Original Cord Lock (Black)

***Update with kid now 2 years old*** Our kid is now 2 and these locks are still the most reliable of anything we have bought. I’ve already put them on a couple more doors now that he gets into EVERYTHING. Anywhere we have these though we don’t have to worry if he might somehow open it. Great investment! We have a lot of different items in our house we needed to baby proof including a cabinet in our dining room that holds all of our China and some other table settings. These have a fairly specific use, especially being black, but they’re exactly what we needed. Since putting this on the pair doors, our little one can no longe open it and after trying a couple times he got tired of trying and has since stopped. Being black they blend right in with our furniture. We have a few more pieces of black furniture in our room that we will eventually use these on but he’s not in there enough to lock up all of those yet. Very happy so far. They are easy to adjust to different uses, easy to open, and don’t look obnoxious or stick out. Would definitely recommend but maybe not for something that is opened and closed a lot.

I only needed one of these, but figured a pack of two might come in handy. We needed one to lock our tv cabinet. It worked great for that - reviewers who say they don't hold probably only used the first locking mechanism (there are two, and it needs to be tight). I like how it's a good firm hold, looks good (unlike most products out there), and it doesn't leave any marks or permanent installation bits. I also like how easy and simple it is to take on and off. Now, here's the coolest bit. My son was getting into a closet that we didn't want him getting into, and now that he knows how to open simple doorknobs we were struggling with the idea of having to buy a new knob that locks, or get a latch system (again, permanent solutions). Then, I figured, why not simply loop this wonderful bad-boy over the knob, and the other portion over the lock plate (which in our case protruded a bit). Wow! It worked perfectly! I highly recommend these. We don't need more right now, but we would recommend them to any friend of ours.

Very simple to use and sturdy.

These worked fine for my kitchen cabinets where the knobs are close together. Just like the pictures you see. Doors won't open...Great! However I purchased this for my hall cabinets (which is located just off my kids play area) that I use as storage for crafts. These "kinda" work but I think the issue is that the knobs are too far apart. There is about a 2 to 3 inch wood bar/slat that sits behind the cabinet doors (not the case with my kitchen cabinets the door close with no gap). So when you put them on and try to open the door it will open. If you pull hard enough the lock/latch will slip even further. They still can't open it all the way which is far and away better than the cheap plastic ones I had before. Something to keep in mind when purchasing. Make sure your cabinet door knobs are close together.

I haven't had these installed but a week, so I'm giving a 5 for durability right now because they have held up so far. I bought the black cords because they match my entertainment center and they blend so well, you won't notice them unless you are looking at them. The cords are so easy to use and are great for knobs that are too small for those plastic sizer licks that you'll find at the store. These work great because they completely wrap around the knobs and are tight. The doors do come off the latch if pulled, but they do not open due to the tightness of the cord. I like how easy these were to install but all how easy they are to take off. No sticky mess, no drilling into my cabinets, and no ugly plastic locks on my pretty cabinets. I recommended them to my parents for when we come because they are so easy to install and take off.

After trying the U-shaped slide lock (Which was too thick to fit behind my cabinet knobs), I tried the Safety First Grip n Go cabinet lock as well as the Safety First Flex-Lock. These other locks not only kept my one year old grand-daughter out, they were both so difficult and frustrating for me to remove that I was tempted to take up swearing! They were both horrible! Then while surfing through Amazon's baby department I stumbled upon these locks. I watched the video instructions and read the reviews from other users. I was so convinced these would work I ordered 9 pairs! I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!! These locks are amazing. They work, and are easy to put on and remove. You can't do them one handed, but I don't even care! I will say that it's VERY important to slide the little button up to 'lock' the cords after your tighten them or the cords will slip apart the first time you try to open the cabinet! The instructions are easy to follow and the video provided is even easier to understand. If I could give these locks ten stars I would!

We have oddly spaced cabinets and none of the "commercial" products seemed to fit. My daughter actually took one set off. We got these and they seem to be working. What a simple idea and great concept. I think the pull is too complicated for her to attempt a this stage. They are certainly not parent proof (we can easily get to our items when we need to.) Plus I LOVE that these are made in the USA and shipped quickly. Just got them this week, so I will add to the review later on. I am hoping they are durable. The cost is very reasonable. For those of you Gaspard & Lisa watchers "triumph!". ***July 17, 2012 UPDATE*** Am still very pleased with the product. My biggest problem is remember to put them back. When they are on and closed she can't get into the cabinet. She tries but no luck. Would definitely recommend. My LO is 14 months old and they are working at this point. I purchased Safety 1st cabinet locks and they were either recalled or wouldn't fit on our cabinets.

This is simply perfect for underneath your bathroom vanity, kitchen sink, or furniture hutches. Nothing to install or damage your cabinets. Just slip it on over the handles, tighten the clasp, and you're done. The clasp mechanism is easy for adults to slip up and down and has so far deterred my toddler from even trying to figure it out. I wish all my cabinets were this easy to childproof! The seller also sent a short but thoughtful personal letter with the shipment that described how she started her small business as a young mom who just invented her own solution to a child-proofing product void. She utilizes domestic suppliers (as much as possible) and gives people with disabilities the much-valued opportunity to have a small but important job helping her package and prepare her product for shipment. My mentally-disabled aunt has had a similar business-owner give her this same opportunity for many years now and I can't tell you how important it's been to her and her value as a productive working adult. If only ALL U.S. business owners could give back just a little! On top of buying an awesome product, it made me feel good about who I was buying from. Hands down - 5 stars to the seller and 5 stars to the product.

I purchased this product, put it on the doors, made sure to follow the website instructions to tighten. 18 month old daughter had it broken in ten minutes. The piece that hold everything together is cheap plastic, and it can't take any stress or it snaps. I'm going to try gluing it together, but who knows if that will hold.
