Template:Infobox invention The GlideLok is an American invention created for the baby proofing product industry. The original GlideLok was introduced in October 2012 by a Texas mom and dad of twins.
Product development[edit]
Jack Smith invented the GlideLok to prevent adults from getting trapped in a room due to a one-sided child proofing lock and keeping young children out of unwanted or dangerous areas in the home. Over 67,000 children[1] are injured in the kitchen (most occurring around the pantry) each year.
The GlideLok is a baby proofing product with a top-of-door lock with a sliding mechanism and can be operated from both sides of a door. It’s also a lock that fits doors with levers for handles.
An updated version, patents pending, of the GlideLok was released in August 2023. The updated model makes it more difficult for a child to jiggle the lock loose. It also includes tracks for custom extension rod sets which make it easier to slide the GlideLok if an adult cannot reach the top of the door.
