I bought this product to lock my refrigerator door from my Dad who has dementia and unnecessarily raids the refrigerator in the middle of the night. Works great for my purpose.

Does just what it says, May 13, 2010
This review is from: Refrigerator Door Lock (Office Product)
My wife and I decided to buy this because our autistic son has a habit of raiding the refrigerator. We didn't want to permanently alter or damage the refrigerator (i.e. no drilling), so we decided to give this product a try. We are more than pleased with it.
The directions that came with the lock were clear and direct, and installation was quick and simple. We waited the recommended 48 hours for a full adhesive bond, and when we snapped the padlock on the refrigerator raiding stopped cold (pun intended).
Everything is very durably constructed: the plates appear to be enameled metal, and the cables are rubber/plastic coated metal. The padlock that came with it was a keyed brass Master lock, not a cheap steel or aluminum one. The finish on the plates and cables is white, not off-white, and matches our refrigerator exactly. The adhesive has worked extremely well so far, and we didn't need any super glue to enhance the bond.
Please be aware that the green scrub pad that comes with the kit does not just clean the adhesive contact area -- it also removes the gloss from the paint. I assume this is to facilitate better adhesion -- either that, or I scrubbed too hard. Not a big deal, but it does mean that when the time comes to remove the lock we're going to have two dull spots on the fridge.

This Fridge Door Lock Works, August 23, 2009
This review is from: Refrigerator Door Lock (Office Product)
I work in a school servicing several teenaged students with autism. The refrigerator is a frequent target. My previous attempts to secure the door were shattered, literally. This one has held quite nicely.
