Define "a little while". I have Model S331 at http://www.kidcoinc.com/safety/safety.htm#locks and so far they're working great. I installed them starting mid-June. The only problem so far is that I installed one of them just a little low, and if you yank hard enough, you can open one of the cabinets. (Fortunately, there's nothing really dangerous or breakable in that one....) The drawback is that they're very expensive. A single cabinet lock at Babies R Us is $6.99. If I buy them through One Step Ahead, I get a slight discount when I get 2 -- they're 2 for $11.98. > I'm not allowed to do anything to my > kitchen, since it isn't mine.

That's kids for ye. > :o) If you have some of the cabinets in pairs where the handles of 2 of them are right next to each other, there are various products to hold the 2 handles together so that neither cabinet can be opened. There's one on the first page I posted a link to, S110. (But most of the stuff from Kidco is on the expensive side; S110 is $4.95 at One Step Ahead, which is a bit much, IMO. There are cheaper products that are almost as good. (Saftey 1st is a good brand, in my experience.) > Sonja > Off to rescue the telephone.... <sigh> AGAIN..... I know how *that* goes. Now that I've located the boxes with a couple more cordless phones, I'm going to set one up in here, and have the base unit WAY out of reach. (Later this week, though. I emptied 9 boxes yesterday, some with my mother's help....)
