Abstract
A child proof safety latch for a cabinet door or drawer. The safety latch includes a U-shaped mounting bracket that can be slipped over the edge of the door or drawer without screws or other fasteners. A hook assembly engages the mounting bracket with ratchet teeth so the hook member can be moved into locking position after the safety latch is in place on the closure. The hook member is carried on a base plate, and the base plate may have a knob to keep the hook assembly aligned for easy motion.
