  • They're quick and easy to install. Get the job done: keep the kids out of places that could harm them. Mar 08, 2020

  • My toddler figured these out within a week. Save your money. Jan 16, 2020

  • Easy to install and protects our very adventurous son from getting into too much trouble! Nov 28, 2019

  • These are good BUT beware! If you have a drawer directly above the one you're installing the latch to, it will not work! We learned this the hard way. Sep 30, 2019

    I used these with my first child and it was a waste of time and money. She was able to figure them out in no time. Sep 25, 2019

  • Does not work well at all...will not stick to cabinets what so ever and hard to get into place. Please don’t waste your money! Sep 25, 2019

  • Worked great keeping the kids out of the cabinets. relatively easy to install and easy to use. Sep 04, 2019

  • These are a definite must with curious toddlers! I have put them on all my lower cabinets and in the bathroom! They have worked great so far even get the occasional “ugh” from my husband Jul 11, 2019

  • If they arent installed exactly correct it can be a pain to close them without having to push down on the tab. Little hands can still reach in and grab things. Jun 26, 2019

  • These were great but once my son got a little older (18 months), he broke the plastic. Jan 21, 2019

  • They’re just ok. I wish there was a stronger one Nov 03, 2018

  • Love these!My daughter is no longer able to access or remove any of my dishes and pots. Sep 20, 2018

    • Lisa R.

    • Gayville, South Dakota

    Perfect to protect little fingers. Great price point and they work wonderfully. Simple and easy to install and easy to use once installed Aug 28, 2018

  • My son can still try to grab things inside the cupboards with this! Aug 23, 2018

    • Ami J.

    • Phenix City, Alabama

    Somewhat difficult to install just right so that it catches and my little one can still pull them open. Aug 02, 2018

  • These work great on our kitchen and bathroom cabinets! I now have piece of mind that my little one is not going to get into something he shouldn't get into! Easy to install and very sturdy! Jul 05, 2018

    • Mindy J.

    • philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    I only used one because I gave up after making holes into my furniture. Not work the time and effort Jul 03, 2018

    • Amber A.

    • United States of America

    These are really hard to put on but work great once you get them set up. May 27, 2018

  • Works great. My son likes to pinch his fingers in his dresser and these helped him not able to open up the drawers. Never had a problem with them coming off. Apr 27, 2018

  • Tricky to add to at first but super easy to use once mounted Mar 21, 2018

  • These don't work at all. They are super easy for your little one to figure out. Mar 04, 2018

  • Tthese were pretty good at keeping the kids out of the cabinets, unless they got a little bent. If you bend them down too far then the child could get into the cabinets easily. Feb 23, 2018

  • Affordable.... and they do work to keep things from coming out but boy those fingers can still get shut in a cupboard since they don’t seal tightly like a magnetic one would. Ouch, it hurts my heart. Feb 08, 2018

  • I had these installed on all my kitchen cabinets and it only took a couple months for my 2yo to figure out how to open them. After all the time it took to screw them in and then remove, I’d skip these May 29, 2020

  • This doesn't work at all. My daughter can just open up all the cabinets with no problem. Feb 20, 2019

  • Our daughter was too smart for these - the door can still open an inch or two and she could reach her little arms inside and grab things. These were a waste of money for us - get the magnetic ones. Aug 30, 2018

  • Seem to pull out farther than necessary but keeps the little one out of the cabinets...for now. Jul 11, 2018

  • Keeps kiddos out of the cupboards. Almost 18 months old and hasn't figured out how to get past this obstacle yet! May 19, 2018

    • Anca C.

    • Wood Dale, Illinois

    broke withing a week. tried to use it in the bathroom where baby isn't allowed. he pulled maybe twice on it and it snapped. Feb 21, 2018

  • Easy to install. Does the job. Worth every penny Jan 28, 2018

    • Shay O.

    • Longmont, Colorado

    These are just as much work to install as the magnet locks and kiddos can get their fingers stuck in the opening and then slam hands in them - NOT safe Jan 27, 2018

  • They do the job. Jan 05, 2018

    • Patty M.

    • Winchester, California

    We have these bit they only some what worm. Our.little man can push his hand in and still try to pull.thibgs out Sep 28, 2017

  • These tend to wear out over time and it's pretty simple for kids to figure out. Plus, there is a gap when the door is being pulled on which still allows little hands to reach in. Jun 27, 2017

    • Katie G.

    • United States of America

    Work most of the time but for a persistent toddler they can become a game...my 16 month old has figured these out. Jun 21, 2017

    • Jenn M.

    • Northeast, Wisconsin

    These latches are a life saver! Not only are they easy to install, they keep nosey tots out of dangerous cabinets! Definitely worth purchasing and installing! May 16, 2017

  • Had a difficult time installing these and once installed my toddler figured them out and snapped the longer piece. So they aren't durable nor strong. I wouldn't buy again May 10, 2017

  • Life savors! They are easy for me to use but hard to my daughter! Apr 14, 2017

  • They work great Feb 23, 2017

    • Kate S.

    • Asheville, North Carolina

    These worked for a year but they start breaking off and loosening up (they get too bent and don't latch anymore). They were not overly annoying to have on all our cupboards though. Feb 21, 2017

  • These definitely do the job, but the installation took a while. I also keep forgetting they are there but when I open a cabinet I am quickly reminded Jan 11, 2017

    • Dawn E.

    • Billerica, Massachusetts

    Too hard to install properly. Returned. Oct 12, 2016

  • Tedious to install but does an awesome job keeping kiddos out of cabinets. Oct 04, 2016

  • Have these throughout our kitchen - work great, great price. Mar 16, 2016

  • They do the job but the clips have to be adjusted every so often bc they bend down and then don't stay latched. Jul 23, 2015

  • Easy to install, but stops catching after frequent use. Jul 13, 2015

  • These are easy to install, and work well keeping kids out (and are easy for adults to open!) Nov 02, 2014

  • My husband spent hours installing these. When I came home with my 2 year old, he went right over to the cabinet and foiled this system. Not sophisticated enough. Oct 06, 2014

    • Kali P.

    • Everett, Washington

    Rather than drill holes in to our cabinetry I would rather just use a side-by-side cabinet lock. Sep 26, 2014

  • These did not work at all; took me an hour to install and they are impossibly difficult to line up, my one year old got into the cupboard within minutes of me finishing to the best of my abilities. Invest in something better!! Jul 28, 2014
