Child Safety: Velcro® Quick Locks
Rate this post:
Need to lock up the fridge, oven, cupboard, etc. to keep out the kids (or pets!)?
Anywhere you can place this lock on a door and around a corner edge, it will work!
Cut two pieces - 2" x 2" (5 cm x 5 cm) - of self-stick loop Velcro®.
Cut one piece - 6" x 2" (5 cm x 15 cm) of hook Velcro®. Cut this piece longer if needed to wrap around corner of fridge or cabinet.
Attach one short piece of loop Velcro® at each end of the long hook Velcro®. ⇒

Clean the area with an alcohol wipe first, for a strong adhesive effect. Peel off protective papers, and stick loop Velcro® pieces into place - one on the door, one on the side - about 6" apart (or further if you cut a longer Velcro® strap). Let dry overnight for best results.
To use: Just unfasten hook Velcro®, and open the door. Then refasten when the door is shut.
Thanks to Catherine for this Frugal Baby Tip!
