    We have a refrigerator on our patio and a video security system at our front door both which obviously require to have constant power. These are small and look nice and get the job done. Beats the embarrassing piece of tape that I had been using!

    Simple to use, almost transparent and just what I needed.

    Does the job. Warnings: 1) dont over-tighten... since youll see the screw thread yet (as in the pictures) youll feel like you need to tighten it more--youll crack it, and 2) consider painting the last bit of threading the same color as the plate/screw head to make that little bit less noticeable.

    Our new home had easy access to my Toddler to start up the Gas Fireplace with a flip of a switch. We added these to the switches and you cant even tell they are there. I am unable to flip the switch myself so I have confidence itll deter the Toddler. Item is great for switches that you do not want used or are used infrequently (think seasonally) and were easy to install.

    Didn’t fit on my fairly standard light switch (although newer switches are smaller, so I understand), but I was able to squeeze it on. It works to keep my light switch on that controls what is now a smart outlet.

    Not a lot you can say about a clear piece of plastic other than its the right price for 5 that do what they say and are priced right.

    I was incredibly disappointed with this product. I have a newer house with modern but basic standard light switches. I went to install this lock on a single pole light switch to hold it in the on position. As I was tightening the screws I noticed all of a sudden the light shut off and stay that way even though it was held in the on position. I tried pushing the switch against the plastic ever so slightly upwards, light turns on again, stays on for a second and its back off. I didnt realize this about my (newer) switch, but the slightest force downwards causes it to shut off - this is unlike switches at my old houses, that you could lower to just about the middle before it would start flickering or shutting off. I dont know if all newer switches are like this, but it makes the lock a very poor design. Just the process of screwing this in caused a factory reset smartbulb by all the back and forth slight up-down forces. It could have probably been prevented if the hole for the switch was also angled instead of completely straight - since you realize, a switch on the on or off position is at an angle, you can see how this was a mistake. The only way I could make this work was to install it with no wallplate at all, and only screwed on the top hole - in this situation it didnt keep the light off, but its a huge safety risk just leaving it like that. I tried installing the wall plate on top of the lock, but since you cant screw the bottom without it shutting off, its sticking out horribly still exposing electric components. I can see how customers with older houses were able to install this a number of different ways without problem - but if you have a light switch manufactured at least in the last 6 or 7 years, test out how much force downwards will kick it off before bothering with this one. These locks come in a basic ziplock bag and they look really ugly until you peel off the scuffed film layer on both sides. This lock was way flimsier than other switch locks Ive purchased from Amazon, Im referring to the type that only take one screw and push the switch from a single direction - those are at least 3 times as thick as this is, and the screw hole is angled, which this is not. I bought this lock because I thought it would look pretty and be almost invisible - but I was so wrong. Since the screw hole is not angled/beveled the screws are sticking halfway out, and you can see the ugly screw threads way bigger making the whole thing completely ugly - the same effect you get looking at something through a clear glass of water - it looks bigger, warped, disgusting. I couldnt be more disappointed. If you have an old house with old switches, you might be able to get past the design flaws like the not-angled/beveled screw holes or the flimsy plastic. Dont tighten it too hard like I did on the top screw to make it stay on or you will crack the plastic horizontally right through the middle of the screw hole. Everybody else, especially if your switch shuts off at the slightest downward force - look elsewhere. These are going in the trash.
