What age can a child figure out how to open a safety lock? Those that look like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cupboard-Children-Stickers-Cupboards-Cabinets/dp/B0DDV199NV/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.J9Pvah1Qa5Hww_hsEncF59FgjKnwUbXrUp4_jYKFZdTelp2WUug-wwJuN1qlykxflfN_ScbHdfOpVKZ3bC-UYbKckvBq_D8xaN5tApsGygsM9ycx9lyXZk4rkrmPm-olDvqwjrWlACcGPqrn6fORRJMMTXemeFUXp7DOJC_pOt6gXA3q9GkHcOQbkC1M-Mkf482Zjkr7wHG8XwsCNP6F9i4bSbDBAORwECbPPVZX5oeOhAFU3OlfxMXkidZH_WnFCWrYwagS0LTxzQyGM_ZIgfJ_4lj0xA8JIb6F85w44oY.l_4N1XHqrz85sNm2M30QQPWyYFKVmGF2cgV-MxQe5g0&dib_tag=se&keywords=child+safety+lock&qid=1730506550&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

I have a 2 1/2 year old who loves opening cupboards. Is he too old for this? If so, what's a better alternative?

Thank you so much

Put the dangerous stuff in a different place

the dangerous things are up high, but he will make a mess of whatever is left in the bottom ones

We have some similar to that which my 2 year old is quite curious about and I wonder if he'll be able to work it out soon.
However, a couple of our cupboards use the Lindam locks and my 5 year old still cant undo them.
