Best Outlet Cover

Leviton T5325 15 Amp Tamper-Resistant Duplex Receptacle

9.8 / 10

Not a cover: the outlet itself, with internal shutters that stay closed unless both prongs of a plug enter together, UL 498 listed, and the thing new homes have been required to install since the 2008 NEC. The permanent fix for a shock hazard.

Best Bath Spout Cover

Munchkin Silicone Bath Spout Cover

9.4 / 10

The one to buy: 100 percent silicone rather than mixed plastic, stated BPA-free, fits most spout types, and it does not have to come off to use the shower diverter. The bubble-bath dispenser built into it is a bonus, not the reason.

Best Door Pinch Guard

D-Line TV Raceway Cord Cover (2.36 in x 0.59 in)

9.2 / 10

The profile designed for exactly this job: 2.36 inches wide but only 0.59 deep, so it swallows a wall-mounted TV's whole cable run while sitting almost flat against the drywall.

Read why it won

Best Door Knob Cover

EUDEMON Baby Safety Door Knob Covers (4 pack)

9.2 / 10

The knob cover for the child who has already worked out the cheap ones: two buttons have to be pressed at once to release the shell, so pulling the halves apart gets a toddler nowhere.

Best Door Lever Lock

Wappa Baby Door Lever Lock (4 pack)

9.1 / 10

Best Oven Lock

EUDEMON Childproof Oven Door Lock (white)

9.0 / 10
