Kitchen Gate Lock
About this project
This DIY lock for the kitchen gate was designed by Matt, instead of a latch, this lock uses a series of patterns to unlock - making the kitchen safe once again. (This product is still in development)
The challenge
Child gates are made for small children. Stacy keeps dangerous objects in her kitchen, but as her children grow, her child gate no longer keeps them out of danger.
Who it helps
Stacy is a mother of three children, all born with Angelman Syndrome, they are all nonverbal and use communication devices to communicate, they are treated for seizures, and have a heightened sensitivity to different materials.
