Safety 1st 2 Pk Grip N Go Cabinet Locks

Comments about Safety 1st 2 Pk Grip N Go Cabinet Locks:

We've been using 2 of these for over 3 years. The design is not able to fit on all cabinet doors due to the shape, and it takes a certain angle to slide onto our cabinet lock. We use this under the sink in the kitchen and on the entertainment center middle doors.
When the elder was a baby we left this unlocked just on the sink cabinet and it was enough to deter him, until the day he figured how to remove it. It is not easy to unlock, needing 2 counter acting motions, but that guarantees no child will unlock it! A little practice and it's easy to open 1 handed with dry hands. The negative reviewers need to be more patient and practice a little. It took some practice to get the hang of it, but now that we have we love it!

Near impossible for the parents to operate!

I purchased this product to lock 2 of my lower cabinets now that my 2nd is crawling. I have a similar product from when my 1st was at this age; however, this product is much more difficult to operate than the cabinet lock I already have. It's hard to open and close this thing even when it's not around cabinet handles and your hands are clean and dry. Imagine using it to open the cabinet under the kitchen sink when your hands are wet. No thank you.

As many other reviews have stated, these locks are almost impossible for parents to use (lock sticks and VERY hard to adjust). More importantly, I bought them because it says they fit knobs up to 4.75" apart (and ours are 4.5"); unfortunately, though the entire length may be 4.75, because of the curved top, you can't get them on knobs wider than 4" apart! Taking them back for sure.

I bought this lock thinking it would be easy for me & my husband to get on/off the cabinets. First of all, they do not clasp together enough to put it in a locked position. Second, they are hard to get off once on the cabinet. I felt like I was going to break the lock when I tried to open it straight from the package! I will definitely be returning this product!

I purchased these on a whim because I was tired of waiting around for my husband to install the safety first wide latch cabinet hinges. I thought these would fit perfectly because the picture shows it being used on knob cabinet door hardware which is what I have. Big mistake! These latches are too wide. If your knobs are close to each other then don't both with these. I put them on and it wouldn't even close enough. I could deal with the fact that they are ridiculously hard to open but the fact that it wasn't even made to tighten enough to fit standard cabinetry knobs is ridiculous. The idea is there but it just went terribly wrong with sizing. I like how it lets you know if it is locked or not. I am going to return these and install the wide latch ones which are better, I have 3 installed so far and I love them.

I just bought these locks last week, and I'm now looking at other options. The locks are very difficult for adults to open and use. I need 2 hands and some muscle strength to open. Not practical for cabinets I use daily.

Thought these looked well designed and would be user friendly. After a couple of times of needing to get in and out of the cabinets with these on we realized how unfunctional they were. Do not waste your money on these.

At first, we had a hard time opening this lock. I quickly learned a way to open it with ease. My husband and I would set the lock on a certain length. Far enough for us to easily slip over our knobs, but close enough to where our son can't. Now it's easy access. When we need something, we just slip it out over the knobs. My son still can't figure it out and he's a smart kid too.

I was looking forward to not having to fasten anything to the cupboards to childproof them but this was a terrible alternative. They are frustrating to try and get off. Going to buy a different product because this one is too annoying to use.
