Childproofing one's kitchen is an important way to prevent many of the tragic accidents that occur each year. There are many myths associated with kitchen safety, and by addressing five such myths, ModularKitchenCabinets.com hopes to create a safer, more child-friendly kitchen environment.
Myth #1
The primary goal of cabinet safety locks is to prevent small children from getting into accessible base cabinets.
FACT: While it is true that magnetic cabinet locks will help keep toddlers out of base cabinets, cabinet safety locks have other equally important functions. Magnetic cabinet locks are a wonderful way to prevent the fingers of older children from getting caught in cabinet drawers. Likewise, locking drawers can prevent children of all ages from reaching into drawers for a spoon and instead removing a sharp knife or other dangerous object. Cabinet locks are also a great way to safeguard your fragile items - even those that are stored in upper wall cabinets. It only takes a minute for an older child to jump onto the counter in search of a cereal bowl. Stumbling upon the wrong cabinet can bring a sad end to grandma's heirloom china. Keeping your fragile and valuable items in a locked cabinet will ensure that they remain in tact at all times.
Myth #2
Bottles of household cleaners, medications and toxic solvents are always childproofed and sealed securely.
FACT: According to a study done by the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, an estimated one in five children will be exposed to a toxic substance before they reach the age of five. Moreover, 79% of all cases reported to poison control centers involve children, 64% of whom are under the age of five. Keeping both bathroom and kitchen cabinets locked securely is an easy way to prevent these devastating tragedies.
Myth #3
My Kids Know Better
FACT: When raising children, there is no such thing as a sure thing. Even when you think that your children are completely trained, they may still be tempted to do something dangerous or wrong. Whether it's sneaking a candy when they know it's forbidden or attempting to reach something that was strategically placed on a high shelf, children often submit to their temptations when they think nobody is looking. Securing your cabinets with a magnetic cabinet lock is one way to make sure that your fragile and toxic items are stored away safely; you can never be too cautious, even if you think that your child knows better than to reach for something prohibited.
Myth #4
Cabinet Locks are Only Necessary in the Homes of Parents with Young Children
FACT: Cabinet safety locks avert accidents in many places other than a child's own home. Magnetic locks are ideal for averting accidents at grandma's house, at school and at the doctor's office. Preparing your space for the arrival of curious and active children is an easy way to make sure that accidents don't happen, so that you can rest easy and enjoy their time in your home.
Myth #5
All Cabinet Locks Were Created Equal
FACT: While most cabinet locks effectively prevent children from squeezing their entire hand into a cabinet and accessing its contents, many cabinet locks allow for the cabinet to be opened slightly. This requires adults to disable the lock from inside the cabinet and allows children to get their fingers caught in the slightly open space. Magnetic cabinet locks do not require that the lock be disengaged from inside the cabinet. When magnetic cabinet locks are engaged, the cabinet does not open at all, which further reduces the opportunity for small fingers to get stuck inside a slightly open drawer or cabinet.
Keeping your kitchen safe is vital for the health, safety and peace of mind of your family. Magnetic cabinet locks ensure that you can focus on your culinary activities without having to worry about the safety of your children. This peace of mind is truly priceless.
