Professional door handle cover fitting - prevent children gripping lever handles to open doors. A simple childproofing measure for lever-style handles.
### Levers Are Too Easy
Lever door handles are child-friendly by accident. **Small hands grip, push down, door opens.** Handle covers remove the grip, keeping doors closed to children.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Covers are often better for internal doors where you want to slow children down rather than stop them completely.

Frequently Asked Questions about Door handle cover fitting in Sidmouth
How do door handle covers work?
They cover the lever handle, making it impossible for small hands to grip and push down. Adults can still operate the handle through the cover.
Covers vs locks - which is better?
Covers are simpler and don't require any modification. Locks are more secure. For very determined older children, locks might be better.
Will covers fit my handles?
Most lever handle styles yes. Very unusual or oversized handles might need alternatives. We'll check and advise.
Do adults find them annoying?
There's a slight adjustment period. Most adults adapt within a day. The minor inconvenience prevents children accessing dangerous areas.
