These look great!!!  Does it work only on cabinets or also for drawers?

It should work for drawers if they can fit.

for all those complaining here about the "frustrating packaging" get yourselves a good pair of scissors and out goes all the frustration.
it took me 10 seconds to open this product nicely.

(some say use a can opener but with a good scissors I don't think its necessary )

just my .02

Do you need one lock per cabinet door?  Or, does one lock work for a double door cabinet?

Did you try putting it inside the actual drawer (unlike the picture)? That should work.

I didn't do that myself, because even though that's what I intended them for when I bought them, when my wife saw me trying to install on the drawer, she said she preferred them on my two double door pantries (we have locks on the handles but keep forgetting to lock them).

So I installed them on the doors.

2 locks for double doors.

I needed to readjust the first one once, but overall they were easy to install, and seem easy to use.

I temporarily disabled them to give the sticky tape 24 hours, but it seems like an excellent product.

  on Amazon, well deserved.

Inside the walls of the drawer itself, with the base stuck to the front of the drawer and the latch facing upwards.

In the picture, the latch is facing outwards, toward the side.

So I need to buy a good pair of scissors in order to have a good experience with this product? Any seller/manufacturer will tell you that consumer satisfaction is affected by packaging design and ease of opening.

Sure, it's not impossible, but there's a reason people like "frustration free" packaging.

I wasn't complaining to kvetch, and I'm sure the others aren't either. We are trying to help yuneeq put out the best possible product he can.

I like that the product sits firmly in it's place in the package.  I don't know what packaging would do that except 'frustration-full' type.

Installed two.  Package wasn't a big deal.  Instructions were fine for me.  I like the magnetic key holder.  Cabinet doesn't close well now,  but can't be helped as the latch has to be in the jamb.

Here's my review:
As everyone else has been saying, the package comes with full frustration. I didn't really need/use the instructions, as it's pretty intuitive. The product is easy to install and use. I hope it lasts and doesn't fall off. Time will tell. Hatzlocha!
I left product & seller reviews.

This is true. Once I stopped trying to follow the picture/instructions, it was simple.
