Cupboard locks - screw in or stick on type?

  • We aren't having any locks on cupboards/doors. We will be teaching our child that they shouldn't go in them - it worked for me & my husband (no such things 30+ years ago!).
    I am employed as a manager in a financial services institution. My views are entirely my own.

    If you have D shaped handles (get my drift?), you can get a D shaped thing with cable tie like teeth that means you can lock two cupboards that are side by side together. And hang your T-Towel over it.
    Poundland do packs of safety stuff which is ok if you are going down the 'some cupboards wont be out of bounds' route. They should pass the test. Keep the D locks for the chemical and nasties cupboards, although eating dog biscuits never harmed my two:rotfl:

    The reason that I need so many is because the Social Workers are very strick, all low cupboards need to have a lock on regardless of what they have inside them!

    ... and yet our local Children's Centre has one of their cupboards without a lock on it (they ran out of ones in the packet from what I've been told)!

    http://www.mothercare.com/Mothercare-Cabinet-Slide-Lock---2-Pack/575461,default,pd.html I have these on things like the cupboard desk that has the computer in in order to prevent little fingers posting things into the computer CD drive but without needing to be permanently drilled or attached.
