Okay, so I got this Alise Window Chain Lock to baby-proof my windows, and here’s the real talk.

The Good: This thing is BUILT. The metal is thick, the matte black finish looks sleek, and it feels like it could survive a zombie apocalypse. The included hex key adds an extra layer of security, which I appreciate since my toddler thinks he’s Houdini.

The Annoying: Unlocking it is a PAIN. You need the hex key to unscrew the bolt every single time. Not ideal if you’re in a hurry (or, you know, escaping a fire). Also, the chain is loooong—like, "why is this so long?" long. If your window or door frame is narrow, it’ll swing open way more than you’d want.

DIY Fixes: I ended up clipping a couple chain links (sacrilege, I know) and added a washer to keep the bolt from wandering off. Now it’s *chef’s kiss* for my needs.

Final Verdict: Great for rarely used doors/sheds or high-up windows where kids can’t reach. Daily use? Nah. But if you’re handy and patient, it’s a solid upgrade.
