Buying advice

When choosing cabinet locks, consider the type of cabinet handles (knob vs. handle) and surface (wood, metal, laminate). Magnetic locks offer convenience but may require drilling; adhesive locks are easier but may not hold on textured surfaces. For high-traffic cabinets, opt for stronger adhesive or mechanical locks. Also consider ease of use for adults, as some locks can be frustrating to open frequently.
