 Good safety latch Nov 13, 2007
By Melanie
I ordered this latch back several months ago and installed in on my fridge. It is very simple to install - just peel and stick - which is very nice as not all childproofing products are that simple.
It has done a very good job of thwarting my 19 month old from her desire to gain entrance to the fridge. She is not strong enough to break it or get the stick 'em to release and she is unable to manipulate the unlocking device by pushing up a chair to reach the latch.
It is also easy enough to open one handed. It does have a locked open position so that you keep it open at certain times. I would strongly recommend doing this under certain circumstances - say when you're mother is in town and can't remember that there is a child proof latch on the fridge. Because while a 19 month old is probably not strong enough to just rip the whole device off, an adult is after a few pulls.
My advice is to go ahead and order this product - it's better than others I've seen. But order 2 or 3 (as I did) so that when someone inevitably rips it off the side of the fridge, you have a back up handy.
All in all, it's a good product for the money and compared to similar products on the market.

 Fridge Lock Mar 29, 2008
By J. A. Lambie
This did not work even one time to keep our 2 1/2 year old out of our side-by-side fridge. It popped right off. I wish it had worked. We even waited the full 24 hours for the glue/tape to dry.

 Unbeatably well designed and easy to use latch Nov 14, 2011
By Joaquin Oliveras
We had bought another latch that we had to take out in two days because the gap between body and door of the refrigerator killed it and it lost adherence. Baby being relentless, we had to try another solution and this is how we came across this product. The latch comes with two extra pieces (it's a very easy one step even I could do!)to attain perfect attachment. In contrast to other latches I've seen and the one we discarded, this one latches automatically when you close the door. You do not have to remember to close it. This is HUGE as otherwise it's simply impractical and it losses effectiveness. Also, the mechanism to open is the simplest you can conceive. The second day you have it installed you just push with the thumb of the hand you use to open the refrigerator in a natural motion that still leaves the second hand FREE! (other latches require you use both hands to open them!). Finally, it has a mechanism to avoid closing if you want to leave the refrigerator unlatched (e.g. you have guests who are not used to it). These four features (i.e. two extra pieces for perfect alignment, automatic closing, simplest possible opening, and closure blocking) make this latch unbeatable. It's so simple and so fantastic. It's one of those designs that make you want to hug and thank whoever designed it. We buy from Amazon everything from diapers to flat panel displays and this is the first time I write a review (good or bad). The issue is that this simple and cheap latch is so brilliantly designed, executed, and crafted that I wanted to reward the company that makes it with a strong endorsement. Silly but true that my first review is about a petty latch but it's one of those simple things that make life easier, much easier.

One flaw Jun 26, 2011
By N. Gilbert
We've gone through half a dozen of these locks over the last couple of years. They are the sturdiest fridge locks I could find, short of bolting a padlock set up to the fridge. But they do have one major flaw. The lock holds by a tiny little plastic lip on the latch, and that little lip isn't a molded piece of the latch, but glued on. Well. One good pull from an adult guest who can't figure out why the fridge won't open, or the determined day after day yanks of a little toddler, and eventually that little lip breaks off, and there goes the whole set up. Very frustrating, but a single latch will last a few months, and is still the best I can find for this class fridge lock.
Remember to wash the fridge edge well and clean with alcohol before you apply the latch. Then it stays stuck. Never had the glue come off.
