Keeping nosy fingers out

My two year old is into everything, all the time. The worst thing is her going into the utensil drawer and getting the cooking tools and dragging them all over the floor. When we installed these, she was quite frustrated at first, but after a few days, she stopped trying to get into them. #win
My son who just turn 2 walked into the corner of the dresser because he was trying to open the drawer. Luckily the latch was put on and he wasn't able to open it because I had sharp knives In there. The latches worked well with the drawers and kept them secure and my so. Safe.
These are wonderful to help keep my little guys fingers out of stuff that he shouldn't be getting in and is one of the many things needed to help ensure my little guy is safe! It only takes a second for them to get into something, and safety precautions like these are a MUST in my opinion!!
I was expecting these to work similar to ones I already had.. They worked better! I have seen these but never bought any before participating in the trial program. I now have these in my list for when I go to the store. I'm going to replace the kind I was previously using with these!! So easy to install and quick as well. The babies can't open my drawers or cabinet doors, but I have no problems. Love these and would definitely recommend them to anyone with small children!!! Don't waste your money on the magnet locks when these will work better and longer.
The installation instructions were very difficult for me to understand so I had to have my husband install them they are okay to use but won't last long with the wear and tear of everyday use.
Caution : these are not a TRUST WORTHY PRODUCT !These were difficult from the installation process on .Yes the construction of these may SEEM more sturdier than their prior locks but it made it more difficult to push down to get the cabinet/drawer to open and I had two drawer locks break on me just trying to open them so the stuffiness was a misconception. Also, if you have used older versions, the holes to screw these in don't match, either on the latches or the catch. Also, they are so long, little hands can pry the cabinet open far enough to get inside unless you put the catch so far back inside that then it's in the way of whatever you have inside the cabinet. We actually watched both our twins (with us next to them ) see if they could get into it and they BOTH were able to reach inside , if my wife hadn't stopped them they would have been able to pull a furniture polish out . I immediately went to work and put the older locks into place . I would not recommend these to anyone .
I installed these latches on all my lower kitchen cabinets because my 3 year old son loves to dig in them and make a huge mess. These latches we're easy to install and hold firmly once in place. Would buy again if I needed a product like this.
I was so grateful to receive these cabinet locks. My toddler had been getting into everything. The old latches that we had when my older children were toddlers were left at our old house yes. These new latches had a template to help with installation and they work well. My two-year-old is quite strong and cannot get into the cabinets that I put these on. I would recommend them.
