Children are natural born explorers, and no toy is as tempting as a cabinet or kitchen drawer that they’re not supposed to open. Unfortunately, this natural exploration can lead to all sorts of problems, from innocent messes to more dangerous accidents. From medicine to sharp knives, there are many things in a dresser drawer or kitchen cupboard that can pose a threat to a child. Luckily, there are many baby proof cabinet locks on the market for kitchen cabinets, medicine boxes, lazy susan cabinets and more that can help keep your children safe.
Magnetic cabinet safety locks are perfect for baby proofing any home because they’re discreet and invisible from the outside. Magnetic locks are installed on the inside of cabinets and drawers and are unlocked using a magnetic key. Best of all, these locks can be installed using strong adhesive tape, so you don’t have to drill any unsightly holes or use screws.
Adhesive strap locks are always a popular choice because they require no drilling and no screws. Installing adhesive strap locks to cabinet doors couldn’t be simpler. They can also be easily removed without damaging the cabinet’s surface. These locks can be used on just about anything in your house, from medicine cabinets to ovens.
Swivel latches are perfect for cabinets without knobs and drawers. These latches are super easy to install with a screwdriver and can be disengaged when not needed by simply turning them for 90 degrees. The swivel latches work by catching on the lip of the drawer, which prevents the door from being fully opened. To open the latch it’s enough just to press it with your finger. There are many popular lock brands that offer swivel latches, including Safety 1st and KidCo.
Spring latches have been popular since the 1980s because they’re affordable, easy to use and they work great. Spring latches are installed on the inside of any drawer or cabinet door and use a simple spring mechanism to keep the door locked. These latches are unlocked by simply pushing down on the spring.
Cord locks for kids are your best option for cabinets that have double doors with two knobs side by side. Cord locks essentially lock the knobs together so that neither door can be opened. Cord locks are easy to install as they require no drilling or adhesive tape, and they can be taken with you when you visit relatives or go on vacation. These locks have an easy-to-use slide lock mechanism that can be used with any knobs or handles.
Popular brands that sell child locks for cabinets include Safety 1st, KidCo, KisCords, Munchkin and Wonderkid. Although all of these brands specialize in locks, Safety 1st is definitely a top brand for its huge variety of child proof locks.
Very nice staff! Very efficient.
Very pleased with their products and their professional service. The retractable baby gates on our stairs and our "grandma" cabinet locks are perfect for visiting grand kids but not a hassle for everybody.
Great People and products. Thank you so much for creating a safe environment for kids at our home.
Rick and Evan are awesome. Thank you for helping us make our house safe!
Rick, your crew came into my house today to child proof it. The first thing they asked was do we need to take off our shoes, or are you ok with booty covers? WOW! No one has ever made shoes an issue. As a new mom I never thought about shoes on the floor, thank you for that information as well as all the other information you gave us in the home evaluation. The best thing is my home is child proofed, and I feel good about it. There were a few things I knew to take care of but my husband and I had no clue how to. You have helped us so much. At first I thought this was going to be too much money and we could not afford to have it all done. Well you proved me wrong on that, it was very affordable and well worth it. In fact I have two new friends with babies and I would like to purchase a gift card for them. How would I go about doing that? Thank you so much for everything!
Dear Rick,I am very pleased we met at the Moms Expo. You and your crew came into my house and did everything you said you would, and more. (Thank you for fixing that cabinet door, its been broke since we moved in). Your company standards are very high, and very professional. Now I know why everyone I talk to has used you. All I can say is thank you for making our home and pool safe. My husband is so happy that it was done by someone that knows what they are doing. I have given your name out many times and will continue to.
Thank you for making our home safe. It was great working with you and your company. Our installers are very professional and courteous, and even stopped and helped me carry in my groceries. I was referred to your company by a very picky friend of mine and I know if she used you, you must be the best. Thank you for all your help. I am sending my mother-in-law’s number to get her home done also.
Rick,Just thought I would drop a note here. When my wife called Precious Baby Protectors to see about an in home evaluation I was against this. My wife told me what she had done and I told her I can do it myself, do not even have them come. Well she had your company come out without me knowing, I was on a business trip for nine days. I guess she felt comfortable with the owner Rick and his staff. When I got back into town my house was child safe. At first I was upset, because I thought I could do it. Then I realized how great this was, its done and I don’t have to spend time trying to do this. There were so many things I never would have thought about that Precious Baby took care of. I am so impressed that I have referred your company to many of my friends. In fact we are all at the mall last Sunday and I was talking to another dad. I told him about your company and how I was so thrilled. He said “Chuck they are coming over on Monday; my sister used them 9 years ago.” All I could say was, Wow good for you! If you ever want to take your company national please look me up, I will be your first investor.
Description of Work: Installed 4 baby gates and baby fence to go across the living room and kitchen.Comments: They did a great job. They brought all of their own materials. They were quick on the installation. They did a very professional job and made it look great.
Rick and his team are extremely professional and knowledgeable. They evaluated my house, inside and out, and made recommendations to keep my 3 toddlers safe. They also told me what we did not need, so I felt they were most concerned with safety, and not just focused on selling me unnecessary things. They have proprietary products that you can't get anywhere else that are better, safer, and easier to use. I highly recommend them.
