I was excited to try these out, from what I'd heard they are the best. I had read other reviews saying that the installation was difficult, however our only problem was that because our cupboards have a little silicon bumper pad in the corner, the foam on the sticky installation guide wasn't thick enought to hit the cupboard...we just doubled two of them up and it was fine.
As for the function of these locks...they are awesome! The traditional cabinet locks allow you to open them a finger width in order to push down the plastic piece to open them all the way...with Tot Lok you can't open the cupboard even a little bit, which eliminates any finger smashing for your little one. Admittedly, it was a hard habit to get into, using the key every time...however I soon got the hang of remembering to grab it, and I also make great use of the "permanent unlock" bar, which you can flip to keep the cabinet unlocked if you like. This way, if I am cleaning up and need to throw paper towels, old toast, leftovers, etc into the garbage under the sink, I can just keep that cupboard unlocked while I'm doing my thing.
These loks are completely invisible on the outside, and not bad looking on the inside. The hardest part was introducing our new cherry cabinets to the drill bit!
I would buy these again and again and recommend them to all parents!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome product!, September 2, 2006

My husband installed 4 of these locks on my sewing table. It took him approximately 45 minutes to install all 4 (Including time for me to empty out the overfull drawers!). My sewing cabinet has 3 drawers and 1 cabinet.

They come with a sticky template that he thought was wonderful. My drawers are over 3/4 inches thick and with the extensions the locks worked great! They came with a drill bit marker to make sure you stop before you drill through the front of the drawer.

I have heard that the older packages did not include the drill marker or the templates. I guess they have corrected the issues people have been complaining about.

Pros: Drill bit marker, sticky templates, ease of use, the drawer does not open at all (keeps curious little fingers out of my pins!), little red latch to keep drawer in open position if you are going to use it a lot, and super strong!

Cons: Pricey and instruction sheet had a lot of acronyms but if you read through it before installing it is okay.

Now we know they work great and are fairly easy to install we are getting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great lock for climbers, February 20, 2006

My son's first reaction to his new 'big boy' furniture was to open the drawers and climb up. We tried the lesser expensive spring locks, but he can still open the drawers a little bit and climb up. That's when I found the tot locks and the drawers do not budge unless you have the key. I love the option where he can't pry the drawer open to climb. Spring locks are good in our kitchen for easy frequent access, but for a bedroom tot locks are perfect! I've read reviews where they are difficult to install, I had no issues at all with directions or install.
