Tools and Hardware Reviews of Master Lock 265DCCSEN Dual-Function Security Bar
Customer Review: Great product, but doesn't grip well on slick surfaces
Summary: 4 Stars
Easy to setup and very well built. The plastic foot is adjustable/swivels which is nice but the plastic is overly hard and has a difficult time gripping on slick surfaces like tile. Works VERY Well on carpet. I managed to figure out how to get it to work very well on tile by shortening the length of the rod and literally wedging it between the door knob and the floor. It holds very well in that position, but I wonder if someone REALLY hit the door if it wouldn't buckle because the foot is not set back very far. I plan on installing a stop in the floor further back in the near future so I can extend the rod and get a better lock. Good quality product overall and very well built.Customer Review: Heavy Duty
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an outstanding Security bar. I had one that I bought for near the same price and was cheaply made. This is heavy duty. You can adjust it down or up by the inch. Thank you for the great deal.Customer Review: Here are the features & measurements (minimum and maximum) if you need them..
Summary: 4 Stars
This security bar is very easy to use and a good alternative for providing additional protection. There are questions about how it's installed and its width - this is from the package:
* This security bar adjusts to fit most sliding and hinged doors
* Simple push button adjustment. No tools required.
* High strength steel tube (20-gauge)
* Portable, collapsible to fit most suitcases (**I wouldn't try to bring it inside a carry on**)
* Ideal for home or apartment (entry doors, interior doors for privacy, garage access doors), student dorms and travel
* Limited lifetime guarantee (see your store for details) (**Not sure what it means but keep the receipt**)
For use with hinged doors:
* Non-marring yoke designed to work with most types of door hardware. Can be removed for use with sliding glass doors.
* Pivoting ball joint (assures full contact with the floor)
* Padded foot provides sure grip on most floor surfaces and protects against finish damage.
* For hinged door, adjusts from 30" to 44.5"
* Should not be placed on loose rugs or floor mats
* To install, adjust bar length so padded base is 15-18 inches from bottom of door when yoke end is placed firmly under door knob
* Adjust length by rotating tube until silver button pops up
* Place yoke end tightly against the underside of the knob
* Slide padded base of security bar toward door until snug
For use with sliding glass doors
* Remove non-marrying yoke from end of security bar
* Adjust bar length to fit in the sliding door track
* Allow enough slack to remove the security bar quickly
* For sliding door, adjusts from 27.5" to 42"
For childproofing purposes, a Charley bar is better. If you don't have one, this bar may be better than the typical broomstick but you could consider placing an additional sliding glass door lock on top in case your child figures out how to lift it off the track (not too hard as it's not pressure fitted). In this regard, the Master Lock 251D which had a pressure lever was superior, as it could be wedged firmly high up, out of reach of children.
Customer Review: How did this get by product testing?
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the most ridiculous "security" device I have seen. I installed this on my door that had a vinyl tile floor in front of it. This unit slides so easily out of the way. I'm 160 lbs and I didn't even have to push very hard to overcome this stupid unit. If you want the illusion of safety, then buy this unit. But it is a false sense of security. Search for "Door Club" on Amazon for a product that actually works.Customer Review: I can't believe it works as good as it does for this low a price
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tile floors and this thing might as well be in cement once it's in place--if you're in a state like California where double-sided keyed deadbolts are illegal AND have side windows next to front door: this is your product.
If someone punches out your sidelight, then yes, EVENTUALLY they could figure out how to undo this thing--but the surprise of a door not coming open after the deadbolt is turned while the alarm is wailing might be enough to make them take off running.
For the money, I'm very very happy with this product.
