Customer Reviews of Spring Action Lock by Kidco
Customer Review: Easy to install, work well for my 1-year old
Summary: 4 Stars
To me, these latches seemed pretty easy to install on my cabinets. They should be relatively easy to install for most standard types of cabinets and for installers who have moderate skills with a drill and screwdriver. These latches allow a flush-closing cabinet door to open about 1 inch, just enough to get your finger in to push down on the spring lever to unlatch.
For the spring lever half, I used the two supplied screws in the top pair of mounting slots. This may have prevented the problem one of the other reviewers had with the lever/bracket bending down when the cabinet door was pulled on forcefully. I can see how using the two mounting screws in the bottom pair of slots could cause this problem. It seems like there should not even be a bottom pair of slots, since there are only enough screws supplied to use the top OR bottom slots. Or the manufacturer should have provided enough screws to use all four slots.
Another problem could arise during installation as a result of the type of screws supplied. The screws are flat heads, i.e. those with the cone-shaped head. The cone-shaped head tends to wedge in and spread open the mounting slots in the plastic parts when the screws are tightened down. Tighten a little too far like I did and the plastic starts to split. Pan-head screws would have been a better choice.
My 1-year old likes to yank on the cabinet doors a lot and these locks are holding up well. He is not yet tall enough to reach up and press down on the spring lever. I can see how this may be a problem later, since the spring lever is relatively easy to press down and unlatch. If this does become a problem, I plan to try some stiffer springs if I can find some the right size.
The "disable feature" is particularly useful. It is simply a little sliding clip that retains the spring lever in the "down" position when activated. I have an under-the-counter trash can which requires that we open that cabinet door quite often. After the little one goes to bed, the disable feature goes into use to make life a bit more convenient.
I have used other cabinet locks by Safety First, which seem to work fine but allow the cabinet to open a little too far (about 2"). These also lacked the disable feature.
