Deadbolt Cover

thingiverse

Our 10mo puppy (pictured above) knows how to open doors using the handle. Recently she learned that she could open the deadbolt to get out by pawing at it a certain way. (We didn't teacher her, her own separation anxiety did) Luckily we were only getting something out of the car when she first learned to do this so we caught her as she was running down the stairs to us. Decided to 3D print a deadbolt cover that prevents her from pawing at the deadbolt to open it. It has a ~100 degree opening for your finger to fit and lock or unlock the deadbolt without removing the cover. It can be adhered with glue or double sided tape. I know I could replace the door handle with a knob but using the printer is move fun and unique. I like thinking outside the box.
