Locking containers to store cleaning products under sink?

CubbyMama · March 2009

Does such a thing exist? DD can undo the "child-proof" latches under our kitchen and bathroom sinks now, and I need a semi-quick fix that preferably doesn't involve drilling more holes in our practically-new cabinets until we're ready to choose and install hardware. I thought maybe if we put locking containers under the sinks to store the harmful stuff in, that would be an easy solution for now...but I'm not sure where to find containers that would be the right size/shape AND have locks. Anyone know?

Do you have knobs on your cabinets? If so, you can use those things that go around both knobs and hold the doors shut. Otherwise, I would just move the cleaning products. It would be too much of a hassle (for me) to get into a locked box every time I wanted to get a cleaning product out.

We had to take out ll the cleaning products and put them high up in the pantry. ?DS can get through anything. ANYTHING!

DS was able to undo the childproof cabinet locks, so we got some of these.

My DS isn't even 2 yet though, so maybe thats why these work better. But he can't figure these out. They also don't drill into cabinets, they stick on.

We don't have any knobs/handles on our cabinets or drawers right now...I thought about just buying some knobs at Target and installing them just under the sinks and on a few drawers in the bathrooms, but I don't want to go putting random holes in all the cabinets and then later want to pick out nice hardware and have extra holes everywhere afterward, if they don't match up.

I could just move the stuff in the kitchen, but we don't really have any other storage in our bathroom besides under the sinks, so I'm not sure where I could put things like my saline solution, lotions, mouth wash, etc. Our medicine cabinet isn't near big enough to hold everything DD could potentially dump out or drink!
