not satisfactory

We tried using these latches on various drawers and doors. They never worked well. Our two-year old found she could still get by them if she opened them quickly. They don't seem to grab well and are very difficult to install.

There are better choices

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 infant safety cabinet latch by Prime-Line are a much easier and equally effective solution.

Terrible

I installed these on 6 of my kitchen cupboards and they are terrible. They are real flimsy plastic that warps when you tighten the screws. One broke in a week and the others keep going out of alignment so they hit the door and stop it from shutting.

I bought one made by Parents Magazine and it is excellent. It is strong, has adhesive tape to hold it in place while installing the screws and folds down for when you don't need them anymore but might have more infantren later.
