Grandpa has a hard time with the door knob covers and the baby gates, and he lives in the basement with us. We needed a way to keep the toddlers on the main floor while still allowing his freedom of movement. This seems to be doing the trick. I've installed this on an exterior door and Grandpa's door. Both husband and I can undo it from the opposite side since the strap allows it to open for cats. It wasn't hard to install and seems to work just fine with initial toddler handling. The final test will be Grandpa, and I will update when that happens.21 October 2024 - it passed the Grandpa test. I've now bought five total. These things are sturdy enough to hold when an adult forgets the strap is in place and opens the door full throttle. It keeps the littles out but allows for our cats to move about. These are magnificent.

I ordered ten of these and installed them about a year ago (I originally posted this as five because it was for 5 doors, but I bought 2 per door). Since then, every single one has failed. They fall right off, often taking paint with them. They can also only be used from one side of a door, so you need two per door if you need them to lock from either side, and that only works if you don't have people on both sides of the door because they can only be disengaged from the side of the door they're on.. I've replaced all of them with Door Monkeys which are half the cost (if you factor in needing two per door to use the Door Buddy), don't damage paint, and work from either side of the door. I've included a picture of a failed Door Buddy (complete with paint damage) and the Door Monkey I used to replace it.Also, after seeing my review, the company contacted me to offer me "paint protectors" so I could remove the Door Buddies and reapply them. They insisted this would make them stronger, so they absolutely know that they don't stick as is AND that they damage paint; they just don't care. I chose a refund instead, but they were only willing to refund one of the 10 I bought as a "courtesy." An $18ish refund doesn't really cut it when I'm actually out close to $180, damaged paint, AND the cost of buying a better product to replace them. Plus, this is a safety product, and the company seems well aware the product does not stick and is therefore unsafe.

It keeps the dogs out of rooms I allow the cat in. But my only complaint is that after having these on the door for a while the adhesive gives in. If you accidentally push the door open without releasing it, it just pops off. If They could send some extra adhesive strips for replacements that would be helpful

This very simple product does a magnificent job of allowing our cat to get in and out of all the rooms in our house that she needs access to, while keeping our 2-1/2 year old OUT of those same rooms.We have the Door Buddy on doors to:- our home office (with a cat bed next to the desk - one of our cat's favorite spots, where she can always find some peace & quiet),- bedroom doors- the food pantry, and- most importantly, the bathroom where we keep the litter box.It's easy to set up and extremely easy to use, and the length of the strap is pretty much perfect.There are two minor things about the design that can be mildly frustrating at times:1. The plastic slider thing that lets you adjust the length of the strap can sometimes get in the way if you want to close a door all the way. We can always get it to close properly, but sometime we need to just use both hands to clear the door, with one hand carefully keeping the door buddy strap out of the doorframe. I do wish I could always just close the door with one hand, but it's not a huge hassle. Certainly worth dealing with, all told.2. Our toddler is VERY strong, and he has at times been able to push the door open wider than we had originally set the strap for, at which point he can slide his body halfway into the door. His head definitely doesn't fit through the door, even when the strap is at its maximum length, but ideally, I would prefer the strap not be able to slip AT ALL.So I feel like there might still be a tiny tweak available, to improve the design a TINY bit more.By and large, I'm a huge fan of these straps.Very strongly recommend!

We originally got these for our cat so he could go in and out of rooms and we could keep the dog out. It works great. Then we had a baby and got more for baby proofing and it works great for that as well.The adhesive does rip the paint or the door though when you take them off.

Very simple to use. The strap is adjustable so I made one work to keep the dog out of the cat’s space and another to keep the cats out of my son’s room when he was home for the holidays. I bought two more so that I can keep doors open a little to help the heat circulate better.

We recently transitioned our son to a toddler bed and put this on the door. We’re renting so we didn’t want any locks that had to be drilled into the door/wall. It does the trick perfectly and very easy to install.

Better alternative to a baby gate. My daughter is autistic and she kept unlocking the baby gate and going upstairs or trying front door so needed to protect her safety and this is brilliant. Strong easy to install and does the job.

Working excellent to stop our dogs getting into room with cat litter. We have large dogs so can set the gap for the cat to get through but stop the dogs.Easy to install and then unlatch when want to open the door.

Installed and was ripped off the door by my toddler within seconds. Only fixes to door by adhesive that’s not very strong
