Locks that work!

Sooooo glad that school is back in session! I love my daughter but she drives me nuts when she is with me 24/7 for days on end, like spring break. She has been doing really well and her teacher says that she behaves well and plays really well with others, I wish the same were true here at home. We recently upgraded all of the locks on cabinets etc because we are so frustrated with constantly having to get on her about getting into cabinets and in the refidgerator. We felt like we just didn't know what else to do so I spoke with her ped about what options we had and she gave us a few. The last straw was when I got home from delivering papers to find most of the food from the fridge, including eggs, bacon bits, all the fruit and veggies, plus more scattered all over her brother's room. The eggs were broken perfectly on some and the yolk still in tact, pretty impressive if they weren't on the carpet. The doctor told us about magnetic locks and finding an actual padlock for the fridge. I went online to amazon.com and found a padlock and it works great! Not only did we not have to drill into our fridge, the sticky stuff doesn't come off easy so she can't pull it off! If this is something you need here is the link to it: Black & Gray (Two Tone) Refrigerator Lock with Padlock
We also found some magnetic locks for the cabinets and you take the handles off and there is another magnet that you use to open the cabinets, these work wonderful also! Cabinet Locks: Magnetic Tot Lok Starter Set . These two things have saved us so much energy wasted on having to continuously get on her about getting into these things, AND no more eggs on the carpet lol.
I should mention we did have the regular cabinet locks, which she learned to push down and open the cabinets easily, and the fridge lock from walmart that just slid in and she learned how to open it, then started tearing them off the fridge and freezer.
