Nightlock Security Lock Door Barricade Brushed Nickel by Nightlock

I bought this a while ago but have only recently fitted it. Works a treat and makes the missus feel more secure in the house.

Would highly recommend this product

The night lock seems very strong, easy to install, and it definitely gives me a higher sense of security. Easy to install but we did need a powerful drill to get through our tile flooring

I was very concerned that this would not install securely on my backyard French door. One size fits all usually means it's going to be a problem. I was very pleasantly surprised when I placed it against my door and realized that it is engineered to install snugly against anything that could be considered a door. The included hardware is more than secure enough for any purpose. This is meant to stop a bash and enter break in. Longer screws or gluing the plate to the floor are adding nothing to the security. There is no way that the supplied screws are going to be ripped out before the intruder gives up or you hear the tremendous noise of someone trying to get past this thing. The supplied hardware is excellent. Installation is very easy. The design makes it very hard to install incorrectly. You just snug it up to the door, use an ice pick to mark the center of the center hole. Drill the 3/16" pilot hole into the mark. Screw in the center screw. Double check the alignment (it is not very fussy), then screw in the left and right screws. It is very difficult to do it wrong. A drill, an ice pick to mark the first hole, a 3/16" drill bit, vacuum cleaner (handy to remove wood dust), and an impact driver for driving the screws are all that I used. You could certainly screw this in by hand after drilling the pilot hole as well, but it is very convenient to have an impact driver to speed things up. That's it. I ordered a second one for the front door. When not in use it is inconspicuous. Guests are not likely to see much of interest. And when in use it's bedtime. Fantastic! Much better than I expected given the one size fits all designs.

Our sunroom, in back of the house, is the obvious target for The Big Break-in. The room has a medium-strength french door (two doors together, with no brace or wall between them), and its appearance seems to invite a bad guy to break it down. So we got a NightLock. The device installed easily. We used the screws that came with it, and the installation was easy, with our 3/4-inch hardwood floor. When we attempt to open the door from outside, there is a little slack at first. Then the door encounters an immovable object at its bottom (the NightLock). I ain't gonna be able to kick this door in. Even if I break the doors' glass, now what? It's strong glass, and I am not going to be able to penetrate before the owner has time to read America's Second Amendment to me. Our peace of mind has gone way up. I like that we can slide the slide with our foot, and we never have to bend over. The slide never comes out of the base, because we inserted a tiny stopping screw most of the way down into the 3/4" hardwood floor, forming an almost invisible stopper on each side. (Works great.)

Very easy to install Very sturdy

Good and strong but pricey for what you get.
