Munchkin Lindam Baby Proofing Xtra Guard Latch with Dual Function. Cupboard locks for children, suitable for cabinets, draws, appliances and more. No tools needed. 1 Pack

I bought these for both fridges as my dog was opening the fridge on a regular basis in search of chicken. I've had a few close calls with the fridge being left open and overheating whilst trying to cool the entire utility room as he obviously hadn't learnt to close it again.These work really well. You can choose the angle to attach them - I have one stuck to the side of a door on one fridge and on the front of another fridge - and once stuck they are really not coming off. They are opened multiple times a day and there is no apparent wear at all in the few months they've been there.You have to squeeze two sides together firmly to open them (both ends are detachable) so I guess this would be tough for little kids to master, but not having kids I don't know how dexterous they'd be. I can say with certainty that it's flummoxed the dog :DEDIT: I wrote this review in March 2018 after I'd been using the latches for quite some time. It's now May 2019 and both are still working perfectly. They've not budged, still firm and continue to be opened multiple times a day. Can't rate these highly enough :DEDIT AGAIN: It's the end of April 2020, both latches are still firmly attached, fully functional and still used multiple times a day. Have to say, they are a superb buy, don't hesitate. Oh and the dog has now taken to waiting for me to open the catches before shouldering me aside so he can have a nosy in the fridge.FINAL EDIT: It's March 2021, nearly 3 1/2 years since the latches were put on, they're still there, fully functional, nothing broken or snapped and they're still opened/closed multiple times a day.Sadly I lost my boy a couple of weeks ago but despite being nearly 15, mostly blind and deaf he still knew where the fridges were right to the end and patiently stared in their direction waiting for them to open. I miss rummaging for snacks with him.Anyway, great locks, don't hesitate, they're simple but built to last. I added another couple of pictures so you can see what they look like after a few years of use.FOLLOW UP: Both fridges dies in the same week at Christmas 2021, it was slightly traumatic. I figured I'd try save the catches and slid a flat blade between the sticker and the fridge. They came off really easily with no damage and all I need to get to use them again is some more strong 3M sticky pads. I was super impressed.Also turns out that it may have been me leaving the fridge open upon occasion as after a few months with my new fridge - that has an excellent seal - I've found it open once or twice and I've no dog to blame! Oops. I probably ought to install one of the catches again eh.

ignore the haters.these are good and strong, but the strength of the adhesive is because you need to clean the surface and leave the pads for 24 hours after attaching.we have used them for years and when we got rid of our old fridge, we remove the pad with a sharp wedge and we stuck it to the new fridge using a 3M pad.

This is an excellent product easy to install and has great adhesive pads that fix into place securely. I bought this a my fridge would not stay closed on the doors magnetic strip and the fridge is only a year old so I was disappointed until I found this guard latch it made it close properly and no more fridge door coming open.I'm disabled and use an electric wheelchair i found it easy to fit and easy to use it's not fiddly or awkward to open at all.One thing I did do was clean the surface with alcohol wipe to remove any residue on the fridge as I do polish my white goods and to ensure the pads stuck on I just cleaned the areas left to dry and it's stuck perfectly. I use my fridge a lot so it's used all day and night with no issues at all after one week it's still stuck on securely.I can totally recommend this product and as it's easy for adults to use as long as they have good dexterity but children would not be able to open it as it's need a firm press of both the buttons to open it as you can see in the picture it just clips off

These are pricier than a lot of the other child locks on the market, but then I've also found these to be the most effective.Other brands that I've previously tried have been foiled by my cunning toddler.However the great thing about these is that although my toddler can probably figure out how these locks open, he physically can't squeeze with enough force to unlock the catch.So these are great, if the adults have free range of movement. However if the adults have any mobility issues in their hands they may find these tricky to open.In effect they may be too effective for some.They're incredibly easy to install, just pull the tab and stick to desired surface. I've used these on mdf wood and solid oak, adhesion has remained over the last 6 months or so.There's enough stretch in the catch for this to be useful at different angles and positions, so it's fairly versatile.Ultimately after trying several different locks these are now the only ones I have in the house, thanks to a mischievous toddler I have around 10 in the house and will probably end up buying more!

This worked great.grandson must have been watching us open it.so at the age of 3 years old he can now open this device and luckily for him help himself to all the lollies in the freezer lol

I have tried several child proofing solutions in the past. I was originally reticent to try a product which attached to the outside of my cupboards, for obvious aesthetic reasons. Unfortunately, all previous attempts have failed. Internal magnetic locks have failed, with the magnets not always engaging so not allowing cupboards to open, adhesive failing or worst of all just ripping off entirely, often taking some of the cupboards internals with them.I have now abandoned the dream of hidden locks, and I'm glad I have. In these Lindam locks, I think we have the solution. They are so easy to install, taking seconds. Peal and place. Done (well, they do need to cure for 24 hours after taking the backing off, but that's no hardship). They provide a good strong lock and the adhesive seems really strong. Not sure how easy they will be to take off after the kids are old enough though! The fact you can see them and can confirm they are locked is also an advantage I never considered while using the internally locking products. Very pleased and have ordered some more!

Handy to keep little kids from raiding the freezer and fridge. Has lasted a long time so don't have to worry about them coming off from loosing their stickiness
