KidCo Adhesive Mount Magnet Key and Holder

 (31 customer reviews)

I purchased this item labeled "KidCo Adhesive Mount Magnet Lock-Key
Set", reading it as Lock-Key set(Lock & Key) as listed in the title. The description also reading "THE ONLY MAGNET LOCK that installs with out tools or drilling!" and that it included a key and key holder. Reviews also were for the lock's effectiveness.

Upon receiving it I found that it was ONLY, which was disappointing. Had I known that I would have ordered the locks as well.

Review is not for product per se, but more to warn buyers so they don't misinterpret this as I did.

I used these to cat-proof my kitchen cabinets and it works like a charm. I didn't want to permanently install anything or mar my cherry cabinets. I installed them at the top center of the cabinet -- not above the handle. I have large pewter handles on the cabinet and had no issue with the magnet not working. I almost didn't buy them initially because someone said they wouldn't work if you have metal handles, but that wasn't true for me.

After much investigating, I decided on this key and the locks that go with it. I really like these. They are fairly easy to install. They are also strong enough to resist a baby like mine who is yanking on them. You can turn the lock off by simply sliding the tab on it, for when the baby is asleep or not around and you're trying to get things done. As an additional plus, your cabinets don't all look baby proofed, you can't even tell from the outside and once you are done with them, they come off without leaving any marks (you can put the optional screws in like I did on some but really don't need them as the adhesive is strong enough).
