When I first saw the Fridge Locker locking storage device at www.FridgeLocker.com my first thought wasn’t hiding my snacks from roomates, protecting my lunch from co-workers, or hiding special treats from my children.  I’m a pretty sharing person, so these sorts of thoughts don’t really appeal to me.

What I DID think about was an email I remember reading from a dear woman who was parenting some children with a case of attachment disorder.  These little ones would destroy her home, go into the fridge at all times of day and night, and she had resorted to locking her cabinets each evening.  Seeing the Fridge Locker made me think about how surely other parents who are living with children who have some behavioral problems – whether fostered children, adopted, special needs, etc. – could use a device like this.  Well, hey, come to think of it – I – can use a device like this when it comes to my very busy toddler who can climb anywhere and is always finding my paperwork and throwing it on the floor!

In such cases it can be effectively used to keep medications, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and anything else that would be harmful to the child (I can think of so much!) out of their reach by encasing it in durable polyurethane with a sturdy combination lock.  Working equally well in the fridge, freezer, or pantry, the Fridge Locker can easily fulfill needs beyond those that it’s primarily marketed for.
