Baby Products Reviews of KidCo 4 Lock Set
Customer Review: Excellent and NO SCREWS!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought multiple types to secure the cabinets and these are by far superior. I bought the Safety 1st, which were going to be challenging to install and required a lot of time; which I did not have, so I never installed the silly things. I am impressed at the strength of staying power without being mounted/secured by screws! Now I tend to forget they are installed, so I end of giving them a sudden strong pull and then remember to grab the magnetic key. I would recommend ensuring you have either 1- purchase several keys, or 2-buy some easy to grip magnets to keep several in the kitchen just to keep it quick and easy to get into the cabinets. Luckily for me, I have the two magnetic keys from the Safety 1st products.Customer Review: Awesome Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought the Safety First Tot Locks and I was really disappointed with how much damage you have to do to your cabinet doors to install them. You drill a blind hole from the back side that comes within 1/8 inch of breaking out the front! I returned those and got the Kidco locks. They are perfect. They install so easily and work wonderfully. One thing that makes them so effective is that they magnet has less work to do than the Tot Locks due to a counter-balance weight. I ran into a situation where one of my locks didn't work and it was due to a metal fastener in the cabinets. I just slid the lock over an inch and it was fine. Great, great product.Customer Review: Where is the key that's in the photo?
Summary: 1 Stars
Frustration is how I sum up my experience with this product. On the front cover, and with the directions on the back, there is a photo of a key that locks and unlocks the magnetic lock. However, after opening the packaging, there was no key. There were four locks, alright. And, lots of little screws in case you felt like screwing the lock in, despite the product's claim to be the only child lock that doesn't require tools. With how the packaging is designed, I don't even think there's room for the key. Which makes me wonder...do you have to buy the key separately? I'm returning this product and am bitterly disappointed for the wasted time and energy.Customer Review: These locks are the best
Summary: 5 Stars
The Kidco magnetic locks are the best. Really, any of the babyproofing products by Kidco are far superior to other brands. These locks are incredibly easy to install, I did our whole kitchen (about 12 cabinets) in about 30 minutes. They don't require you to drill into the cabinet, and they also don't show on the outside. They also have a deactivation mechanism if you are working in the kitchen and going in and out of the cabinets a lot.
We ended up purchasing some extra magnetic keys (you can find them in stores, not always available on Amazon.com) because we often misplace them, but you can put them on the fridge which seems to work well.
Customer Review: Bet on the wrong horse
Summary: 2 Stars
I let my 1 year-old play with the magnet opener. I admit that was dumb and of course it went missing never to be seen again. The next day I went on a wild goose chase to Lowe's, Home Depot, Babies R Us, etc trying to find a retailer who carries this product. The only place that had anything was Babies R Us but they only had a four lock pack with no key. I asked an employee and she mentioned seeing their products on clearance lately and thought maybe they were being discontinued. However, the Safety 1st locks were available everywhere. Also, maybe my husband did a poor job on the install but I have two or three of these that flat out don't work.
