Safety 1st Spring n' Release Latches, 10 Pack

***One year update, kid now 2 as well*** We have had these installed for over a year and they still work great. We have not had a single one break and our kid, who is over 2 now, still doesn’t not get into any cabinets or drawers with these installed. I had one latch that needed a slight adjustment and tightening of the screw so the door closed, but otherwise they’ve been solid. I’d definitely buy these again as they’ve kept our kid out of places with things he shouldn’t play with. We even have them in drawers in bathroom that have hair product and other dangerous items. It’s a little tight to open but well worth the peace of mind. There are a lot of cabinet locks out there. Some of the ones like the magnetic ones may work better, but because of the price of those and quantity of doors we had between kitchen, bathrooms, etc....I did not want to spend that much money. I settled on these as they seemed much bulkier than most and less likely to break. I also liked the spring loaded feature so that you aren’t constantly bending plastic and weakening it. Install is easy. Just a couple screws for each piece and has a nice piece to easily mark each one. The biggest complaints seem to be the cabinet not closing by itself. I thought the same thing at first until one of the locks I installed was a little off Center which allowed it to close without having to push down the lock. I went back and readjusted all the other to be the same and now we can close the cabinet without holding down the lock and they CANNOT be opened at all still. We even have soft close cabinets and they still work. The trick is to make sure the piece that goes on the door, the spring loaded piece, lined up with the sloped area on the other piece screwed in to the cabinet. That sloped area is where the screws go in that piece. Because of the slope, it allows the handle to student over it without being pushed down. Once closed and you try to open it, it’s then far enough over to latch onto the straight edge portion in the middle so it can’t be opened. While that’s a little complicated, for the price and effectiveness and now ease of use after installing, I think it’s worth it overall. I included a couple pictures to try and better detail what I am trying to explain, along with a video of it working. I wanted to upload another video of our kid trying to open it but amazon will only let me upload one video.

Great product

I feel these are reliable and good quality. You have to drill holes and screw them into the cabinets. Measuring and drilling can be more annoying than adhesive locks but I find this product has a stronger hold than another model brand I used. It's wider too which makes unlocking easier. Overall it's a good product.

The product is awesome. The need for it is a pain the rear. Growing up my parents never used such a thing. However, as upcoming resource parents I assume we'll be required to have these. Therefore, I preemptively installed them. It took 4 hours to install all 10 plus 3 others, a different product. The other product I used was Safety 1st Latches. I didn't know they were different. They came in a 14 pack from walmart. The spring and release ones I purchased here on amazon are far better quality. I had only 1 installation issue. As I was pre-drilling holes I drilled through our bathroom cabinet, the 2nd to the last one I was in stalling. :( Oh well, standing up you don't really notice it and I will eventually just fill it with some putty. The screws were fine as long as you predrilled.

We bought hoping they were going to fit the dresser drawers but they didn't. Know where you want to put them in the drawer but don't be surprised if they don't work as expected. The latches themselves are fine, they only just fit on certain drawers and doors.
