I realize my post is a little late...we use the locking ones where you have to push 2 buttons at once to open. We really only use them for the dangerous areas or when I just get tired of picking up all the game pieces for the last time lol. I also use hair elastics looped between 2 knobs if I am less concerned about the safety aspect, but we do keep a lot of things accessible for him to explore. Wish I could post a video because just the other day he came out with dh's electric razor turned on and was pretending to shave his face (his face only got ever so slightly red). And then another day I found a shriveled up radish in my purse lol. He is not quite as good as his sister was, but overall good...he just likes to explore a lot
