Keeping cats (or kids) out of your cabinets
I never realized how many different kinds of baby locks there are on the market until I was looking for something to keep my cat out of the cabinets. There are U shaped ones, straps, strings, etc. In this review, I have a table at the bottom with pros and cons of each lock that I tried, as well as photos of each.
The Skyla Homes baby locks were the ones I found to be easier for me. They come in a pack of 8 or 12 and attach with 3M adhesive flexible straps. You can adjust the strap between 3-7 inches before attaching it to your cabinet. If you are anything like me, it takes a little bit of practice to get your fingers to work with the lock. Once you get it though, the locks work wonderfully! You can watch my video demonstration here.
