I got this because my 3 year old goes into the fridge any time I am not in the room, takes out the eggs and throws them around the kitchen and house. Three year old figured this out the SECOND I put it on Then I couldn't get it off! Part of it is broken and stuck to the fridge!

I have used many different fridge guards, but this is by far the best. I have a very mischievous, intelligent dog who likes to help himself to snacks in the refrigerator. This lock works for me the best. He's never been able to figure it out, as smart as he is. And, best of all, when he tries to get into the fridge, it opens a crack and then bounces back and closes itself. The other locks will stop him from completely opening the door but they will remain open at least a crack.

This stayed on for about a week, but eventually the adhesive in the longer part wore off. Im super bummed because it was working really well. With the other type of fridge lock my son can just pull it open because they never latch well (but the adhesive was stronger). I'm really disappointed.

*Yes I followed all directions in apply it. We have several baby proof items that require adhesive tape.

I was tired of broken eggs, cheese everywhere, and the "fridger door" (as my 2 year old son say's) open all the time. I was very careful to clean the area of the fridge door with alcohol first and then let the adhesive set overnight without opening the door. I bet that is the key to getting the unit to work properly. I've only had it a month, but there is no stress in the plastic yet. My son simply stopped trying to open the "fridger." I was lucky for that; I am sure some kids just work really hard to pry it open. I forgot about the lock a couple times and pulled the door really hard myself, but it still didn't budge. I expect it to last several more months if not more. For the price; I'll be okay with that because I like how this particular latch works and looks. It closes itself when I close the fridge. Some people may have a different fridge door that causes it to work differently or break easier, but I'm glad I tried it. I'm going to add a picture of it on my fridge too for other people to reference. I had a hard time figuring exactly where to put it, but the way it is seems perfect.

Being in the military and every house appliance is different, we recently moved to a new house. Our almost 2 year old figured he was able to open our new fridge much easier than the old one and get out whatever he can get out before the parents come into sight to stop him. So i found this product, read the reviews, and took the chance and order it. Was pretty easy to put on and it worked. We as parents just had to get use to it, lol. Our almost 2 year old is unable to open the fridge and hasn't ripped off yet, its been a month to 2 months now. I love it. Sadly my 3 year old figured it out after several weeks, he kinda yanks the hinge down so I'm afraid it will give out after couple more months, but we will see. I highly recommend it for parents with younger children, 2 and under (or a young 3 year old).
