Works well
These work well, but should come with extra adhesive. If you are off by just a little bit, you have wasted the part, until you get more double sided tape.

seems like it would be a pain
But really isn't. During the day I use the magnet, and in the evening I flick the back of the magnet to "turn it off" and reset it before I go to bed. I don't do it on all of the cabinets, only as I get into each one. Great!! Only adhesives... not screws!!!

Great but sometimes installation problems
My child easily started defeating my other locks (that you push down to unlatch) at 16 months. He reaches his arm in there and undoes the lock... so I am switching to these. These are very nice except when installation doesn't go well. These must be installed almost exactly correct for them to work right. A little too high or too low and there could be problems. They are not easily adjustable and can be very frustrating if not installed exactly correct (won't latch right, won't close right, won't open right, etc.). The company should give more consideration to be able to make small adjustments when installing. That is my main "complaint" and thus I'm not rating it 5 stars. Oh, also these are rather expensive but I suppose they are worth it considering that my other locks were more of a waste because they had to be replaced when they were defeated.

greatest locks ever!!!
these locks are easy to install and even easier to use. they are fool-proof and don't permit cabinets or drawers to open far enough for any pinched fingers. they also preserve the beauty of your cabinets.

Best lock out there!
We have purchased several types of locks and all were very difficult to install, but these were extremely easy and work very well. When we were installing them, one didn't work. We called the company and they sent us a replacement immediately. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone.

These locks are the best
The Kidco magnetic locks are the best. Really, any of the babyproofing products by Kidco are far superior to other brands. These locks are incredibly easy to install, I did our whole kitchen (about 12 cabinets) in about 30 minutes. They don't require you to drill into the cabinet, and they also don't show on the outside. They also have a deactivation mechanism if you are working in the kitchen and going in and out of the cabinets a lot.

We ended up purchasing some extra magnetic keys (you can find them in stores, not always available on Amazon.com) because we often misplace them, but you can put them on the fridge which seems to work well.

An absolute must-have!
This lock is the best! There is no way the kids can get into it. It doesn't even leave enough room to pinch fingers, like others do. Be sure to buy the key, as it comes separately. I use them in my kitchen and my bathrooms, and have been thrilled. I did use the adhesive to stick them on, then added the screws for extra security. I plan to have these through many kids, and feel confident they will hold. I highly recommend this product.

Great product
These locks are great and require no drilling. I had previously bought tot locks, but they require drilling to install and are a pain. These just stick on, but they stay in place and make it so children cannont open the cabinet doors. They also come with screws if you would rather attach them that way. I have them on all my bottom cabinets in the kitchen and bath and are definately worth the money.

Only locks to use
We have been housesitting for a couple who installed these locks for us. They are wonderful! The doors to the cabinets stay tightly shut (almost sealed) so there are no mashed fingers and no frustrations from being able to see just far enough inside to provoke more curiosity. They are easy to open when you want to release the magnet. We're getting ready to go back to our own home and I'm going to order a slew of them.

best magnetic lock on the market
These locks not only work very well, but I was able to install them in under 5 minutes with the enclosed screws. You don't have to use the screws as the adhesive seemed to hold well, but who knows what will happen over time. I originally ordered the tot-lok magnetic locks, but they were very difficult to install, especially in tight places.
