bethera says "Safety 1st cabinet lock is easy to use" about Safety 1st Cabinet Flex Lock

The safety first Cabinet Flex lock is easy to use, but not too easy that your kids can get into things. We have several of these locks and they work really well. They are a bit challenging to get off, but I can get them off pretty quickly. If you had arthritis or something like that, you would have trouble using these locks since you have to push the button really hard and pull to get it off. The best part about these is that you don't have to install anything on your cabinets or furniture. You just need two handles together to use it. I would be annoyed if I had this on something I had to get into several times a day, but safety is more important than convenience. My son who seemed to be able to get into everything still can not open these locks and he is 6 years old. Having four kids, I really need safety products that are easy to use and effective. My daughters have no interest in trying to get these open.

I ended up returning these cabinet locks as I had such a hard time trying to get them open myself. I ended up buying different ones that I am very happy with now.

sweety2070 says "Excellent at keeping kids out but hard to open one handed." about Safety 1st Cabinet Flex Lock

This Safety 1st Cabinet Flex Lock is great for keeping your toddler out of cabinets. It works best on cabinets with the knob handles. Make sure it is tightened tight enough though or it can be slipped off of the knobs by a determined toddler. It can be difficult to open one handed though if you are trying to handle a kid while opening it....

swimmachic says "Definitly keeps the little ones, and sometimes adults Out." about Safety 1st Cabinet Flex Lock

swimmachic — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:33:57 GMT

This cabinet flex lock works very well at keeping my little one out of the cupboard where the cleaning supplies are kept, however some of its drawbacks are that it can be difficult for adults to use too, It is kind of tricky to operate. The Safety 1st Cabinet Flex Lock is only good on two door cabinets, so you have to buy something entirely different (and not necessarily as effective) for your single door cabinets....

aiden8905 says "great lock " about Safety 1st Cabinet Flex Lock

aiden8905 — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 16:12:05 GMT

I really do like this lock for the cabinet that I use it on because I know that my son can not get into it. They only problem is that it takes 2 hands to unlatch and is kind of hard to undo. It is better after you get used to it but at first it is hard. But it is a very sturdy lock....

BethanyOT says "Very effective, can be tricky to manipulate." about Safety 1st Cabinet Flex Lock

BethanyOT — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 02:40:40 GMT

We have tried a few different kinds of cabinet locks on the lower kitchen cabinets, this is the one we stuck with. It is very effective, as there is no way our two year old could figure it out and even if he could, no one his size could have the strength and fine motor skills to unlock it. The only downside is that there is no way to unlock it with just one hand. You must have two free hands to get that done, but then that's one reason why it is so effective. Overall, a good, quality, sturdy product....

mhenshall says "Very hard to release the lock" about Safety 1st Cabinet Flex Lock

mhenshall — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 14:08:14 GMT

I kept having problems with my daughter getting into all the cabinets. I am a first time mom so it took me a little while to realize that they do make cabinet locks and it probably would be a good investment to purchase some. My daughter loves to get into everything, so I finally went and purchased these cabinet locks. The problem I have run into is that once the lock has been locked, it takes at least three hands to get them to unlock. I have had to open the cabinets and have had to get my husband to assist me with pressing the yellow button and having him pull the sides out. They turned out to be more trouble than they were worth. I now have the kind that you screw in to the inside of the cabinet and just push down to get the cabinet open. It may take a while to get the screws in, but once they are installed, they work much better and efficentlyl....

Bryan-Carey says "Protect Your Children With Ease" about Safety 1st Cabinet Flex Lock

Bryan-Carey — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 01:14:27 GMT

Youngsters have a habit of getting into places where they don't belong and one area where this problem is common and potentially dangerous is in the kitchen. And one product that is designed to keep children out of harm's way is the Safety 1st Cabinet Flex Lock, a device that keeps children from opening cabinet doors.

Child Lock Commentary:

Safety 1st Cabinet Flex Lock is an odd- looking product that features two flexible plastic lock straps that are attached to a plastic base. These lock straps are white in color, made from plastic, and feature a jagged edge, similar to a zipper. The plastic straps are anchored around the knobs on cabinets or through the handles, if handles exist. In order to move the straps, the button in the middle and the corresponding side button must be pressed at the same time, offering enough deterrent to prevent kids from getting inside.

The main thing that attracted me to these locks as opposed to others is the fact that, unlike latches, these locks do not...
