A LowCost version of these child door locks wanted???
Hi All,
Does anyone have any idea on what I 'd search for to find a low cost version of the product in this 2P Baby Safety Cabinet
Lock child Door Lock Safety 1st on eBay (end time 12-Jan-11 02:58:14 GMT) please?
I'm not that bothered about him getting kocks and bruises but I'd hate to see what would happen if he got in the cupboard under the sink
with the chemicals etc...
Cheers,
Steve

Would something like a reusable tie-rap do or do you need it to be flush?
Adrian
Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

My inlaws had these type things when I first started going out with swmbo for her little brother who was 3 at the time. Problem is they caught me out
everytime as well.lol. I've just redone my kitchen (although havn't the need for child proof stuff at the moment) but when looking through
magazines and catalogues you can get cages that have locks on them that you can keep chemicals and things in. I think theres also a magnetic catch
system for he doors as well.

Get some short ratchet clamps, they will slow him down. Ikea has something like them, they are called Patrull or there's something on
Amazon that might do the job.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Another vote for the Ikea ones. Fitted to all of our kitchen cabinets, and some of the units in the lounge / dining room!

I used some B&Q chain and a numbered padlock, if it can keep a compulsive eater out of the biscuit cupboard (except for a finger-wide gap) then
it'll keep kids out.

I'd forgotten about reusable cable ties...
I knew of the drawer opener/stoppers, but they wouldn't really work on the cupboard I want to protect!
The cable tie suggestion though, led me to realise that all I need is a bit of velcro!
Thanks All!!!

We just moved that stuff up to higher cupboards till the boys were old enough to do as they were told.

I did the same as Simon!
Really locost + incentive to dump some of the old crap that was in the cupboard since the kitchen was built.
Regards
Hugh

They will work out how to get round the locks. Best to put harmful stuff well out of the way in my experience.

If they can learn how to get around the locks, then they're "with it" enough to learn not to go in there....

Not true in my experience, I have the ikea ones and my boy's been opening them since he was about 18 months/2 year old. He's not with it
to know what's poisonous though. Then again my daughter never went near the cupboards, only the biscuit one, lol. Boys will be boys.
My stuff is kept out of the way, plus with the Ikea locks on.
