Fridge Child Lock (Safety)

cults3d

If you happen to have the same fridge as me, there are two screws put into the door surface right between the upper freezer and lower fridge. I believe they are so you can swap the direction the fridge opens from side to side. They are mounted just right to add a small flat panel with some cutouts to the side that allow you to insert a rope, with a knot on the end, to "lock" the fridge from inquisitive toddlers. In the photos, you can see some scrap material used as a rope however I later picked up some ~3mm paracord and found this would work well too (and it looks a lot better too although once you start safety proofing for kids, looks are pretty low down on the list after a year or two). (and yes, I see a bit of cleaning on the fridge door is needed!)
