The Privacy Pocket peephole cover is a textile fabric decal which measures 3”L x 2-1/2”W. The peephole cover is made up of textile fabric to resemble a denim patch pocket. The Privacy Pocket has two hook-and-loop strips on the back. To use, the glued portion of the hook-and-loop strip is mounted on the door directly above the peephole, then the Privacy Pocket is attached to the strip to cover the peephole.

The center of the blocker is cut out to fit snugly around the handle of a door latch. To use, the hook-and-loop strips are mounted on the inside of the door on either side of the lock latch. The lock blocker is attached to the strips surrounding the latch. When the blocker is placed over the latch, the blocker will prevent the latch from turning and opening.
