Hidden Safety Latches

So I didn’t buy these because I have a toddler that gets into drawers and cabinets, I bought them because I have kittens that are very observant and have figured out how to get into the bathroom drawer where the toilet paper is hidden from them because they destroy it. And we all know how precious toilet paper is right now! Our first thought was to block off the drawers, put heavy things n front of them. But we not only blocked the kittens, we blocked ourselves. Admittedly, I was stubborn about buying child locks for kittens, but after almost peeing my pants because I had to move a heavy bin out of the way, I changed my mind. Installation is crazy easy. I’ve had to do the locks that needed to be screwed in, and those are horrible. These locks are great. Peel off the back of the paper and stick it to the drawer or door. A few of them were a bit off so I had to peel them off and reposition them. I learned really fast to put them on very lightly (don’t press the lock firmly) until I made sure they were lined up. The first one I pressed firmly, then realized it was off, so I had to very slowly peel it off. It doesn’t come off easy, so it took a little muscle. I suppose if somebody were to leave their toddler unattended and the child kept pulling really hard on the drawer or door, the lock might pop off, but it would take some effort and time. So basically, put the lock where you think it will lock well, press lightly, confirm it’s lined up then press firmly for 30 seconds, or adjust it, if necessary. Also, don’t leave your child unattended and then complain that the locks don’t stick.

We do not have any young children in our household, but these latches are just perfect for what I wanted them for! I was thinking about what if there was a powerful earthquake here and with my kitchen cabinets not having any way of being kept closed and "latched" opened up due to the shaking. All of the dishes and glassware inside of them could fall out and break! That would be a real tragedy and a loss, not to mention the mess of all the broken glass and dishes on the floor, and expensive to replace too! So I thought that I should check around for something to keep my kitchen cabinets closed in case we did have an earthquake like this (it has happened here in the past, and not that long ago either). I saw the latches that come with screws, and then I saw these. I thought that these looked easier to install, and had good reviews, so I decided to buy them. They are very easy to install, wherever it is easiest to push the little button on the side for you to open them. For example, I installed these on the lower corner of the upper cabinets, and then on the upper corner of the lower cabinets where I had some breakable items in. You place them so that the little hook part will just catch on the side when closed. And the adhesive on these latches seems very sticky and secure. So I would recommend these latches not only for child proofing your cabinets, but also for keeping glassware, dishes, etc. safe and secure in your cabinets in case there is a strong earthquake.

These are perfect for cabinet doors. They take less than a minute to put on if using the sticker, and they've held up well after a week of my husband and I forgetting we applied them and slamming cabinets open. The baby also enjoys slamming the cabinet doors, and the glue is holding up well. My -1 star is because these are not good for drawers. Even with the extra lip, the hook is too short. Sometimes it will catch, but half the time (or if I open a drawer quickly), it will somehow slide right past it. Note that the length may be a bad thing for drawers; my baby can still slip items through the gap when she pulls the drawer open against this latch (like measuring cups and utensils). Still, I'd recommend for cabinets. Get that babyproofing done!

Great latch, easy to install, easy to use, good quality. I contacted the company with a question & they answered quickly. We liked these latches enough, that even though we had to do some engineering to get them to work "better" on some of our style of cabinets which only have about a 1/4" inch of clearance on all 4 sides of the door/drawer, it was worth it, just due to the fact you don't have to drill a bunch of holes & once you don't need them any more, you can remove them without any damage to the doors. If your style of cabinets or drawers does not allow the door or drawer to open far enough to easily slip your finger in to depress the latch, just use a small block of wood as a spacer to allow the latch shank to extend out farther to allow a larger opening for your finger. If you have "regular" cabinets, these just stick on and work great. This is a MUCH better design than the ones you buy at the brick-and-mortar stores.
