 Pretty nice. Works just fine. Could use 2 improvements.Jan 02, 2010
By Dan Huse
At first glance, this lock appears a little cheap. However, it does function nicely. We have had no problems with it whatsoever. However, there are 2 improvements that I think could be built into the lock. First, like a tape measure, the cable retracts into the lock when it is not being used. While clever and handy, this feature is also not very well engineered. The retracting mechanism seems clanky to me, and I won't be surprised when it one day will not retract any longer. Second, the cable release button should lock when the cable is locked, and it does not. In other words, if you want to use this lock with less than all of the cable pulled out, you cannot do it. Since the cable release button works when the combination is scrambled, you can simply push the button and pull out the rest of the cable. It would be nice if they had designed this button to lock when the combination is scrambled. Then, you could use any length of cable you wish.

This "child-proof" lock is the only one that I've found that will fit through the decorative handles on a Chinese-inspired cabinet I own. That's what earned it the second star. That said, the cable winding mechanism doesn't lock, so it will extend even when the end of the cable has been inserted into the lock. The combination lock is only effective at keeping the end of the cable in the body of the lock, nothing is stopping my child from extending the cable by yanking on the lock except his own initiative, and nothing will stop him from reaching inside the cabinet and pulling out the contents once he figures this out.
 works like a charmApr 20, 2012

This has worked so much better than any other product that I have used to lock my fridge. My son has autism and loves to drop raw eggs on the floor. This product is much more durable than it looks and is easy to use, I don't have a problem with the size changing, it's simple to readjust - use a sharpie and mark the cord where it, so you know how long to make it if you need to - I haven't had much of a problem with that. It is a great solution to my problem and I love it.
Good concept but due to flaws not a good choice for curious kidsMar 29, 2012
By Jen
We have gone thru three of these locks in the last 6 months as we have a 2 year old who is a master at thinking outside the baby gate (we have yet to find a baby gate or child safety lock that he can't open, and thus the addition of a combo lock to slow him down). After searching for a combo lock that we felt he couldn't open we ordered this one. The lock initially fixed the problem, but we found that it does have a major Achilles heel. Our child figured out that once the lock is engaged, if you rotate the white part of the lock over itself repeatedly(thus twisting the cable), the cable will eventually break off from the metal latching piece. After a few rounds of twisting the cable, small sharp metal strands began to poke thru. The cable also kinked up so much that it made it difficult to create a snug fit and retract it. This wasn't a good lock for us, but depending on your needs and the curiosity factor of the person(s) your trying to keep out this may be a good choice.
Pros: The loop style lock fits in unusual spaces and the cord can be extended or retracted to make a snug fit. Combination code is changeable and slows the older kids down.
Cons: Cable becomes kinked easily and stays that way making it hard to retract. Repeated twisting of the lock will snap the cable off at the metal insertion point leaving sharp cable strands sticking out.

This cable lock is great for keeping little ones out of your cabinets We used this on our island where we had 2 adjacent doors. The cable just about fits. I wish it was a tad bit longer, but this length keeps the doors shut tight. The combination lock is also a great feature. As soon as my little one saw those black buttons she immediately started pushing on them. I will be ordering more of these to secure additional cabinet doors.
