At first, we bought the stupid plastic drawer locks. Well, when little Chloe wants in, she's gonna yank and pull and pry until she gets in - even to the point of tipping over furniture.
I heard about "magnetic locks" and thought it sounded cool, but unnecessary. Now with mechanical and into everything Chloe, I'm realizing that there is no "child-proof" only "child-resistant" - and it just buys you enough time to think to yourself, "Hey, the kids are quiet. I wonder what's wrong!?"
I have to say, these are pricey, but for greater peace of mind than plastic, it's worth it. I've had them on the "chemical areas" and knife drawers. I can't say if they are easy to install or not, Ryan did that part. They seemed a little tricky, but well worth it.

Not a mom of twins - just a mom of 2 BUT these are the BEST product! We thought they were a bit pricey, and after having the cheap plastic ones break several times (replacing every single one after 8 months) we decided to take the plunge and go for it. We found some on Ebay for a bit cheaper than at the stores.. We've had them installed for over a year and not one has "broke" - Installation can be a bit tricky on solid wood doors, but if you just follow the instructions they work! Best geeky mom purchase ever!
