Baby Products Reviews of Safety 1st Tot-Lok Starter Set
Customer Review: what happens when they break???
Summary: 1 Stars
We purchased the tot locs after hearing rave reviews. After a couple of weeks of use, one cabinet would simply not open. Luckily there is a drawer above this cabinet and my husband was able to stick his hand in and open the cabinet from behind. We could see that the lock was broken. It had completely lost it's magnetic power--how, I don't know. Now we don't know what to do. If this happens again, especially on a freestanding cabinet--we're "in trouble" How are we supposed to open our cabinet if it breaks? The only way would be to ruin our beautiful new cabinets. We'll probably take them all out and go with the old-fashioned latch locks.
Customer Review: Excellent product!
Summary: 4 Stars
My 9-month old son has just recently been interested in exploring all the cabinets and drawers in our home. We bought these locks to install on our kitchen cabinets and they work great. My son quickly loses interest in the cabinets because they do not budge when you pull on them. The key part is pretty easy to use for opening the cabinets. We keep ours on the side of the fridge so they won't get lost. I would have rated these locks a 5, but the directions are rather small and hard to read. Once you figure out how to install the first one, the rest are easy. I plan to buy more to install on our bathroom cabinets as well.Customer Review: LOVE these locks!
Summary: 5 Stars
These locks are fantastic! They are completely hidden from view and aren't cumbersome when you open your cabinets. They are a bit time-consuming to install, but they come with paper guides that show you EXACTLY where to drill the holes so that there are no mistakes. I wish all child-proof locks came with those! They work like a charm, and have little switches that you can flip when you don't want to use them anymore. The only problem...they're practically adult-proof! My husband had to help me figure out how to open the cabinets once I got them installed! Definitely keeps the kids out of the cabinets!Customer Review: Great idea poor execution
Summary: 1 Stars
Like many others, I found the idea of a lock the kids couldn't tamper with fantastic. However the lock is very difficult to open even for the parents because the magnet isn't powerful enough to open the lock when mounted on the cabinet door.
Hard to believe because when I opened the package the key would open the lock from about an inch away. Once we installed it on the cabinet it took a lot of struggle to get the lock to open. My wife amd most people wouldn't have the patience for this lock.
I'm looking for a more powerful magnet from a hardware store otherwise I'm returning these.
Customer Review: works well with correct installation
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband and I installed these and experienced the same problem as the previous reviewer. The magnet seemed too weak to work well. But the set includes extensions. The hole needs to be drilled deep enough so that the magnet comes close to the front of the cabinet door. (I suggest putting a piece of masking tape on the drill bit, so that you can make the hole deep enough without going through the cabinet door.) When the hole is deep enough & the extension used, it works well. And there's even a latch to keep it unlocked, if you want to keep it unlocked without uninstalling the whole thing.
