Safety 1st Magnetic Cabinet Locks, 4 Locks + 1 Key

Magical locks. Keeps my toddler out of all the things without having ugly latches on all my cabinets- especially the ikea type cabinets that dont have a ridge for a latch to sit on. He cant figure these out either, because the latch isnt at all visible.

These locks are awesome when you want to baby proof your cabinets without looking like you baby proofd your cabinets. Theyre invisible and weve had many guests who couldnt figure out how to open our cabinets. Everyone was impressed with how these locks worked. We keep the magnetic key on a lanyard conveniently stuck to the fridge for easy access. The only comment I have is that the installation is obviously a little more complicated than other solutions. Take your time and do some visual checks / test fits. After you install a couple though you get the hang of it and you can install additional locks much quicker. One good trick I found is drilling small pilot holes with my cordless drill. I used tape on the small drill bit to mark the depth I wanted (aka, not drill THROUGH the cabinet door).

These work perfectly but I wasnt impressed with the instructions. It took me a good but to figure it out but once I did the first one the rest were easy. I like that I can take them off and move them with me tinny next rent house.

Everyone loves this product. The locking system is completely invisible from the outside and is strong enough to stop a 2 year old toddler. I love that here is a locked/unlocked switch present if you are going to access the cabinet multiple time. Installation is slight nuance, since it was difficult to figure out the sticker guides that was included in the package, but the screws holes are slightly adjustable to make for a perfect fit.

These locks work well and theyre super secure. Unless your toddler can rig up a reasonably strong electromagnet. But then youve got bigger problems. The locks can be set to stay open if the kids arent around and you need easier access. The magnetic key works fairly well. Installation isnt the easiest, and the paper template could be better. I had some cabinets where I just couldnt mount these locks and had to find alternatives. Still, as long as you can keep the key out of reach, these are about secure as toddler locks get.

Worked great in the cabinets that we couldnt use the traditional/much cheaper spring locks for (the cabinets were too close together to get a finger in and push the latch) And they worked great. Installation was easier when I thoroughly read the instructions.

Installation pretty easy once you complete the first lock (maybe 30 minutes to install 3 locks, and I am not a very handy person) Our little one has not been able to open the cabinets since installing these locks. The best part is the disable feature which allows us to leave the locks unlocked if we are constantly going to be using a certain cabinet for that time. Also recommended for grandparents because they can leave the locks disabled when grandchild is not around, rather than constantly having to deal with child locks at all times. Very happy so far, going on 1 month and no regrets!

After reading reviews about many types of cabinet childproofing products, we decided to buy these. Theyre a bit more costly, but much more effective in keeping baby out of the cabinets than the cheaper ones. Our baby loves to open the kitchen cabinets and has started to pull out pans and glass dishes recently. I cant reorganize the cabinets to allow him some exploration and play space in the kitchen, so instead of constantly saying no, no, no I decided to make it a moot point by removing the temptation of opening and closing the cabinet doors. The morning after we installed these, he crawled over, pulled himself up, and tried to pull on the knob to open the door. He attempted a few times, but quickly got bored and crawled away. Effective! Installation was a little frustrating for the first one, but once we figured it out, the others were quick to install (maybe 4 minutes each, but the first one took us about 20 mins). Weve ordered more, to put on the rest of our kitchen cabinets and on the bathroom ones, too. Were pleased with this product, and were glad we didnt waste the time installing the cheaper plastic latches that most kiddos eventually learn how to use. Minus 1 star because only 1 magnetic key is included...what happens if we lose it, or lock it inside the cabinet? It would take a few days to buy another one...

Who knew a child-proof latch could be so much fun? They were easy to install and a pleasure to use because theyre so clever. Note that its no longer necessary to blind drill a nearly 3/8 diameter hole; just two small screw holes need to be drilled into the cabinet face. The provided templates make installation much easier than it otherwise would be - very clever. I only wished that this product could be made to work on the drawers in my house.

If I had reviewed these right after buying them, Im sure Id have given them 5 stars. But a couple years later... man, what a pain these have been. First off, out of 12 we installed 3 have been replaced and 3 more need to be. THEY JUST DONT LAST! Something breaks in them, seemingly with no reason, rendering them completely useless. The company replaced the first two. The third time they said they would after receiving the defect back and - to their credit - they paid for the shipping... but I never heard from them again. To be honest, if I could go back in time... I just wouldnt bother. So heres some parenting device: Stop being so paranoid! You wont listen to me. I wouldnt have listened to me either. But I found its just far better to teach the kid to not do certain things, and move the really dangerous stuff so they just cant get it. Way better than annoying yourself and all your guests for years with these blasted things.