Precious baby did a great job installing our gates. They were punctual and explained the process. I like that they used a higher grade hardware to install the gates and made everything look clean and professionally installed in my brand new home. They made several suggestions that we didn't end up installing just yet but we plan to bring them back in for phase two. Thanks Precious Baby - these new gates are a game changer for all of these stairs.
Rick was responsive and a great communicator. He told me which of the stuff we had already done was correctly installed or with a modification could be used somewhere else. I appreciated those money saving tips. We have a three story townhouse so stairs we're my concern and their construction did cause for a creative solution which Rick made happen. Everything has been easy to use and we haven't had any issues since the install over one month ago. Appreciate everything he does and can't recommend him enough!
Rick and his install guy did a great job. They were very responsive and worked with me on the design of the fencing. It was just installed and looks and functions great! Would recommend.
Excellent experience. Service setup in less than a week and top notch. Well detailed invoice and great communication. Excellent binder with examples of work and options. Walked through how to secure each lock and explained the invoice in detail. Pleasure to work with.
Rick and Evan are awesome. Thank you for helping us make our house safe!
Very happy with the quality installation and service we received from Rick and his crew for our baby gates. Would recommend this company to anyone out there looking for baby gates that will last - all metal gates look great next to the wrought iron stairway.
Rick and his staff did a wonderful job making our home safe. They installed multiple gates and endless other safety equipment to make the house safe for our little one! Wonderful to work with and we highly recommend their company!
I just happened to see this reply by Inga and wanted to tell you about my 5 star experience. I truthfully don't believe this person. This company has done excellent work and all my friends and neighbors rave about them! This company is #1 in my book!We had our gates originally installed 5 years ago and this company has been nothing but wonderful. We had our whole house baby proofed, and a poolfence. Last year we took the gates down as our daughter was 5 1/2....little Joey came along unexpectedly and is now starting to walk....Rick and Robert were back last week to re-install my gates and they were wonderful. These guys are so honest, do excellent work and I would never trust anyone else to do our install. It bother me that people would have the nerve to lie!
We are extremely happy with the service and our child proof rails. The customer service was amazing, our house looks amazing. We had all the second floor done. We had open walls that you could look down to the first floor and our kids had been climbing to look over. Now with the rails, we have peace of mind and most important our kids are safe. The Second floor looks great because the rails go with the decor. Thank you again, Precious Baby Protectors !!
Rick and his crew are amazing! Highly recommended to all families babies, toddlers, and pets!! They also do pool safety nets and fences! You must protect your family, call them!
We were displaced by the storm. I sent in an email asking for help at our rental house. Rick called me and explained how they work. We made an appointment for the next day at 1. At 1 I get a knock on the door. (Thank god they did not ring the doorbell). Robert and Gage showed up as I was told. We went over everything that I wanted. They installed it all and went over every item with me. Great, peace of mind is here. Robert and I went over the invoice, they discounted everything due to us being displaced by the storm. We are so happy, and all of this will be moved into our home when we rebuild. So professional and went way above to help my family out. Great caring people 3/-0
So happy with their work and customer service!!! Would highly recommend them!! Not only do my baby gates look nice I also finally have peace of mind that my precious one will be safe!! Thank you!!!
Timely, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. Highly recommended. Thank you to Rick for all of your patience with our questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How to baby proof drawers?
The best way to secure drawers for babies and toddlers depends on the type of drawers you have in your home. For kitchen drawers or a chest of drawers in your bedroom that you pull out to open, magnetic locks, swivel latches or spring latches are the best locks to use. For other cupboards and dressers, adhesive strap locks can work well when there’s just one door that opens. Cord locks can be easily attached to dresser knobs.
How to baby proof cabinets and drawers without handles or knobs?
The best way to baby proof cabinets and drawers without handles or knobs is to use either adhesive strap locks or adhesive magnetic locks. These locks are easy to install, and they work on any flat surface.
How to baby proof cabinet doors?
The best way to childproof cabinet doors depends on the type of cabinet you have. If you’re looking to lock kitchen cabinets from babies, then spring latches, swivel latches and cord locks are all great options. Cord locks work for when you can’t or don’t want to use a drill for installing the lock (kids grow up, and drill holes stay). If you have a glass cabinet door, you can also use adhesive magnetic locks. It’s difficult to invent anything that will work with sliding door cabinets besides adhesive tape locks, but it’s still an option. And any type except cord locks will work for a single cabinet door.
How to baby proof a medicine cabinet?
Baby proofing a medicine cabinet or medicine box is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure the safety of your child or infant. Adhesive strap locks work great for single cabinet doors, however, magnetic locks, spring or swivel latches are more reliable options. In addition to using locks, it’s also important to keep medicines in child resistant containers and to keep medicine in a cabinet that’s high up and out of your child’s sight.
How to baby proof a lazy susan cabinet?
Kids can easily make a mess when they get into a rotating lazy susan cabinet, but they can also seriously hurt themselves by falling or getting stuck. The best way to create a baby proof corner cabinet is to use specialty lazy susan cabinet locks. These locks have a dual press button release, so your child won’t be able to push the cabinet open. You can also take action by removing breakable objects from the cabinet and replacing them with child-safe items.
How to baby proof cabinets without drilling?
There are plenty of options if you’re looking to baby proof your cabinets without drilling into them. Adhesive strap locks are perfect for cabinets with single doors, while cord locks can be used to tie two doors together. Additionally, many magnet locks come with strong adhesive strips for a drill-free installation.
