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

Great item

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.

These hold our below-sink drawers shut rather securely, and the magnetic release does a great job in releasing the lock without hassle. Installing them requires using a template (included) thats a bit of a hassle, but nothing terribly complicated. Some drawers/cabinets will simply not work with this product, depending on how the drawer face or cabinet door interfaces with the surrounding wood. Unfortunately, you may just have to try it out to see if yours works (though I remember something on the packaging telling what types of cabinets/drawers are not likely to work). Id definitely recommend these to someone wanting to keep kids out of their drawers/cabinets.

They work really well. Just a little bit difficult to install due to the small size of the screws, but thats just because my hands are big. The instructions and the sticky placement guides make it much easier to install the locks than I thought it was going to be. Im going to be buying more of these soon!

This could be a great product, BUT the support is terrible. We started installing the product over the weekend. The package includes an innovative template that sticks to the cabinet door so you can drill the holes correctly. The adhesive is basically double stick tape and is covered by a waxy paper. Unfortunately, removing the paper also removed the adhesive. We contacted support to get some additional templates to replace the defective ones and were told, Unfortunately, these locking systems do not have parts available to send. So, if there is something missing from the package, or defective... you would have to return the entire product for the very inexpensive templates. Sorry thats not really an acceptable answer these days. So, if you go ahead and buy the product, inspect it quickly. If ANYTHING even looks wrong, return it immediately. Dont wait, and dont expect any help from support.

We had weirdly shaped cupboards, of course, so it took a while to figure out how to install the locks such that we wouldnt have finger-pinching gaps. But we did, and they work great! Four locks is not very many, since what I tend to think of as one cabinet is actually two doors. Even though I bought an extra magnetic key I probably wouldve been better off buying more locks (each package of four locks comes with a key) and sealing off more cupboards.

Love this system. It did take all morning to install 8 locks but worth the effort. Love that I can unlock cabinets when my grandson is not visiting.

These locks are great and very easy to install. They keep my 15 month old son out of the kitchen cabinets especially the cleaning products cabinet. I love that the locks can be set to lock or unlock with the flip of a button on the lock itself, so when he gets older and we dont have to worry about his getting into the cabinets we can leave them unlocked instead of having to take the locks off.

Installation is straightforward on cabinets. Drawers can be a little difficult because there often isnt a surface to mount the catch or space to manuever a power drill. I had to make shim blocks to mount the latch on, but no other adaptations were necessary.

We installed these in our entertainment center and in the cabinet under our kitchen sink where we store our bleach and other things to keep our grandkids from getting in. Just stick the magnetic key on your fridge so you dont lose it.
