Child proof latches on kitchen cabinet doors and drawers drive me crazy! I usually do not remember that the door or drawer has been child proofed with the latch and attempt to open the door only to be reminded that I have to reach in, unlatch the hook, then open the door or drawer. This three step process is not efficient, my fingers are too fat, I need two hands to open the door or drawer, I have to explain this to house guests who are trying to open kitchen drawers and I usually disrupt the contents of the drawer because I forget the door is child proofed.

Why not have a child proofing mechanism for cabinet drawers and cabinet doors that is self-releasing with multiple presses to the outside of the door or drawer rather than a latch and hook mechanism on the inside of the drawer or door. Much like self-releasing cabinets found on Yachts or boats but adjusted so that they would not open with just one press to maintain the child proof aspect.
