These Magnetic Locks Are The Better Way To Childproof Your Home

For anyone who has kids or grandkids, childproofing the cabinets is mandatory. While old-school latches and ties can sometimes the job, they pose a risk when tiny, determined toddler hands get to grabbing.

That's why we switched to magnetic locks. They're a safer, more effective way to keep the kids out of cabinets and drawers, and they're a lot less frustrating for grownups, too.

First things first, the Safety 1st magnetic lock system sets the highest standard of safety. "Toddler tested. Proven stronger," is their motto, and extensive studies were performed to verify this very important claim.

Second of all, installing your Safety 1st magnetic locks is easy: Just peel off the adhesive backing and stick the lock on to the inside of your cabinet or drawer. Some materials, like particle board, may require the use of screws (which are included). There's a yellow plastic template you can use to ensure proper alignment and secure installation every time.

To open your cabinets, simply align your magnetic key with the lock and twist. You can store the key on top of your counter or anywhere that's out-of-reach for little ones but easily accessible for grownups. And if the kids are going to be away for a while, you can opt to disengage your magnetic locks. The locking indicator will let you know with just a glance when your cabinets are locked again.

The Safety 1st magnetic lock system comes with eight locks and two keys. Usually, this would cost you nearly $40, but it's on sale today for 25 percent off. That means you can childproof your cabinets the safer, smarter way for just $29.99.
