Magnetic locks are a life saver in my opinion.

A little tricky to install but they leave nothing visible on the exterior so your cabinets still look nice. Another nice feature is that they can be disabled easily if need be.

Does the glass make a difference? The ones I've used don't screw into the panel so it doesn't matter if it's glass or not. This sort of thing:baby lock@ amazon

I'd look to see if 3M has an adhesive version out. :P

We use these. They work very well. Not sure how they'd work for you, but they simply stick on, no drilling, and a magnet opens them (they can be locked in the open position as if there were no locks, too).

Do you have glass on the lower cabinets?

Upper cabinets don't need baby-proofing because kids can't reach them.

We never bothered with baby-proofing cabinets. We just moved things like oven cleaners into an upper shelf of the pantry, and even that wasn't important -- our kids never had any interest in getting into the kitchen cabinets.

Will you be able to see any of the suggested locks through the glass? That's the reason I specified glass. It's kind of a unique situation needing to baby-proof a glass door!

Yes, mrspete, I have a glass cabinet door on a base cabinet. It's an end-of-island bookcase w/ a glass door, where I'll display some tchotchkes, and the glass door is there to keep kids out. Congratulations on not having curious kids. :) I don't think I can exchange my kids at this stage of the game, so I have to work around what I've got!

Different kids are definitely different. I remember a neighbor who had one child and was pregnant with her second at the time telling me, after watching my youngest, if my second kid is like yours I'm going to have to actually babyproof, aren't I? Yes, yes you are. Lol. Curiosity is good. But it does make safety more challenging. (And I have known a few kids who would have needed top cabinets locked too, fortunately my curious kid was not a climber.) My oldest wasn't like that so it was a bit of a surprise to me; and an aha moment that kids pretty much just come the way they come.

Sorry, no suggestions. Good luck!

My oldest wasn't curious about cabinets, but baby thinks all lower cabinets are her fort. I wouldn't even say curious...more imaginative and territorial. We're in a temporary apartment right now, so instead of drawer bases we have lots of doors. She will sit in front of the cabinet, systematically throwing ALL THE THINGS onto the floor (one by one), climb inside, and shut the door. I kind of love it. :D I just don't want her (or any other little gremlins visiting our house) getting into the display cabinet! I realize there will be lots of windexing fingerprints in my future though...

Kids can and need to be taught.

Just like potty training, eating broccoli or not touching the hot stove.

Your parents' parents didn't have child locks on their cabinets and we all made it to 2016.

Only the ones who didn't die of poisoning neu2u. Just like we all made it without car seats, except for the ones who died in car accidents so they can't speak up and point that out.

We have a cat that can open our cabinet door where the garbage is. If it isn't locked, I wake up to garbage strewn all over. We found this worked the best as he can actually defeat a magnetic one we tried. cabinet lock. Here is a better picture of how it looks and is used: picture. They can be rotated upside down when you want it to be un-locked, if you ever do.

Fori that is a brilliant idea!!! These black ones will probably do the trick: http://amzn.com/B00404YO1I

I agree with the magnetic lock recommendation. We used the Tot-Lok brand.

As for teaching children... Maybe sometimes that works. But it didn't work for my first son who would eventually be diagnosed with Autism. We even had to buy bicycle locks to further lock up the child safety gates. He could (and would) get into everything, but the Tot-Loks stopped him.

No need to be judgmental.
