Q: Can the Door Guardian be locked from the outside? A: No, the Door Guardian is an inside home security device. Q: Can the Door Guardian accidentally lock itself? A: No, the spring-loaded action will prevent the Door Guardian from locking itself. Q: What can you do when the gap is too large between the rubber face of the Door Guardian and the inside of the door? A: The proper gap is somewhere between 1/8” and 1/4”. If it is larger, please contact customer service at 1-800-704-7037. Please ensure that there is a gap in order to prevent binding of the Door Guardian with the back of the door. Q: Where should the Door Guardian be positioned on the door for maximum protection? A: One should install 2 Door Guardians on the same side as your doorknob across from each of the hinges. Q: Can the Door Guardian be used as a childproofing device? A: Of course! The Door Guardian is an extremely effective childproofing device.

One is positioned at the top of the fixed door and the other Door Guardian is mounted on the fixed door between the fixed and operating door.
