3d Printed Drawer Latches

I have two small kids. I wanted to baby proof my kitchen drawers but didn’t want a bunch of adhesive garbage on them. I love designing flexures. So I made this drawer latch.

My drawers have 3/4 inch thick faceplates and the cabinet faces are also 3/4 inch. These work OK on doors but are a lot harder to open. With enough frantic pulling, the flexure legs will break in tension, but if you’re making these you can probably 3d print more.
