I also switched stuff around - I put everything from the upper cabinets that wasn't breakable or dangerous under the sink and put the cleaning products up higher. That way I don't care if he opens any lower cabinets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drill-free-childproofing#post-1874088 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:28:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 1874088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have tension mounted gate and kiscords holding our cabinets together- they only work on side by side knobs, not single cabinets or handles. Our drawers are really heavy so she can't open them yet. So far she isn't really that into the cabinets anyway- fingers crossed that continues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drill-free-childproofing#post-1874084 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:26:52 +0000 edelweiss 1874084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we lived in an apartment when LO first became mobile. I took anything dangerous (cleaners and blades) and moved them into top shelves. i didn't use any cabinet locking mechanism, but i should qualify that to say we lived in a relatively small apartment where we could be on top of LO all the time. </p> <p>although i never childproofed the liquor cabinet or moved the liquor, and for some reason he never showed interest. he did like taking things out of the other cabinets though. it was just a lot of cleaning up afterwards, nothing dangerous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drill-free-childproofing#post-1874081 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:25:30 +0000 blackbird 1874081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had reusable zip ties that looped through the cabinet handles. No drilled holes anywhere in our house! Our gates are tension loaded </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drill-free-childproofing#post-1874075 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:23:41 +0000 sorrycharlie 1874075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: lol I used two carabiners to secure our cabinets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drill-free-childproofing#post-1874073 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:22:43 +0000 Freckles 1874073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm probably the worst person to give recommendations because we used elastic bands around our cabinet handles. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drill-free-childproofing#post-1874070 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:22:09 +0000 sorrycharlie 1874070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeydew: I love these! <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Custom-Purpose-Strap/dp/B003IP8RRM" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Custom-Purpose-Strap/dp/B003IP8RRM</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drill-free-childproofing#post-1874064 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:21:03 +0000 Honeydew 1874064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS is in discovery mode. Thankfully he hasn't discovered cabinets yet. We have to get the cabinets and drawers childproofed soon. </p> <p>Any recos on non drill type of cabinet childproofing? We intend on selling the house soon. </p>
