hey guys it's Kevin here and if you've
had any problems with your kids
regarding the child locks that they make
nowadays and safety features that are
supposed to work and keep our kids in
the houses but they don't work in this
videos for you and hopefully you can
grab something from it here we go hey
guys got a short but important video for
child safety and door locks this one is
not only just for children on the autism
spectrum like our son Jaden is 11 but
for typical kids and for kids all over
the world
I think this trick works if you're
struggling with the traditional door
handle child safety locks over time our
kids figure them out with the films or
they break them or whatever happens and
we had not much success over the years
Jaden would always break them and figure
it out and because he had autism he
always wanted to take off and run
outside and just be outside and we were
just getting sick of these little
plastic door handles so I'm not a handy
guy but I thought about a first second
I'm like what can we do and I came up
with idea and I kind of Jimmy rigged it
for our main doors years ago and has
worked out perfectly after a while he
just gave up like I can't get out and
that was it and after talking with some
parents I'm realizing in the autism
community a lot of people are struggling
with their kids trying to get out some
of them are runners which means they
just able to figure out that door and go
so this is an idea I have if it can help
you guys at all whether you have a
special-needs child or even just a
typical kid if you can take from it
fantastic so this is what we do I'm on
again I'm going to show you I'm not
super handy but instead of a traditional
like plastic door handles where you have
to push a button
Jane would even just eventually crack
the thing in half once he got a little
older so what we did is
again my quick little example went to
Home Depot this is a two piece unit but
it comes together screws their screws
there comes with a key and as you can
see this turns so boom pop that on you
can turn it if you want lock it that's
totally up to you we never had to do
that and this is why I'll show you so at
an angle we just have it closed we don't
have it turned or anything that to this
angle
unlike the door first boom that's as
much as it will open and I'm pulling as
hard as I can so as you can see powerful
and not destructive
okay can I break this thing and that's
why I went with this so over time after
so many kid locks we went through I'm
like let's try this babe so my wife I
said okay let's do it so we've tried it
um and it did wonders so you're
struggling with your kids at all with
any kind of door locks go high go with
something very durable and powerful like
this and you don't have to get obviously
what I did but what I would recommend is
there's something very similar at the
Home Depot and it's called the door
guardian and there's lots of things like
it but I'm promote with the door
guardian cuz I've actually seen some
people who use it much more presentable
and clean looking than what I have but
same concept so J doesn't even we don't
even need these anymore I just haven't
taken them down for just in case I guess
I don't know but they've done wonders I
hope they do great for you and your
house if you need them so thank you so
