 The only way to go Mar 06, 2009
By Kevin O'Connor
"eva391"
If you need child safety catches, Buy only these. I have tried 8 different brands and styles, from the spring loaded expensive ones to the the cheap easy use ones. All are terrible. This product Is super strong and secure I have since replaced every safety catch in my house with this brand and I have told all my friends with children to buy only these as well. All of them are very pleased with it and swear buy it. Best product available simple and perfect.

Stop here, do not buy any other cabinet drawer and door locks BUY THESE ONLY Sep 23, 2009
By LD
Wow.... I have a huge box full of baby proofing items. I have a lot of drawer locks, my son can get past the lock on the drawer. This one is brilliant. Not only do you have the ability to keep them out, you can take the lock part out of it, if you are in the kitchen working, it is removable. It is like Christmas all over again, finding good items are hard, even the big name brands produce cheap items. Do not look past this item, it is a must have when you are baby proofing drawers. I have not used it on a door, since they don't need them. BUY IT

 Cabinet Safety Locks Dec 06, 2008
By L. Hunt
These work great. I like that when the door is pulled out, they lock into place so there is no concern with my son slamming his fingers in the door or drawer.

 great concept, mediocre design & quality Jul 20, 2010
By Jacob Scott
Once installed, these locks work really well. They only allow doors and drawers to open a couple inches (not the 1" that's claimed), and do an impressive job of keeping them open to prevent mashed fingers. The disable feature is handy in the kitchen when you need to get in & out of cabinets frequently (i.e. cooking, putting dishes away, etc.), and it will be good for the gap between kid 1 and kid 2 when cabinet locks are not required. Even with the negatives below, I think they are still pretty good locks even though I haven't used any others.
Now for the bad news. First, the included screws are worthless. If you get even moderate resistance when screwing them in, the heads twist off leaving a sharp piece of metal that you have to remove with pliers. I had to get different screws from the hardware store to install the locks after 6 screws broke off...on two locks. Yes, I even had pilot holes.
Second, I think I got a Beta version of the product instead of the final design that's pictured on Amazon and on the product's own packaging. It's difficult to explain without a picture, but it is obviously not "right". The design I got makes the small catching bracket rub against the stem of the long piece when the door is closed, and the applied pressure keeps the doors and drawers open slightly. You can press the door/drawer closed, but it opens again. This doesn't affect the product's performance, it just looks bad when everything is open a half inch.
Finally, don't waste your time with the installation templates. They are only good for the small catching bracket, and using the bracket as its own template works just as well. You still have to eyeball & "feelball" installing the larger bracket for the long piece to get it lined up just right, as there isn't a template for it.

Great, but a pain to install Jun 11, 2009
By Sam
My husband installed these and he was irritated by how long it took. Other than that, though, I'm happy with the way they work. My ten-month-old can pull the drawers out, and then yank and push on them without getting her fingers pinched. As far as this type of lock goes, I'm pretty happy with them!
