorway when the doors are open will keep children away from the door.
How to childproof pantry doors?
Normally, any lock for other doors works for pantry and closet doors. However, if your pantry or closet has a bi-fold double door style, there are specialty childproof locks for bi-fold doors.
How to baby proof a sliding door?
The first step to babyproofing a sliding door is to find the right lock for the job. Sliding door locks typically consist of a simple latch that, when lifted, allows for the door to slide open, but when down, keeps the door closed. If your sliding door is glass, make sure the glass is strong enough to keep from breaking easily, should an accident occur. When in doubt, call in our professionals to make sure your doors are properly secure.
