White Mini Twist Tight Security Bar Small Size Extends 15” to 25” Sliding Glass Door Pet Door Panel Lock – Single Hung & Sliding Window Locks

After looking at most of the bar locks on Amazon, we settled on this brand as one that would be simple to install and lock and perform well. We also wanted the ability to leave the door slightly open, but secure for ventilation. The Maxi version was too big for our small sliders, and the mini appeared to fit the space. We ordered three and when the arrived we dry fitted them to the doors, and were somewhat dismayed to see that even at full extension, they were just a little too short. We really didn't want to return them because they were the right solution, just a llittle short. We contacted the firm by email on Friday afternoon, explaining the situation and asking if they could sent us three 15" bars to be able to extend the bar sufficiently to lock it in place.On Saturday morning, we got a call from Tom Sullivan. President of the company, who happened to be in that day. We discussed what we wanted to do and he pointed out that while a longer bar would solve the lock issue, the ventilation solution we envisioned would not because of the way thsi bar works (it drops into a recieving cup on the door and is tightened against the door; but if the door is pulled closed the shortened bar will fall out fo the cup and the bar pivots down out of the way and the door is open). He basically suggested the best thiing was a shortened pipe in the track to block the door open for ventilation. We agreed but still wanted the Wedgit for locking the door closed because of it's simplicity and ease-of-use. He said he'd cut down three bars used in the Maxi version and sent them to us for cost and postage.Ten minutes after the call, we received an email from Mr. Sullivan indicating he had cut down the bars, packed them up and sent them USPS Priority Mail to arrive on Monday. They did and they worked exactly as expected, We let them know that we got the bars and the solutions worked, and asked where to send the agreed upon payment. We also told them that the company's customer service was probably the best we'd ever received, particularly because the problem we encountered was of our own making. When he was able to answer that email after 4 days, he waived the payment saying that 4 days to answer an email was too long and did not demonstrate the customer service he wanted to.The Mini and Maxi Wedgit's are good products made by a firm with integrity and honesty. Buy IT!

Extra security, good price

I knew what I was getting because of the price. Was very easy to install and works as advertised. I use it to hold my sliding door tight against my doggie door. The threaded part is a nice feature to make sure it's snug. It is just PVC and you will have to screw it in place the sticky tabs don't stay on very long. I would recommend , a good basic item

I ordered the wrong size and requested a return. The owner reached out to me and offered a part to extend the bar the distance I needed at a minimal cost. He shipped same day and I received the part 2 days later. All customer service should be this awesome. Product was easy to install and looks great.

Great customer service! I needed a bigger size due to my lack of measurements.. Order it!Be safe!

I originally got this to go with a sliding glass doggy door. I told my wife, who was staying in a hotel at that time and she ixnayed the dog door.I was able to cancel the order for the very expensive dog door, but too late to cancel this.Still, when it came, I checked it out. It was really easy to use and install, and it came with an adapter for doors with deeper grooves.Actually, I have a window fan mounted in a window that slides shut horizontally. This would be more secure in many ways to those little clips and an even better addition to them.Still even with the shortest one, it was too long but it was a simple design. I sawed down the tubes and redrilled the hole on the outer tube.Once that was done, it was as easy to install as it was originally supposed to be. An added benefit was that it compressed the window and fan tighter against the insulation I had put around the fan's edges. It also reduced the noise level as it reduced vibration and wobbling.If you have a similar setup with a sideways fan or AC unit, this might be an idea for you.

At first I was returning the item due to my lack of measuring, I was so disappointed because of me not reading or measuring. So I contacted Amazon for a return, and that night I had an email from the owner Tom. He made me an offer to get the extension rod so I didn’t need to return it. We spoke on the phone and liw and behold he was in NJ and he made everything. Made in the USA finally. So within in a day I received the extender and I am so thrilled that it was so easy to install. I feel so much more secure now knowing that this rod is attached to my sliding glass door. So ladies and gentlemen please read the product all the way through and measure, I will be doing it from now on, but I’m glad I did because I got to speak to a company that really takes care of their customers .

I have the pet door for for sliding glass doors. The space was too small (less than 20") for all the sliding glass door bars. I ordered this one and it fit perfect. Easy to install and use. I pulled on my sliding glass door handle and the door did not budge. The instructions recommend 3M command type strips if you would like to mount it temporarily. I did use the 3M as I was unsure I would like the wedgit and I had read that the actual adhesive strip on it is very strong. The 3M command has held it in place perfectly for days. This might be a consideration if you live in a rental as you could easily remove the wedgit when you move and reuse it later. When opening your door, you do need to hold the inner bar in place after removing the pin and then replace the pin before you drop the bar or the inner bar will slide all the way out and hit the floor. You definitely could not do this one handed. I like this bar so much that I am ordering one for my daughters house.

Easy to set up and does was it supposed to do.

Perfect for windows !

I use it to restrain full opening of a big hung window and it works but I don't expect much resistance if someone really tries to come in because bar is made of thin plastic.Quite pricey for what it is but it's the only small (<25") security bar I could find...

It is plastic, but picture look like metal.
