Can you recommend cabinet locks?

15 years ago

Our twelve month old twin grandchildren get into everything. We just moved into a new home. I want to put locks on all the kitchen cabinets so they can't open them. Can you recommend a really good kind that will not damage the cupboards. I do not want to drill holes. I haven't been able to find any reviews on the internet, only adds. Thank you.

Maybe instead of drilling, you can use some kind of adhesive?? Good luck :) Christy

When I saw Maine in your subject line I immediately thought of Kennebec and Cook & Cook Cabinetry. Both in Maine. But these are not going to be budget. I had a thought --that if you called and talked to them and explained your situation they might be able to give you some guidance. Worth looking into. When I was initially planning I talked by email to Sherry at Cook & Cook. She is very helpful. It is a family business and their cabinetry is gorgeous. Beautiful inspiration photos on their website.

Hi everyone - I am also using Section cabinets to create a console for my home office, and then I'm using "Semihandmade" to create the custom drawer / door fronts. I am having huge concerns however with the filing cabinet solution. The Section cabinet frame I am using for the filing cabinet is 18W X 15D X15H. I also bought the Medium Maximera drawer. My issue is that the back of the Maximera drawer is only 5 1/2 inches tall and i need it to be at least 10 inches tall so I can screw a hardware filing cabinet mount into the front and the back. I'm not a fan of placing in plastic or cardboard items that fit inside and hold the files, I know it works well, but I'd really rather this be more professional and have the metal glides. This would be easy to install if only the back was at least 10 inches. Does anyone have any ideas on how to increase or extend the height of the back of the Maximera drawer? They don't make the Deep / High Maximera drawers for the 15D and 15H - so the Medium drawer is my only solution. I also have to use the Maximera drawer as "Semihandmade" is using these drawers as the template to create my custom drawer / door fronts. Thus, it seems my only option here is to figure out how to increase / extend the height of the back of the Medium Maximera drawer. Any suggestions would be beyond appreciated, thank you!

Oh yes, Rachel - Etsy! When we redid our bathroom, we got our 2 knobs for the cabinet on Etsy. They are these beautiful, ethereal polymer clay knobs with swirls of blue and green, encased in glass. Love them!
