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

These things are great! Installed very easily (great template to drill holes for the screws) and very securely our cabinets from the kids. I have really yanked on them while locked to test them and they hold great with no play. The best Ive found yet. I bought 4 as a trial and will be buying more.

Love these, although Ive had a few problems with some of them catching properly. They are installed perfectly, but if I pull at the cabinet door hard enough it will open without the key. Not sure why..but this has happened with 2-3 out of 16. Although my baby is only one, hes strong and determined enough to open the dud locks I received. Plan to contact merchant about this issue and hope for replacements.

The installation of these locks needs to be fairly precise and it took me about 10 - 12 minutes per drawer/cupboard but it was totally worth it. I love that theres no risk of fingers getting pinched in slightly open doors and that Ill never have to uninstall them because of the disable switch. Just inspect the locks and your cupboards for a while before getting started to REALLY understand the way they install and operate. I noticed that the printing on the template for the latch was a little off so I managed to adjust where I was marking the cupboard to drill the holes. Also, dont try to mark the locations for holes with a pencil as they suggest. Use an awl, or if you dont have one, a big nail or screw should do the trick. Also, always check where youve marked by holding up the lock or latch to make sure the marks align with the holes. I have one place where I need to fill a hole and try again because I marked it badly.

We started with the plastic push down cabinet locks and my 1 year old figured those out right away, so on to to plan B which was the Safety 1st Magnetic locks and they work perfectly. I also like the fact that you can turn them off when not in use. Although keep that key in a safe place. Weve had to buy a spare because the magnet clinged on to something else and left the house at some point :)

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.

The adhesive locks I got started to fall off, so I replaced them with these. Obviously they are much more reliable. These also have a better lock/unlock mechanism than my old ones.

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.

Great item

Installation pretty easy once you complete the first lock (maybe 30 minutes to install 3 locks, and I am not a very handy person) Our little one has not been able to open the cabinets since installing these locks. The best part is the disable feature which allows us to leave the locks unlocked if we are constantly going to be using a certain cabinet for that time. Also recommended for grandparents because they can leave the locks disabled when grandchild is not around, rather than constantly having to deal with child locks at all times. Very happy so far, going on 1 month and no regrets!

Easy to install with a nice template sticker to use. They stay locked very well, sure if you pulled extremely hard they may break but to keep someone out it works great. One of the pieces was broken upon opening and could not figure out a way to fix it so I had to toss one away. If you lose the key by chance, just use a standard few dollar pack of magnets from the hardware store.
