    Default no-drill drawer locks?

    My 11 month old son has become fascinated with drawers. Our house is well baby proofed so there's nothing in the drawers that can hurt him, but he tends to pull open the drawer and then close it with his little fingers still inside. Ouch!!! I think this problem will be relatively short-lived, so I don't want to go crazy and drill holes in all my drawers, but the adhesive locks I've seen allow him to open the drawers just enough to pinch his little fingers-- which is the very problem we're trying to prevent! Are there any no-drill drawer locks that will solve our problem?

    Some of the magnetic ones might work for your needs. We have the Kidco ones on some cabinets and they are great, but they didn't work with our drawer styles.

    I have the same exact problem. Tons of cabinet locks but most of the drawer locks allow the drawer to open a inch or so, just enough for the fingers.

    Ikea has a adhesive lock that might work. Im gonna try it.

    We just removed the drawer pulls from the drawers. Worked for us....
