Review of Kidco Starter Lock Set

All I can say is WOW!

Drilling HOLES into your cabinets is a scary proposition. But still, you have to be able to do some hazard control when you have a curious baby in your home.

These locks are a great solution to both problems. I was able to install these in 5 minutes flat. This kit comes with what you need to start - 2 locks, a magenet key, and a key holder. This way you can test drive them before ordering more.

I followed the directions exactly wiping the area with alcohol before applying the adhesive and allowing the adhesive to "cure" for 24 hours before use. There's no way anyone is getting into these cabinets without the key which we have opted to put on the fridge instead of using the key holder. It's a magnet. It just makes sense.

You can order additional locks and keys if needed. Great marketing. Great product. Would highly recommend this lock system.

If you cant get it to work, you did something wrong. Read the instructions carefully BEFORE you start to install. The plastic installation "tabs" make it impossible to goof up. The trick is in the sequence. Don't miss a step or you'll be sorry.

Review of KidCo 4-Lock Set

What the previous reviewer didn't realize is that there are 2 different packaging options for this item. The first option is a pack that contains 1 key and 2 locks for people who want to try it out and the second option is to buy the pack that contains 4 locks but no key for those who already bought the starter kit and happened to like the product. So make sure you really read the description of what you're getting if you're buying online. (This one happens do be the 4 locks with no key so you might want to try the starter kit first...I actually rec. it because UNFORTUNATELY the lock doesn't work with all situations because of draw designs) Then on top of that Kidco also sells the key seperately with no locks for those who have the product, love it, and happened to misplace or lose their key OR want to purchase an additional incase they ever lose the 1st key. I will admit that I think it's pretty lame for a company to try to squeeze every penny out of you especially when it probaby only costs 5 cents to make the darn key and especially when you're dealing with child safety products. As far as how well the product works...I LOVE IT and wish it had worked out better with all my draw situations! It's especially great for those cabinet doors that stand alone and don't have another door next to it where you can just buy one of those wrap around door knob locks that require 2 knobs to be side by side. I didn't have as great of luck with my kitchen draws because the draw panel is added on to the actual draw so it isn't flush with where you put the catch. I put 5 stars to bring the rating up because the last reviewer only gave one and it's actually a great product. I know it will outsmart my baby far beyond any cheaper options out there. I installed them with the adhesive tape that comes with it but I plan on reattaching it with the screws also included because I personally feel that the screws will do a better job AND because I love my child more than my freaking cabinet doors for all those worried about messing up your precious wood cabinets...I mean give me a break...the holes are so small anyway and it's totally concealed, only you will know it's there. ALSO, this locks so tight that little fingers/hands can't reach inside small openings (which usually occures with the other types of locks) and pull stuff out. And also there's an option to turn the lock off for in between kids. DEFINITELY CONSIDER THIS PRODUCT!!!!!

Review of Magnet Key and Holder by Kidco (contains 1 key and 1 key holder)

I used these to cat-proof my kitchen cabinets and it works like a charm.I didn't want to permanently install anything or mar my cherry cabinets.I installed them at the top center of the cabinet -- not above the handle. I have large pewter handles on the cabinet and had no issue with the magnet not working. I almost didn't buy them initially because someone said they wouldn't work if you have metal handles, but that wasn't true for me.
