I only bought one package, which contained 2 **Grip 'n Go Cabinet Locks** to make sure I wasn't going to have a cabinet lock nightmare like I had with the previous product. My first thought when I saw it was that it did look more sturdy and I liked the *SecureTech* lock feature promoted on the packaging. **My Viewpoint!**After trying another cabinet lock, I needed a product that would keep my cabinets locked, secure and wouldn't break! Skeptical of using another **Safety 1st Cabinet Lock** product, I still went ahead and purchased the **Grip 'n Go Cabinet LockS**. There is a little sliding picture that shows your cabinet is locked. When you have it as tight as you can, release the release button. Simply push in the release button and hold it down while you slide the lock tight. You then place the **Grip 'n Go Cabinet Lock** around the cabinet handles or knobs that you would like to secure. Made to secure two cabinets together, you simply open the lock up by holding down a small release button on the bottom of the lock. **Safety 1st** advertises the *SecureTech* lock indicator which assures you that the device is locked or unlocked. **What is it?****The Grip 'n Go Cabinet Lock by Safety 1st** is a different type of cabinet lock then **Safety 1st** has previously made. True My 4 year old can open the Grip n go lock! Just a heads up, so if you are looking to purchase this lock, make sure your knobs are pretty close together. So, all in all, I think this WOULD HAVE BEEN a great lock, if it would have fit. I was hoping these locks would keep the doors shut tight, but now I am reverting back to the old locks I had on them, which are the ones that mount inside the doors and allow the door to open about an inch, so you can push the tab and release the lock. But, the lock won't "stretch" far enough to get around both knobs! :( Both doors have corner knobs, near each other. I wanted them specifically for my bathroom cabinet (under the sink). The locks seem to have many great features, which is what led me to purchase them in the first place.īut.they don't fit my cabinet handles! Apparently the knobs need to be fairly close to each other. I thought these would be a great way to keep some of my cabinets closed to my 1 year old, but that I could access them without too much trouble. I purchased the Safety 1st Grip 'N Go Cabinet Locks several months ago. I think these are really hard to open and close and that i would not recommend these to anyone, unless they are willing to purchase them, try them, and then return them if they don't work in their situation.įalse safety first grip N lock not for my daughter! We tried using these on our tv cabinet and bookshelf with a cabinet that opens at the bottom and these didn't work at all. Also if the handles are not spaced apart very far, the hooks don't secure. I have noticed that on some of our cabinets the hook portion of the product is too thick to use on knob style handles that we have, so we had to find an alternative. I would recommend these for cabinets that you don't want to get into and want to keep the kids out of. They have redesigned these from the previous kind. The first Safety 1st cabinet locks we purchased worked wonderful! They were easy to open and close. We purchased the Safety 1st Grip n' Go Cabinet Locks to put on our cabinets to keep our young child out of things. If you decide to use them, I recommend practicing opening and closing the safety locks before trying them out on a cabinet because it may be a while before you get back in it otherwise! Also, these would not work on knobs that are thicker so they're really very limited cabinet locks and I wouldn't recommend buying them unless you are able to try them out and be sure that they fit. That is essentially the only way to use it without an insane amount of stress. After fighting with it to open and close it, I finally set it so it keeps the cabinets closed, but I can, with a fair amount of effort, slide it off the cabinet handles. I only use one of these safety locks on the cabinet under the kitchen sink because it's not one I need to go into very often, but it's one that is unsafe for children to get into. I found these to use instead, but because they need to connect two knobs or handles together, they don't work on most of our cabinets including the bathroom cabinet that holds our cleaning supplies. We rent an apartment so installing child safety locks that need to be screwed to doors isn't an option for us.
