Safety 1st Grip 'n Go Cabinet Lock Review

Safety 1st
Grip 'n Go Cabinet Lock

What is it?
The Grip 'n Go Cabinet Lock by Safety 1st is a different type of cabinet lock then Safety 1st has previously made. Safety 1st advertises the SecureTech lock indicator which assures you that the device is locked or unlocked.  Made to secure two cabinets together, you simply open the lock up by holding down a small release button on the bottom of the lock.  You then place the Grip 'n Go Cabinet Lock around the cabinet handles or knobs that you would like to secure. Simply push in the release button and hold it down while you slide the lock tight.  When you have it as tight as you can, release the release button.  There is a little sliding picture that shows your cabinet is locked.

My Viewpoint!
After trying another cabinet lock Safety 1st Cabinet Slide Locks, I needed a product that would keep my cabinets locked, secure and wouldn't break!  Skeptical of using another Safety 1st Cabinet Lock product, I still went ahead and purchased  the Grip 'n Go Cabinet LockS.  My first thought when I saw it was that it did look more sturdy and I liked the SecureTech lock feature promoted on the packaging.

I only bought one package, which contained 2 Grip 'n Go Cabinet Locks to make sure I wasn't going to have a cabinet lock nightmare like I had with the previous product.

So far, I have to say that I am very happy with the Grip 'n Go Cabinet Locks by Safety 1st.  I have pulled, pried, twisted, shook and basically went crazy on this lock and it keep my cabinet doors secure and didn't break!  It's also a little nicer looking than the cabinet slide locks.
I plan to go and buy more for the rest of my cabinets that I would like to keep securely shut from the children.

I do have one gripe about the Grip 'n Go Cabinet Locks by Safety 1st - when I slide it together and it's securely locked, the SecureTech picture does not always state that it is locked, it will show the unlocked picture.  The SecureTech feature that is supposed to make this product so great doesn't always work.  I double check the locks to make sure they are secure and move on.  I never rely on the SecureTech picture.

When trying to keep your cabinets locked from children, I recommend the Grip 'n Go Cabinet Locks by Safety 1st.  They do their job even if the picture doesn't say so!
