Incompatible to two different standard toilets,
FYI: this lock attaches on to both toilet seat hinge bolts. I have a new standard size (not elongated) Bemis/Mayfair white wood core toilet lid with chromed metal hinges. The hinges were incompatible with this device (the lock would not allow proper attachment of the toilet seat to the bowl). To resolve this, I drilled out both holes slightly on the Safety 1st Lock (from about 7/16″ to 1/2″). Although the lock would now allow the lid to properly attach to the bowl, the lock would not allow the lid to be tilted up far enough to prevent it from falling down again when released (the body of the lock is too thick). If the device is compatible to your toilet and seat, it will probably function well (I like the design). However, I suspect that the lock is not compatible to many standard sized toilet seats… perhaps a little bit more refining of the design is necessary. Not one, but TWO design issues prevented this lock from working on my toilet.
08 December 2009: I just attempted to install this lock in another bathroom of ours. This toilet is also a standard size (the toilet manufacturer is different than the one mentioned above. This toilet is also not elongated.) with the same new seat. Once installed, as with the other toilet, the thickness of lock prevents the toilet seat from staying in the up position (It will fall down unless it is held in place).
Because the lock is incompatible to two different toilets manufactured by different companies, I suspect that there are MANY more standard toilets that the lock will not work with. Again, I like the design. Please keep in mind before you purchase it that it may not work with your toilet. I am hopeful that my review will also be seen by the manufacturer (and that they will redesign it so that it will be compatible with more toilets).

|Great Product! Keeps My Child from Playing with Toilet Water!,
When I discovered my 2-year old son helping our dog to drink from the toilet, I knew that something had to be done. I didn’t want just any lock, especially one that would end up disgusting having to be attached to inside the bowl. When I found this lock, I definitely did my research online first to read all the reviews I could. It was relatively easy to install (I didn’t realize I had to take off the toilet seat first), and it definitely keeps my son from opening the toilet now! Now if only I can get the men in the house to remember to close the lock, everything would be dandy!

|Excellent for our toilet (regular toilet lid),
I avoided putting a toilet lock on for a while because I thought it would be a pain to open every time you had to use the facilities. I chose this particular lock just because it looked easier to open than other models which were half the price.
I guess that we were one of the lucky ones because it fits on our toilet lid fine. (We have a dual flush Caroma toilet with the original cheapie plastic lid.) However, at first my husband thought that it would not work, but he just had to work at it a little longer. (By the way, it says on the lock itself that it is not to be used on padded toilet lids.)
As it is, it is super easy for us to use. We have had it on a couple of days and I have made several middle of the night visits and have not had a single problem. My husband did not even have to tell me how to unlock it, I easily figured it out myself. (The real test will be when we have guests over – the same ones that couldn’t figure out why there are two buttons on our toilet.) It is not too bad looking although it might look a little nicer in white so that it would blend in better.
I am happy I spent the extra money on this model – it even has an indicator to let you know that the lock is in place and you won’t have to worry about discovering your dearest child splashing around in the toilet!
