Cabinet Locks

NBiancamano · October 2013

Are there any cabinet locks that are adhesive vs. putting a nail into the cabinet to connect it? I rent and my landlord does not allow me to put screw into the cabinets...My son is getting into everything and it's getting hard to keep up when my sitters are over!

We used thick rubber bands instead. Was cheap and has been very effective.

where do you hook each end up?

jenniatlanta · October 2013

the cabinets that we have are side by side (the two doors). I loop the rubber bands around the the cabinets knobs, essentially linking the two doors. So, when LO tries to pull open one, neither one opens. Not more than what she could get a finger into. It has been pretty effective. The only problem is when you have a single cabinet door with nothing to link it too. We have a few of those. I just moved some stuff around to where she can play with the tupperware or pots/pans if she gets in there. Hasn't been too much of an issue.

There are some adhesive bands that work really well for us. They do get pricey though.

The only cabinets we safety locked were the bathroom ones and the cabinet under the kitchen sink. Otherwise its a free for all. But we did use the kind with screws so I have no advice on that.

Yes. We have safety 1st latches that are adhesive. I got them at BRU and they are dark grey with an adjustable strap. I love them! Just make sure you snap the strap in tightly so it doesnt come open.

Oops I just checked the link above, those are the ones we use.

We have used these:

Kidco Adhesive Mount Cabinet and Drawer Lock

They definitely work but can loosen over time and with use, so on the drawers that we open a lot, we've had to replace a couple.
