I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. Magnets such as these are the only product that keeps kids out of cabinets. I`ve tried others and these are the types that I`ve been using through 6 kids and 9 years in my home. In the past I`ve used other brands and these function in a similar way, and I especially appreciated are the interchangeable keys. I was so excited to see the description that said no tools needed and was disappointed to find that the fine print said that for press-wood I would need a screwdriver. I wish the box would include this information. The instructions are clear and straight forward and relatively easy to assemble. It looks like it should hold up another 10 years. Overall, I am very happy with this product.
received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. My baby just started crawling so I have been looking for ways to child proof my home. These locks are the perfect solution for easy child proofing. When I first opened the package and looked at the parts and instructions, I immediately panicked and told my husband he would have to install them. He did not so the next day I sat down myself to tackle it. Low and behold once I sat to install, I had the first one completed in under 2 minutes. I did not have to read instructions on any of the subsequent ones and had them all installed in under 1 minute. I love this locking system. It is invisible from the outside of the cabinets which is one of the biggest perks to me. Once installed you can flip the switch on it to lock or unlock. When in lock position you simply tap the enclosed magnet on tthe exterior and can pull the door or drawer open. You can also set it to unlock and open the door as usual. I did not have to screw them into my cabinets which my husband loved. They are backed with a 3m adhesive so will peel off cleanly once we no longer need them. I imagine if you lose the enclosed magnet that any strong magnet would do. I am thrilled that you cannot see the child proofing, I know my child is safe. I can easily switch to unlock if we have company over or will need extended access into a cabinet. The installation was extremely easy and caused no damage to our cabinets. I already have added more to our shopping list so we can add these to our bathroom cabinets as well. We are extremely pleased with this seemingly perfect child proofing locking system.
I found this product to be a Great Solution to a problem my church group was having with trespassing. However, we were VERY Disappointment with the locks & key ratio. If the key gets misplaced, were screwed! We plan to contact the company to inquire about purchasing multiple keys only. It just seems like a no-brainer; what other type of lock is sold with only one key? None, absolutely none!
These magnetic locks are amazing! Do not underestimate the strength of the adhesive on these locks. My husband stuck it on and it was just a tad crooked... when he tried to readjust it, he realized the lock was stuck. We couldn't take it off easily at all, so we left it. Thankfully, the lock was just barely crooked... nothing noticeable and you can't even see it from the outside anyway once the cabinets are closed. These are great for keeping your kitchen and bathrooms looking clean, neat, and tidy without the looks of obvious childproofing, not to mention these work and does the job amazingly. Thank you so much, Safety 1st!!! Awesome product!!!
FYI, I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I wanted to wait a bit to write this review to see if I`d lose the key....Ha! And the good news is, I did NOT! We just kept the key in a top drawer next to the cabinets and made sure to put it back in that drawer immediately after we used it. I do wonder what happens to your cabinets if you lose the key though. I assume you just find a different magnet? They work great, though. They were a little intimidating to install with all the pieces, but it wasn`t so bad. And I like that you can`t see them from the outside at all. Only con is that the sticky back didn`t stick enough for a couple, but I just used the screws for reinforcement on those. And once you are past the age of baby proofing, it`s very easy to put some wood filler in the screw holes so they`re like new. I recommend these, for sure.
I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. These locks prove to be pretty handy. We are not much for locks on anything in our house with our children because it seemed to be a pain each time you wanted to open a cabinet or a drawer. Even though you have to get a key with these ones it is much simpler and fingers do not get smashed trying to open something that should not be opened. The product is of good quality, but did prove a little more difficult to install and these locks did not fit on all of our cabinets and doors due to their size. BUT you can have them lock or keep them unlocked which is great for when your child doesn`t need the safety feature anymore. They were packaged well and easy to get in and out. They did include directions which were helpful, but as mentioned before the size is what proved to be more difficult. I would buy these for sure and recommend to a friend or family member. Great concept and great idea.
