Description

Curious kids try to get into anything and everything, but the Safety 1st OutSmart™ Multi Use Lock helps you keep them out with the first ever decoy button. Your child will think that the decoy button opens the lock, but pushing on it has no effect. You’ll know that the flexible surface hides the actual secret to opening the lock.

This multi-use lock prevents your little explorer from getting into a variety of appliances and can also be used to secure cabinets. It is easily attached with an adhesive and is removable when the lock is no longer required.

In side by side comparisons with leading competitors using real life toddlers, the Safety 1st Outsmart Multi-Use Lock was strong enough to keep even the cleverest of toddlers out. Even in lab testing using state of the art mechanical pull force equipment, Safety 1st outperformed the competition. Toddler Tested. Proven Stronger. This is a 4 pack.

Q: I put on fridge, been great. One day opened & strap broke, I have both mounts stuck on fridge. Pretty secure, suggestions help to remove or loosen adhesive without causing damage.

submitted by Sueanne - 6 years ago
  • A: Hi Sueanne, great question. We would recommend using a blow-dryer to slightly heat the adhesive then use dental floss to break the seal.

submitted by Voltkitty - 7 years ago

I loved the concept, but unfortunately the adhesive just didn't hold up and my two year old ripped it off after a couple of days. I need something strong for our sliding back door.

In theory this is a great idea.... but if the adhesive doesn't stick they are useless. I installed these in lazy Susan corner cabinets, and worked great for to secure the motion this type of cupboard. Too bad the the most important feature of the product failed, the adhesive.

It's a good idea. I installed it on my fridge. Useless after two weeks. The adhesive didn't hold, so I replaced it, as I had purchased a two-pack. Second one lasted a week. Since the plastic under the adhesive isn't solid, it can't be glued on.

It has a flexible strap for custom fit. It was so easy to install and pivots out of the way for periods of non-use. The decoy button even confuses the grandparents. I feel very safe using this is my house!!!

Disregard my previous review. It was my 'operator' error. I look at the pic to install instead of applying my critical thinking skills. Just put the push button release on the side of the fridge....problem solved. My bad. It's a great product

Solid lock

The Safety 1st Outsmart Multi-Use Lock is a solid door lock. It's a great option for refrigerator and freezer doors, especially if you have littles like mine who love to open but not fully close the fridge and freezer. The decoy button is genius. I really like that the static side had a hinge so that the lock didn't have to stick out when not in use. The only teeny tiny design detail I didn't love is that because of the side of the door I had to put the lock on, the Safety 1st logo was upside down. I wish it had the logo on each side so that one side was always right side up. *Note: I received this product to test through Stellar Product Testing Panel.*

I have been using this product professionally and personally for over a month now. Within my own home, I use it to keep my forever snacking toddler out of the pantry. It is great! It has even deterred my husband from snacking before dinner because the decoy button tricked him too! Bonus! I work in the autism field and we are always working on having our learners communicate with their parents/guardians for their wants and needs. Many of our clients have out smarted the child proof products around. I have shared with item with 5 families already. My clients are now asking again rather than having a free access to the pantry.

Decent appliance lock

4 out of 5 stars
- 10 months ago
originally posted on doreljuvenile.com
The lock was easy to install and did work very well in keeping my 18 month old out of the dishwasher. She's never really tried to unlock it, but the decoy button is a clever design that will probably give us a few more months of use once she tries to remove it. It definitely is an effective child proofer! The negatives for me are the limited uses and the adhesive. I can't think of how I would use this lock outside of appliances. I probably wouldn't use it for cabinets, primarily because of the adhesive. We've used this brand with this adhesive before, and the adhesive is so hard to remove. Even using the recommended dental floss trick, I spent hours removing chunks of adhesive and residue. I didn't really have another option for our dishwasher though, so it does its job! I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for an unbiased review.

The multi - use lock is perfect for use around my home! My child is facinated by the decoy button and is stumped when she tries to unlock it herself! Very high quality product all the way down to the packaging. Thank you for coming up with this brilliant idea, Safety 1st!

I absolutely love this lock! The design is perfect as it can be used on so many different things! I went out and bought more for all of our cabinets, fridge, and doors! It works perfectly to keep our laundry room doors closed to keep our kiddo and dog out! It's easy for us to unlatch but strong enough our kiddo can't unlatch it! It's so easy to install it took us less than 2 minutes to install it! I received the product from the stellar product testing panel and will definitely be buying more for the rest of our house! So far we've used this model on all of our kitchen cabinets, our fridge, and our doors in our living/kitchen!

Great idea but adhesive is weak

I put this lock on our oven because my 2 year old has been pulling it open while things are baking inside. It was easy to install and doesn't look too obtrusive (for a child safety lock), and both my 2 and 4 year old were stumped by the decoy button. Hard to say if the oldest would figure it out with time, so you might want to shield their view with your hand when opening. But unfortunately, the adhesive already popped off after just one day. I haven't turned the oven on yet but did use the stove, so maybe it was the heat, or it doesn't adhere well to metal and glass. I stuck it back on but don't expect it to last long, especially if (when) my toddler tries to pull open the door. So be aware that it may not adhere well to certain materials and/or heat may cause it to come off. It might be better suited to a simple cupboard door. I received this product for free from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review.
