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

As much as I hate to install these things, they really are the best quality baby locks. The doors and drawers stay completely shut so baby cant catch a finger. I suggest buying sticky felt circles to put on the face of the door where your magnet will go. It helps locate where to put the magnet but also prevents wearing a spot in them.

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.

Purchased for a home daycare. Boyfriend had to install, took a bit of time to do all kitchen drawers, but work perfectly. Magnet unlocks, kids can’t open the drawers.

Amazing my little magician cant pry these open even pulling with full body wt. Although to keep from cracking my cabinets over tightening them I also went to Lowes and bought a 6 second set glue small brown box works on all surfaces. It says 5 seconds but to me a bit more Im just super causious but tested doors and drawers a few minutes later these arent coming off

Works as advertised. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws on the catches or they will crack (theyre plastic). If youre screwing these in by hand, you wont have this problem. If youre using a cordless drill, be sure to adjust your max torque settings appropriately!

a little tricky to install and you have to drill the cabinets but they work great!!!!! I have full overlay cherry cabinets, the magnet works great through the door and they latch every time. I have self closing hinges and these do not provide any resistance when closing so they latch every time. I ordered a different kind accidentally and they would not always latch, or more accurately hardly ever latch........

They are ok, there are magnets in the lock part itself so where I wanted to place the lock it was picking up on the metal staple in the corner of the cabinet door and holding itself unlocked. I had to move them away from the corner and further from the handle to get them to work which now makes opening the door a two-handed affair. Otherwise easy to install and function as described.

Our little guy has finally discovered the magical world of cupboards which made us realize additional kid proofing was needed. I tried to install the hook-latch-push down to open-thingys. Yeah, those suck pretty bad. No matter what I did I couldnt get those things to work because of physics. They might work in a parallel universe with parallel universe cupboards but not in this universe. The reviews for all the other options were mixed at best. However these got great reviews. So we decided to try these out. Are they more expensive? Yes...yes they are. Do they work awesome? Yes...yes they do. These lock the cupboard nice and tight. No chance for smashing little fingers, or weaseling something harmful out of the cupboard. The only way to open these is to use the included magnetic key (however any strong magnet will work). I love that you can disable the locks if needed returning your cupboards essentially to pre-rugrat glory. The only downside is forgetting the cupboards are locked which could potentially result in a dislocated shoulder. Oh right...locked. Okay, okay...not that bad but realizing your cupboards are locked takes some getting used to. There have been times when finding the key took a few minutes. So investing in a few extra might be smart. As others have mentioned, the fridge is a GREAT place for the key. As an alternative, hidden in your sons toy basket can be fun too. If you have anything other than flat front doors the magnet key might end up in a weird place. Ours for example ends up on an angle because it rests on a router bevel in the door. No big deal, it just looks a bit weird. Beyond these few small issues we love these. Installation can be tedious but not nearly as bad as the aforementioned plastic-hook monstrosities. Have a baby? Want to keep him/her safe? Buy these. :)

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).

When these works, theyre great. Weve had two issues: 1) They dont fit on all of our cabinets. It seems you need to have a certain type of drawer/cabinet for this to work -- like it needs an extra piece of wood sticking out of the inner side of the drawer/cabinet for things to align. So these wont work on half of our cabinets. 2) The one we put on our utensil drawer broke. And we replaced it with another one, and it broke again. Replaced, and broke again. I dont know if its a frequency of use thing, or if its because that drawer gets warm from having a heating vent right below it... suspecting the latter since it broke three times in just a few weeks...
