Any suggestions on adult grade childproof drawer locks?

Everything I have seen is for children, but the problem is my ADLO is strong enough to overcome most of the commonly available options.

Has anyone seen an option that would be suitable for adult use?

    I use "Munchkin Xtraguard Dual Action Multi-Use Latches" from Amazon. My LO has not figured out how they open and strong yanking hasn't broken them. When choosing where to affix them on cabinet doors and drawers, I choose high-up spots if I can, or areas with poor visibility for him.

    I will say to anyone else that reads this, to try the ones you are recommending because they have a fixed strap length. 

    I have actually tried something similar that had an adjustable length strap (used them on the fridge) and they ripped the strap right out of the catch mechanism.

    My son has some baby-proof locks that require a magnetic "key" to open. The ones I saw on Amazon can be either adhesive- or screw-mount. I haven't seen the business end of them, but if all parts are metal, this might work for you. The keyword seems to be "magnetic child-proof locks". Good luck!
