    Dreambaby mag locks - worth the money?

    Well we went to bunnings and they had 4 locks + key for $34.95 (4 locks without key were $37.95/2 locks with key $32.95) so thought the price was pretty good so we bought 20!!!! (5 packs) 16 for our kitchen/bathroom and 4 for mum n dads dangerous cupboards. Just have to install now!

    Do they work well on drawers on the rolling tracks?

    I have tried a few different plastic ones that are supposed to work on those types of drawers and they don't always catch.. and the annoying thing is they open a tad until they do catch and DD can just get her hand in there (she is a skinny little thing) and 1 by 1 pull out all my stuff.. drives me nuts!

    Yael - I think as long as there is room to mount the "catch" on the side - then it will work ok.

    They DO break. But that's in childcare, after a loooot of use. Loss of magnet was not so much an issue in that setting, I never had it happen, but when the magnet gets a bit old you have to get it in exactly the right spot. Also, repeated use can wear down the surface and leave a mark. But again, that's childcare, maybe more intensive use? Hard to say. Anyway, definitely effective, definitely reduce finger jams.
