3.0 out of 5 stars Great for cabinets, not for drawers, September 6, 2005

My daughter loves to play in the bathroom drawers, so we installed these latches. Turns out that the latches are too long. She can still open the drawers wide enough to get her little hands inside. They work great on cabinets, however.

These work, but they are more difficult to use than competitor's. They are wider, so they're sturdier, but it makes it more difficult to push down to get the cabinet/drawer to open. Also, if you have used older versions, the holes to screw these in don't match, either on the latches or the catch. Also, they are so long, little hands can pry the cabinet open far enough to get inside unless you put the catch so far back inside that then it's in the way of whatever you have inside the cabinet. We think the child safety cabinet latch by Prime-Line are a much easier and equally effective solution.

This review is from: Safety First Cabinet and Drawer Latches - 12-Pack (Baby Product)

These latches work pretty well so long as you can install the catch piece far enough back on the cabinet door frame that the door, when latched, doesn't open wide enough for little hands to squeeze through. I had to remove and re-install the first one I tried because my son could easily fit his hands through the gap. They work nicely once you get them installed properly. Unfortunatley, they're a nightmare to install. My kitchen cabinets are made of a very hard composite material and I broke a drill bit off trying to drill holes for the screws. The latch won't work if it's not perfectly aligned, so it takes some time to position the pieces. They do include sticky pads to help with this, but the pads didn't seem to want to stick to my cabinets and I ended up getting my husband to hold the pieces while I put in the screws.
