   Do yourself a favor and DON’T BUY THIS!! This product broke within the first day of us having it from my 18 month old still trying to open the refrigerator. You can’t return it and they won’t refund your money for it, so save yourself some time and look elsewhere!!

   We bought this latch after our toddlers got into the fridge spilled grape juice and cracked eggs on our floor.

   We followed the instructions for putting it on (which were very simple) and started using it right away. It has been working perfectly. Even during the first couple weeks of us forgetting that it was there and pulling on the handle, it hasn’t budged. It has a small button that you push as you pull the handle. I put it right at the top of the door’s handle and don’t even think about pushing the button anymore. Our boys can’t get into it, either, even on close inspection standing on a chair.

   There is also a little on/off switch that you can use if are going to be opening and closing the door a lot (Holidays, big dinners) or if guests come over (Grandparents, dinner guests). We have the classic fridge on bottom, freezer on top, and it is working perfectly. I’m not sure how it would work on some of the other models, but it is great for us.

   I’ve been searching for this product. I had this on my fridge for my first child and it worked great! It is easy to attach and it works well. My daughter cannot manipulate the latch to open it, and it has the option to disable the latch whenever you need to–like when company comes to visit. The only problem we have with it is forgetting to either tell visitors about it or disable it…we’ve ripped it right off 3 times (and consequently had to replace it). Adults seem to find it necessary to give a hefty yank on the door when it doesn’t open with the first tug. I’d recommend this product to anyone. It works well on side-by-side refrigerators as well, though you need to buy 2 of them. GREAT PRODUCT!

   This did not work even one time to keep our 2 1/2 year old out of our side-by-side fridge. It popped right off. I wish it had worked. We even waited the full 24 hours for the glue/tape to dry.
