Lisa- For the drawers we use the drawer locks that won’t catch the fingers. For the cabinets, we basically only did the ones that were dangerous for her to get into and the ones in the kitchen. We kept a few that were okay for her with things like boxes and tupperwares. Anyhow, in the kitchen, we use the magnet locks (also for a couple of the ones in the bathrooms), and I really like them. Like any baby locks, they’re a pain in the rear, but we keep the magnet on the counter and I find that they’re easy enough once you get used to them. Thing is that they are very expensive, and also very hard to install- they need such precision that I think they need to be professionally done (or you really need to be handy) for the most part. They have managed to keep both kids- and unknowing adults-out (I think even a burglar would have a tough time with them!!). For the cabinets where we have two knobs, I use the safety first ones that look like a long U-shape, and you put it through the knobs/handles and make it tight. Those are also impossible to get through.
If you want to see them, let me know and I’ll send you some pics and show you how they work.
Thais- I don’t know why I can’t figure out how to do it. I made the picture small within the size constraints, and then uploaded it, but each time it says upload failed!!?? It’s a jpeg form from our digital camera, assume that’s fine. How did you do it????
