Some knob covers require the adult to squeeze two buttons simultaneously to operate the door, which can only be accomplished with bigger hands. Other models allow you to turn the knob only by sticking your thumb and index fingers through holes in the cover, but making it impossible for children with short fingers to open the door. Doors with lever-style handles are the easiest for toddlers and children to open.
By simply grabbing the handle and pulling down, a child can easily get out of the house. Specially designed covers are available which fit onto the door handle. They attach to the door with either adhesive strips or can be installed with screws driven into the door itself.
There are also devices available to secure sliding glass doors. Sliding door flip locks are a simple solution that sticks to the glass using an adhesive strip. When the arm of the flip lock is up, it blocks the door from being opened.
Then, simply flip the arm down to allow the door to slide open. We recommend installing this type of device 10 to 15 inches above the latch on the sliding door.
This will prevent children from being able to open the door by climbing up or reaching up and unlocking the device. You will want to restrict access to areas and rooms that have safety hazards or which cannot be entirely baby proofed, such as the bathroom, basement, utility closet or pantry.
A top lock can be a great solution for almost all types of interior doors. Unlike knob or handle covers, this device is installed directly on the door and door frame and it locks and unlocks from both sides of the door. The top lock device can be quickly installed at the top of the door, ensuring that children cannot grasp the latch, yet adults can easily reach up and unlock the door. This type of child-proof door locking device simply clips on to the door and grips the door frame, locking the door in a slightly open position.
If you scuff your feet on your living room rug, you pick up extra electrons and have a negative charge. Electrons move more easily through certain materials like metal, which scientists call conductors. When you touch a doorknob or something else made of metal , which has a positive charge with few electrons, the extra electrons want to jump from you to the knob. That tiny shock you feel is a result of the quick movement of these electrons.
You can think of a shock as a river of millions of electrons flying through the air. Pretty cool, huh? Static electricity happens more often during the colder seasons because the air is drier, and it's easier to build up electrons on the skin's surface. In warmer weather, the moisture in the air helps electrons move off of you more quickly so you don't get such a big static charge.
So, the next time you get a little shock from touching a doorknob, you'll know that it's just electrons jumping around. Should have the first 16 teeth, but the actual number of teeth can vary widely.
