Why We Love This Deal
It’s the little things you don’t realize you need until it’s too late—things like a roadside emergency kit or a dryer cleaner that reduces fire risk cost very little but could be invaluable if push comes to shove. Another one is supplementary front door protection for your home. Right now, from the Amazon home improvement section, you can get a $10 add-on to your door that reinforces it and adds an extra lock to it without needing batteries or any unusual post-installation maintenance.
The Winonly Door Lock Reinforcement Device is an additional lock you can add to your door that can withstand 800 pounds of force. It’s perfect for potentially deterring break-ins and for toddler-proofing your front door, and multi-packs start at $18 for full home protection.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Style: Keyless interior lock
- Material: Aluminum
- Installation: Screw-in
- Compatibility: Most wooden front doors that open inwards with a seam larger than 0.07 inches.
- Best Use Case: Use for peace of mind against intruders and to keep toddlers indoors.
This is an aluminum lock that you can use your driver to install into your single-door entryway and works in addition to your primary lock. The set includes both long and short screws so you can select what makes sense for your door.
In use, it slides back and forth to lock and unlock, which is relatively simple, but it should still be hard for your toddler to open. One of the key aspects of this reinforcement lock is that it takes at least 800 pounds of force to knock it loose. As anyone who’s seen a Lockpicking Lawyer video will know, no lock is perfectly secure against a sophisticated mind, but anybody with a doorbell chud banging on the front door will feel a lot better having this at their front door.
Use this for the peace of mind it gives against intruders, an extra layer of security for your family, and to help keep curious toddlers indoors.
What Shoppers Are Saying
A parent’s review said it all: “Super easy to install and works great for keeping my doors secure and children safe.”
One shopper, who primarily uses the locks to keep her toddlers from sneaking outdoors, said, “I have used black to match our door fixtures and white to blend in with the frame. Either way, they look great.” There are actually five colors of the locks, so you can take your pick for one that matches your entryway best.
The Winonly Door Lock Reinforcement Device is available from $10, and multi-packs start at just $18 right now.
