We can block off the kitchen and laundry area with one gate. As the kitchen is new, DH does not want to risk damaging the cabinets with child locks. Also I find it safer to keep her out completely - see below
One thing to consider is the safety of the oven. Ours is a new under-bench stainless steel one and the stainless steel is actually quite sharp where it wraps around the edge. Maggie manage to slice her finger on it. Took me a day to work out what she did it on, as only baby fingers are small enough to get in between the door and the cabinetry.
