Confounding Door Lock - Seniors

This ingenious, strong Alzheimer’s door lock requires no key and does not look like a lock. It opens by pulling and rotating the door-jamming "blocker" out of the way of an in-swinging door. Caregivers can unlock the confounding door lock easily, but persons with dementia (who does not know the trick) can try for hours with no success.

This Alzheimer’s safety device works on doors that swing inward only. It's easy to install for any handy person, requiring only three screws (provided). It can be installed on wood or a metal frame and requires a drill and a screw driver. (not provided)

Not recommended for use on exit doors - for safety reasons. Lock access only from inside.

Recommendation: When using this lock to deny access for people with dementia, locate the Confounding Door Lock either exceptionally high or exceptionally low - where one would not expect to find a lock. The combination of an unusual appearance and unusual location will aid in disguising the device.

5 of 5 Safety lock August 10, 2026
Reviewer: judie roth from Morris, IL United States  
The lock is very very secure and very easy to install. However, the directions did not indicate how to open and close the lock, and it was difficult to determine how to do it. Took me several, tries on several occasions to finally figure it out. I think there could’ve been something written on that card display of how to open and close the lock.

This door lock solved a huge problem.  It is easy for me to open the lock but my husband with Alzheimer's can't.

Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Lewiston , NC United States  
Fairly easy to install and our loved one cannot seem to operate it. I have installed mine fairly high and I think that helps so you may want to give that some thought.
