Child proof Red Sea Reefer cabinets?

[aaron186]

I was wondering if anyone has a good way to child proof the cabinet doors on the Red Sea Reefer.

Its difficult because these are spring doors you simply push.
Years ago I had similar type doors and ran screw with black heads that blended with cabinet doors. Four turns and screws were out of hole.
You can do the same with white head screws or get wood screws and paint heads white

If you can envision barn doors with brackets holding a 2×4. I would try and do something like that on the inside. Drill a couple holes and glue in some high strength magnets into your "2×4", that way you can use a "magnetic key" to move the "2×4" and unlock the door.... thats what came to mind

There are child locks that use a separate magnet to unlock the door. Totally invisible from the outside and I'm sure it could.be rigged up to work with the RedSea cabinet.

Those are perfect. Infact ive had a couple customers for work have these. Kinda threw me off cuz i couldnt figure out how to get under the sink

We have a separate magnet for our RS doors to help them stick. It's not intended for childproofing, but if you got a strong magnet -- or if they have a magnet intended for childproofing as mentioned above -- easy win.

This works for my stand.

This is the way. Any child-“proof” lock that has a puzzle or mechanism that has to be manipulated from the front will only slow them down by a few seconds once they figure it out.

We use the magnet type on some stuff and the white clasp posted above. Both work but the magnets are invisible so less unsightly.

Thank you guys. I saw the magnet ones and was wondering if it will be a pain to get a magnet out each time but I definitely don’t want something on the outside to make it ugly. I’ll give those a try first
