knob lock for french doors?

[boogiemomz]

I need to babyproof a closet with french doors that just pull open, they don't latch shut. I had been hanging a mesh laundry bag with a fairly tight handle over the two knobs, but DD makes quick work of that (she's giving up her nap and just having "quiet time"--hardy har har--in her room), and she's getting in there and going through everything in her drawers, pulling clothes off the rack, just wreaking havoc in general. I need to keep her out. I'm thinking something along the lines of those gadgets that hook around the 2 knobs of cabinets, but those aren't big enough for two regular size knobs of french doors. Today I wrapped some kitchen string around the two knobs and tied a tight knot, but I'll have to cut it off with scissors, so, not really sustainable. I haven't found anything in baby stores for this... is it that uncommon of a problem? Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Would any of these work?

I'm not sure I could get an elastic band the right tightness that I can get it off but she can't. Plus, I would be afraid if she messed with it enough and it broke it could pop off and hit her in the eye or something.

Thanks for the links. I have that first one for the fridge, and it doesn't extend out far enough to cover both knobs. I made the same assumption about the second and fourth links, because they are made for cabinets, not doors. The third one is a possibility. I actually just found this one and ordered it, so hopefully it will work.

It looks like that cord is long enough that it could extend out far enough. Fingers crossed. Thanks again!

We have one of these and really like it. Two of these could be nice with the french doors because it would allow you to easily open one door at a time.

Those look awesome! Report back and let us know how they worked over door knobs... they seem so multi-functional
