Good Purchase, 17 Jan. 2010

Overall I am very glad with drawer locks. I have fitted them to a set of drawers where conventional locks could not be fitted, to stop my prying 3 year old. Having read a few of the reviews I was a little put off buying them. However I have found no issue at all with their quality although fitting them was a little fiddly. This was mostly due to the set of drawers I was fitting them to. According to the instructions these are most easily fit to a regular kitchen style cupboard, in fact the instructions are actually only for a cupboard. It is much trickier to fit to a drawer as you have to do a little guesswork and trial and error to work out the optimum position for the striker plate.

It would have been helpful to provide the instructions in a pdf format to read before purchasing so you know what you are in for. It took me about 4 or five hours to fit to a chest of 3 drawers only because I am a perfectionist and I had to get the locks to fit and operate perfectly i.e...

Great idea but more limited than instructions suggest., 5 Nov. 2012

These catches are a good idea, are adequately well made and the instructions are easy to follow. However, the catches are flawed by the manufacturers being over optimistic about the thickness of material through which the magnets will operate. My doors are 28mm thick and I used the additional part needed for thicker doors but the magnet is still not strong enough to operate the catch. Much stronger magnets are needed to operate at this thickness. Most of the time I have to wrench the doors open. They doors are certainly child-proof but for the wrong reasons!

Lack of finer detail!!, 16 Jan. 2011

Good product, but couldn't use it!! There is no mention, in the item description on the website, that the cupboard doors/drawers must be maximum 26mm thick. I cut the pack apart, then read the small print. My cupboards, which are pretty old, are 28mm thick. I took a chance and did as instructed, but the magnet was not powerful enough to disengage the lock. Obviously can't send the item back due to it being cut open so I am pretty disappointed. £16 down the drain!!!! Happy days.
