Default Keeping a toddler out of drawers and cabinets

As grandparents, my wife and I do frequent toddler babysitting.

The kitchen cabinets, drawers, and other compartments are very
tempting for our grand-daughter to investigate. We are looking
for a way to keep this closed and inaccessible to a young
child, while still allowing adults to easily open and close the
doors and drawers.

Unlike 30 years ago when our own children were toddlers, we now
have very high quality custom cabinetry and drawers, and do NOT
want to drill or attach any fasteners which deface or damage
the cabinets / doors. The fasteners were used 30 years ago
required drilling holes into both the doors and the cabinets in
order to attach the plastic latches. This is NOT an option for
our current cabinets.

Does anybody know of any device or fastener or method which
provides a secure and reliable latch to children, easy access
to adults, and easy removal without leaving any permanent
damage to the custom cabinetry?

Thanks in advance for your assistance and suggestions.

Here's a novel concept. You claim to be babysitting, SO DO IT!
Don't just turn the brat loose while you doze off in the rocker.
You're way too senile to take on responsibility of watching lil
ones. Those kids should be taken from the parents, for letting
you watch them. Then, the parents should be sterilized, they're
also too irresponsible for having kids.

Just worry about changing your own damn diaper!


Jimbo, did you have too much beer?


Not enough! A few more & I'll really let the old goat have it.


The "old goat" you refer to is in his early 60's, and will leave you
panting like a dog in heat on the racket ball court. You are entirely
rude and also entirely ill-informed.
