We have a pantry with doors that have hinges in the middle so that the doors fold outward when they are opened. I have seen a child lock for such doors; but they must be put on top of the doors. Our doors are too tall for me to reach their tops without getting a step stool to climb on, so I would prefer not to use the one lock I have seen advertised. Does anyone have any ideas for how to child-proof these doors? Any help would be greatly appreciated! All I can think of right now would be to loop a wire chain and lock intended for bicycles between the handles of the two doors, and then unlock and unloop the chain every time I wished to get into the pantry (which would be several times a day). That, too, would be a pain to operate, but at least it wouldn't involve getting out a step stool.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you may come up with!
