Will this keep a strong 6 year old out of my cabinets? He has special needs and feels that he can open my cabinets and dump whatever on the floor. I am looking for something that would prevent him to get in my cabinets.

Yes, the locks will keep adults out too. My huband installed the locks and, as other reviewers stated, they can be a pain to install. Very important to remember: KEEP TRACK OF THE MAGNETIC KEY!!! Or, buy an extra one. We found out that our key did work even though it was melted a little (was left on top of hot stove for a few minutes). All-in-all, I believe these locks were well worth the money.

I would say it depends on your child, I built this for my son at 4 years old, he loves it and has not fallen out. My one recommendation would be to use wood glue to help keep the drawers sturdy!

I dont know about easily, but my 6 yr old has no problem. Also, my almost 3 yrs old figured out how to open it today. It takes a fair amount of strength to lift and open.

I was able to use it successfully on a corner lazy Susan cabinet. We had to make sure it was lined up correctly, and that was a bit challenging, but so far it has kept my little one out of it.

I think it is too strong for kids...you have to move through the handles which is hard. I returned it.

I think is the least of your concern about it, think of it like in your kitchen somethings you have to bend down to get somethings. Older kids such as 5-6 loves my daughter's kitchen when they come over, regardless

I have this setup in my garage. I put placed the heavier items on the bottom for a little more sturdiness. It's works well so far. If your kids want to move bad enough, they will. You know how that goes. It's definitely not strong enough to climb on, but it's not that flimsy really. It's a great cheaper storage option. Hope that helps.

My son is mobile enough he can get himself into the chair. So, I hold the hand brake and verbally guide him into the chair. "Butt first, hold on to the handle". But if I were not holding the chair, I fear it would slide out from under him.

No, this is specifically for doors. If you put it on drawers the child could pull it off.

It stays open pretty well on it's own. It doesn't come with a built in way to keep it open, but you could probably tie it with a shoelace or a bungee if you're afraid of him accidentally closing it. I'm pretty sure that you could probably take it off somehow, but I never explore that. Good luck!

Is it safe for the floors? Should be fine, but will slide around. Is it safe for your child on wood floors? As long as they dont jump off or do anything crazy on it, it should be fine. My son is almost 2 and he does fine with it on our tile floors. Great product and would buy again.

Yes, it does. I've kept them for years. Just recently, my 5-year old had company and the 8-year old pull the door open so hard, she broke it. Otherwise, it has worked perfectly for us and my 5-year old wouldn't have been able to break it himself.

This is better designed to keep people OUT rather than IN, but a toddler would have some trouble manipulating the lock. I'd say it would be about as effective as a child-proof cap on medicine. It'll keep them out until they figure it out. Try a cheap slide bolt at the top of the door.

The cabinet is perfect for us considering we don't have a pantry....as for the lip, it holds it's purpose and it very convenient as it stores smaller items...I wouldn't put breakable items if there are kids in the home that can potentially pull the door and cause them to fall.

Yes! We are using it that way right now with our (just turned) 2 year old. I make sure she's buckled and I slide her up to the table before I walk away, so I don't worry about her trying to escape!

I don't think this should be the case. I have watched my granddaughter pushing her's round and round her house. Your's must have a problem.

That is a nice little side benefit. It doesn't make it impossible, so a determined kid (especially a tall one) could probably still get out, but it certainly makes it more of a challenge. They simply can't freely throw their legs up like they can without one (though, the kind without feet holes are even more effective.) Our 26 month old hasn't gotten out yet and I would attribute that, at least in part, to the fact that she still sleeps in one. She will likely get a toddler bed before ever climbing out of her crib (she still sleeps well in it, so we haven't felt compelled to transition her yet.)
