Drawer Locks

Just the other day, one of the drawer locks in my trailer broke (and there's only 3 drawers in the entire trailer). Anyway, have any of you used these?
I like the theory of them in that they are easily disengaged (by turning on it on its side) after you park so you don't have to fuss with it all the time, just when on the move.

Thoughts or other suggestions? \

OK, more pictures or explanation - I don't quite understand how they work.

I had something like that on my house cabinets when my son was a baby but that was 30 years ago. The ones I had didn't turn sidways. I would think that some kind of child proof lock would work. The locks in my motorhome have a button that has to be pushed to lock the doors and drawers. I seldom start off that I don't have to pull over and lock something because it is sliding back and forth. Wish they locked automaticly so I wouldn't forget them.

Looks like the baby locks I already have still on my cabinets. You turn it sideways so that they don't catch. Easy to replace. Just look for child proof locks.

None of my cabinets or drawers have anything like that as they all are locked in place when shut. But I do have a cabinet door that I had put on - which doesn't lock when shut - so that might be the thing to keep it from rattling. It rarely rattles, but does on occasion - will look at them and some of the other child locks (always mean to - never do).

These things only allow the drawer to open a little way and then you have to stick your hand in there and push down on the white stick thing and open it the rest of the way...something difficult (hopefully impossible) for a small child). Supposedly, these you can lift out and reinsert sideways so the 'catch' doesn't do it's job.
