Locking of Doors to Medicine/Cleaning Products Etc
I'm replacing my door knobs in my house for all of my interior doors and also moving things around. I have my medicine and shampoo/cleaning products now in my linen closet in the bathroom. It's all on the top shelf, but I wonder since the doorknob locks, if that is sufficient. I also have one that locks on my basement door too and wondered if that was sufficient instead of putting one of those plastic grip things that the kids can't turn. To unlock the door you would have to have a coin or something similar to put into the lock and turn it. there is no way to do it with a finger or a fingernail.

You might to check with your regs, but I would think that would be fine. It would be here, anyway. I worked at a center that used locks on cabinet doors that could be opened with a piece of mulch (guess how I learned that) and state always considered those just fine, as long as the actual keys were out of reach. Not that anyone ever told state that they could opened with mulch, lol.

So much better than any other child proof locking device I've used. |
I always wonder if the parents have all this stuff locked up? How do their children go into the bathroom at home if everything is out and unlocked? :confused:
Everything I have locked up, my daycare kids have never even remotely tried to get into in the almost 21 years I have been open. My own children didn't ever bother anything. I have everything locked up but just makes me wonder how these children survive at home :rolleyes: |
I LOVE my tot locks - magnetic locks.

Same as my Christmas tree, the easter village that i have on a table right by my door that they walk by a hundred times a day etc. Not to mention the things that we have to have locked up. Example toothpaste. Because you routinely hear of kids ODing on toothpaste. ugh |

Just to clarify, the dcb was asked to try to open the cabinets by me, he wasn't trying to get in when he wasn't supposed to. :D Also, I've never really had an issue with kids going into cabinets and getting into things because I teach them it's not a play spot. :rolleyes: |

I did ask her why they didn’t tell me that in May because I would of already had it done. She said they must of not noticed. I think they all interpret the rules different. |
