A simple multi-latch can do wonders!
ANCHORING FURNITURE
Anchoring furniture is one of the most important parts of a childproofing project. Dressers, night stands and tippy furniture with drawers or cabinet doors can be anchored with strap style furniture anchors. Using quality products insures the best result. GooGooProof uses anchors with double stitched 1″ webbing, metal wall & dresser brackets and heavy duty metal cam buckles.
There are several other methods of anchoring furniture such as tall book cases or difficult to move furniture. Click the read more button for additional information.

Latch the dishwasher?
Toddlers have amazing upper body strength! Don't underestimate them.
Toddlers have a mind of their own so don't leave them alone for even a second.
Dishwashers have scalding hot water as well as sharp items. latching is highly recommended.
Cabinet Latch Choices
Cabinet latches come in two basic designs. Hook and cleat designs and magnetic designs. The majority of projects completed by GooGooProof include the installation of KidCo Swivel Latches.
KidCo Swivel Latches are engineered in the USA for durability, reliability and convenience. They can be swiveled out of action when not needed. Their unique design makes installation possible for many variations of storage units (i.e.cabinets and drawer layouts). The durability and functionality of this product is remarkable.
Magnetic cabinet latches can be useful for many projects. Click Read More for information about KidCo Swivel Latches and magnetic cabinet latches.
Window Safety
Window limiters come in several variations. This may include hardware mounted, adhesive mounted and mechanical applications such as window bars.
Sliding windows, (that open up and down and side to side), are the most common window. The window limiter we use for those applications is the Cardinal Window Warden. It’s a small device but very well engineered with built in safety features.
Other types of windows such as crank windows or windows that tilt out need to be addressed with other types of window limiters. Follow the “Read More” link for additional information on window limiters.

KidCo Swivel Latches were engineered in the USA for incredible strength, reliability and unique design for installation variations. GooGooProof trusts and uses this latch on a large percentage of projects.
Exterior Door Safety
Doors leading from your home out into the big scary world need to be childproofed. Standard door hardware is easily defeated by toddlers and door alarms do not physically stop toddlers from going out. Our belief is that if you are going to childproof an exterior door it should also increase your home security. We frequently install two Cardinal products. The first is, the “Door Guardian“. It’s used primarily for front and perhaps back door applications.
Door Safety for Front Doors
Doors leading from your home to the big scary world need to be childproofed. Standard door hardware is easily defeated by toddlers. Door alarms do not stop toddlers. Cardinal’s exterior door bolts are a terrific solution. We frequently install two of their products. The first product, the “Door Guardian“, is commonly used for front door applications. It works well as a childproofing device but also increases home security by fortifying the door against forced entry, i.e. someone trying to kick in the door.
Sliding Door Safety
The second door bolt made by Cardinal that GooGooProof frequently installs is the “Patio Door Guardian“. It is a well designed piece of hardware that looks great, works smoothly, allows the door to be locked open 4” for ventilation, increases home security and will add value to your home.
There are several other devices that can function as childproofing devices. Click the Read More button for more ideas.
Closet Door Limiters
Bi-Folding-Closet Door Limiter
This device is simple but works well. There’s nothing to install. The device just rests on top of the closet door. Just slide it across the door junction to prevent the door from opening outward. If you have a closet near your front door with a bi-fold door this device could allow you to create a safe room for jackets, back-packs or purses belonging to guests. Insist that guests store such items in this closet and you could remove dangerous items from babies access.
We use Safety Innovations brand and KidCo brand.
Door Bolts
Doors leading from your home into the big scary world need to be childproofed. Standard door hardware is easily defeated by toddlers. Cardinals exterior door bolts are a terrific solution. They carry two designs. The “Door Guardian” applies to front, back or garage doors. The “Patio Door Guardian” applies to sliding patio doors as pictured.

Multi-latches
Multi-latches are devices used to secure items like garbage cans, toilet lids, refrigerators and many other applications. The many multi-latch styles and configurations vary in quality and usefulness. A few points to consider are the action of the latch, where it will be used and the configurability of the latch.
