Good lock that works fine for sliding doors., 13 Oct. 2015

Customer Video Review Length:: 0:25 Mins I got a free sample of this (though I am quite sure I turned it down when asked).It is a nice design that works well for sliding doors, and which would be tricky for a toddler or child to figure out. For larger sliding doors, such as wardrobes, one could of course just attach it quite high up, and it wouldn't be much of an issue.The locking mechanism itself works well and is easy to use for a grown-up but tricky to figure out for a child, just like it should be for child safety latches.The only downside to this one compared to many others I've seen is it's not very aesthetically pleasing to look at. It's functionality is fine, however, which is the main thing. With a toddler or baby in the house, your house is going to look a mess anyway, so no one will notice if the safety latches look ugly.

Fantastic idea for child safety., 15 Oct. 2015

What a great idea this sliding cabinet lock is they do say the simplest ones are the best as you can see from my photographs they are extremely easy to install and can be used on any handles also the door does not open much so a young child would not be able to take items out of the cupboard. They are well made from hard plastic the longer bit goes over the handle and the smaller clip slides on the end and the door is almost childproof definitely baby proof but I would presume children older that four would be able to work it out and be able to unclipe the lock great value as you get two within the pack I would highly recommend these.

Not the strongest sliding door locks. But certainly the easiest to install. And difficult for a toddler to work out., 13 Oct. 2015

These are not the strongest locks I have seen, but they are certainly the easiest to fit. No screwdriver, no sticky pads, nothing!

Just hook the 'U' shaped long clip over one sliding door knob or handle. Slot the small clip over the other knob/handle and on to it. Push the lock closed. And it's locked!

To open it again, you need to press two (slightly sprung) tabs together a little to release the locking teeth.

The inside of the U-shaped clip has serrated grooves for much of its length, and the small clip has the teeth that engage with these at any point. So the lock is very adjustable to suit the distance apart of your knobs/handles.

The ABS plastic is not the highest strength, but quite strong enough to hold any sliding doors. The locking mechanism will also be difficult for any small child to work out easily.

Make sure that the child doesn't get too frustrated by it though, because heavy pulling and twisting may crack the plastic...
