Adding latch to Vinotemp - Page 2

My 2yr old started pressing all three buttons simultaneously and broke the cooler unit.

I was thinking of installing a lock and key on the door, but did not see one that would fit for a novice to install.

That does look nice, thanks for sharing. I am in the same boat with a 15-month old daughter who likes to get into everything. Fortunately she hasn't realized my vino actually opens yet! But I personally want a lock as it will only be a matter of time and I don't want anyone messing with my cigars and leaving the door open for an extended period of time.

Here is what someone found when I posed the question of looking for a lock. I like it because there is no drilling involved, but it definitely doesn't look that nice. I haven't bought one yet, but probably will...

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't thought about what would happen if one of my little ones got in my humi. Time to start using the lock.
