Safety 1st OutSmart Flex Lock, White, 2 Pack

These work great on our closets. They’re easy to place and use as well as remove. I like that there is a fake button on the front so kids don’t actually know how to undo them. So far they’ve held up great without any issues.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Works great to keep my too-smart dog from opening the cabinet and rummaging through the garbage. If I needed more for I’d definitely order more! If you have a pest of a dog who likes to eat everything and the garbage, this is a great tool!

I have a three year old who is a SNACK MONSTER! She will even climb, if necessary, to gain access to any cabinet she believes might have food/snacks/candy etc.These locks are fully adjustable with long bands that can be completely released from the loop and inner-locking mechanism.There are 2 small, hidden, pressure-point tabs on the back of each half of the lock. They are sturdy and require strong counter-pressure to loosen (or fully release) each band. The band adjustment tabs are 100% hidden from access once both parts of the lock are in place.Once the bands are re-inserted, and both halves of the lock are secured together, I highly recommend the user to tighten the bands as tight as necessary.There is a bit of learning curve to using these; but they aren't difficult to use and figuring out what works best for you should happen quickly!IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO MENTION:**My toddler WAS able to figure out that she could slip the bands over knobs, essentially removing the entire lock, but that was only IF the band(s) were too loose!**This specific feature (the functionality of the fully adjustable bands) made it possible to place a lock on our refrigerator door handles [which fully connect to the fridge doors at both ends of handle].These locks have helped us safely secure the fridge as well as the pantry, AND the medicine cabinet... just in case!OTHER NOTES:**My -almost- 8year old IS strong enough to release/remove the lock [but she knows what to stay out of] so I don't suggest these for children older than maybe 5 or 6yrs old or for children with advanced hand-strength/dexterity.(I do not recommend demonstrating how to disengage the lock to anyone that doesn't NEED to know how)**For those who may have cabinets with "cup-pulls" (instead of knobs or handles) I would HIGHLY suggest the Safety 1st hidden, magnetic, lock with the magnet key. The locking mechanisms are installed inside the cabinet. They are a sleeker option if you don't want something that calls attention to itself! The magnetic keys that disengage those particular locks are SUPER strong. That feature, generally, prevents the use of regular fridge magnets as they are not typically strong enough to engage through most materials that you would apply the lock to.Overall, Safety 1st has been my tried and true, GO-TO, brand for various baby need for MANY years!

We've ordered 8 of these and two would not unlock. On both, the top bottom just doesn't work. The ones that work, so far work very well.

Easy to install on cabinets with double doors. Our cabinets have handles instead of knobs, but I think they would work just as well with that style. While the doors still open a little when my toddler pulls on them, there is no way she would be able to put her hand into the cabinet to pull anything out.The button to release the child lock is very well hidden, to the point that I struggled to find it at first. But they are very easy to open when you need to get into a cabinet. And the decoy button on the front is genius for distracting curious little ones.

These locks are great. We have previously tried several other types. The kids seem to be able to either break the hard plastic ones or figure out a way around them. These are easy to open if you know how to. But definitely get an adult proof if they don’t know how to use it. The fake button definitely throws everybody off.

The media could not be loaded. Awful. I understand the concept but these don't work for what I need.I have double doors in my home that I wanted to child proof. I thought these would be perfect but they dont fit properly and they dont open easily.At first I had them on very tight to try to avoid pinched fingers but then they wouldn't un-latch at all. I loosened them and they still dont open easily. I'm disappointed because now it seems to be broken and can't be used at all.I will have to find something else for what I need because this is not it.

I was hesitant at first to buy these because there are cheaper options available but I was enticed by the placebo button on the front so I went ahead and did it. And we love it!Pros:- The placebo button is genius: not only does it work at tricking toddlers into pushing it, but my 18-month-old son often (not always) gets less frustrated at this device than our other baby proofing gear because he gets distracted by the button and then treats it like a toy rather than screaming when he still can’t get the fireplace open.- It’s very adjustable! Put it on everything from cabinets to fireplaces to fridge doors. And if you rent (like us), then you don’t have to worry about holes or damage on the walls/doors- Unlike the u-shaped ones, this doesn’t have any rigid, sharp or stick-like parts waiting to gouge out an eye. The zip-tie portion is flexible and smooth, unlike the vicious teeth and prongs of last-generation baby locks.Cons:- It’s not an air-tight closure, there is some give to it even when you tighten it all the way. So finger-pinching is likely to happen in slightly cracked-open doors (although this has, in my experience, always been the case for these kinds of locks)- Definitely pricier than other options (but worth it, in my opinion)All in all a great step forward in innovation for baby-proofing products.
