We paid a guy to go through our apartment & put those child safety locks on all the drawers & cabinet doors.

I know he only did what we hired him to do but I really want to superglue his peehole shut.

Ooo, did you get the fancy ones that use super-magnets? Cause those look extra annoying. XD

Actually, those are really handy, as long as you don't lose the magnet unlocker. They're much easier to cope with than any of the other kinds IMO.

as long as you don't lose the magnet unlocker being the key phrase for us. With a toddler and a preschooler in the house, we lose everything from keys to glasses to cell phones on a regular basis. Keeping them out of the chemicals is easy relative to that!

Oh yes, we lose all sorts of stuff all the time; my kids are 6, 4, 4, and 1. And we have lost the super-magnet once...but at least you can just get another magnet. We generally didn't because we had a place to put it that was out of reach but next to the locked cabinet.

We had several magnet keys and that helped, but mostly we just kept them attached to a magnetic surface up high and the stayed put. Love the magnet locks...one child-safety thing my kids could not immediately defeat through brute force.

Never even heard of that! We just got the regular annoying hooks.

Loved them since S. broke the hook-type ones by just yanking hard on the cabinet door.

Magne-what?! This sounds useful to me.
