Installing cabinet child-safety latches on drawers

|

So it was time to install another round of cabinet child-safety latches so Dominic wouldn't go through everything he shouldn't be in.  Kids.. 

Here is a photo progression of how I installed them on a drawer.  There's also a photo of one of the cabinets-- those are a bit easier, but in all, it's a pretty simple system to master in the first place. I hope Dominic doesn't think so.  ;)

 

Well, Dominic, meet your maker.  He's going to install some cabinet locks.

Perfect!  :) 

Had some supplies left over and thought that all went pretty easily, so I whipped together a few more drawers and cabinets. Here's the under-side of the sink cabinet.
