Six strong, sturdy, effective and easy to install safety catches, 18 Jun. 2011

The Lindam pack of six child safety catches are simple to install catches that fit (somewhat discreetly) inside cupboards or drawers to prevent young children from gaining access. The design is very simple and basic - which is usually the best way with things like this. It's just a sturdy plastic latch that is trapped by a solid plastic 'block' catch. To gain access, the adult simply slides their hand inside the cupboard or drawer and pushes the latch section away from the block section, then pulls the cupboard door or drawer open.

Fitting the safety catches is pretty darn easy. I fitted three into our kitchen in around 15 minutes (which included removing the old ones). All you need to do is screw the catch section into the inner-cupboard side, line-up the latch to ensure it fits snugly when locking, mark out the placement and then screw the latch onto the inside of the door. Simple! However, you will require drilling guide holes first...

Didn't work for my needs, 23 Jan. 2012

I bought these based on the positive reviews, but unfortunately they didn't work for me.Because my work surface protrudes over the kitchen cabinets, there was not enough room to mount these on most of the larger lower kitchen doors that we wanted to childproof. You would not be able to open the door far enough to reach the catch. There was also a problem with the kitchen sink cabinet where the sink itself meant there was not enough depth to fit the catch - and close the door. Impressive that it could be both too short and too long at the same time!Also we felt there was a bit to much play to stop fingers getting caught in drawers.I'm going to go for the magnetic option - but will buy just one to make sure they are suitable first!They probably would be fine in most situations.

good product, 13 Dec. 2010

fitted easily and been using a while now and still going strong. I wonder if I will ever open a cupboard and remember they are there though - forget every time!!!
