Baby proofing cabinets - handyman recommendations?

... can move chair and use as ladder to get on top of counter ...

I would be worried about this.

My kids never learned this habit... they knew what was off-limit but like I said... we watched them all the time.

we keep saying no and we are with her 100% of the time.  both wife and me work from home and wife's mother watches her while we are working upstairs.  i know she gets that its bad cause she will wait by the chair until one of us makes eye contact and then start climbing it

whats more scary is that our unit in ave 1 has one of those doors that unlocks by just pulling the handle down so now that she can pull the handle down, she pretty much can walk out!

Yes, for all you high achiever parents do teach your toddlers the complex theory of relativity but don't teach them the secret button on the latch. This is the real reason why we have 2400 point SAT students that get run over by a bus.

Once the rascals learn the switch the entire line of devices is no good. This is how I taught my toddler. Put the toddlers fingers in between cabinet doors or between toilet seat and cover and slam really hard on them. Overly protective parents actually do more harm to the kids for the long term.

You add so much value to all the discussions. 

ROFL.
