    The problem with that is i wouldnt be able to get it unlocked because the stand is going to be up aginst the wall. I have to put it up aginst the wall so my little guy doesnt get into the sump.

    You could also install some knobs,Ive seen plastic locks that lock the kmobs together from the outside,you can probably find these at any babies R us type of store.

    or if your kid doesnt like veggies, get knobs that look like brussel sprouts.
