Baby Products Reviews of Safety 1st Tot-Lok Four Lock Assembly
Customer Review: Works for cats, too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was also concerned about installation based on a few amazon.com reviews. However, like another person said, the first took a little longer, but I had all four installed in under a half hour. It was actually fun and rewarding! How often can you say that about putting something together/ installing something??
My tip: drill right through the paper guide. It won't swirl around the paper unless you're using the larger 9/32" bit, which you can drill last. That one definitely has to be drilled perfectly, but the smaller holes for screws can be less deep than the screw. The screw will easily make its own hole when you drill it in.
Customer Review: Works great, easy install
Summary: 5 Stars
I've installed these on about 9 cabinets at daycare. The first one took a while but after that the installs were quick. Installation is super easy. They provide a self stick template. First you uncover the #1 tape and stick it to the frame. Mark where the two screws go. Uncover the #2 tape and close the door. Open the door and the template is stuck to the door. Mark the 4 screw holes and the hole for the metal peg. Remove the template. Drill the hole for the metal peg. Put the lock on the door and screw it down. Install the catch on the frame. Done!
Very simple, and no problems with alignment.
Customer Review: Only for Solid Doors
Summary: 2 Stars
After we finally figured out the instructions for installation (the pictures were so tiny), we installed one correctly. Then, when we tried to install the second one, we found out that our doors aren't solid. The small magnet part fell all the way to the bottom. After 30 minutes of trying to extract the magnet from the door, we finally installed that, but the parts just didn't fit well together. This was more trouble than it was worth, and we purchased the old-fashioned ones. It was also much more expensive than the old-fashioned ones. Oh well, we probably would have lost the magnetic key in a few months anyway.Customer Review: Tot-Luk Safety Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Tot-luks are wonderful, they are fairly easy to install. The hardest aspect is getting use to finding where to put the key to release the draws or cabinet doors. I like knowing that my son can not open the draw in the slightest, so there is no chance of tiny fingers get caught. I tried other latch sets, but they all seemed to allow the draw or cabinet door to open somewhat and I was afraid that those tiny fingers were going to get caught.Tot-luks are a big topic of conversation at my house. When guest see us using the key it always springs up great conversation about the product.
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I have never seen such pitiful instructions before, especially on a baby safety item. The instructions are vague, and the pictures are so small, you can hardly tell what to do. They didn't align right, and I ended up drilling 3 holes in my cabinets, and then gave up because of frustration. I had read the reviews before I ordered, but figured that the instructions had to be better than I had read. I was wrong! I will always take others' advice from now on. If it weren't for the trouble, I would have returned them immediately. I have not even installed them.
