Gas stove knob locks

Belle60

Looking for recommendations for gas stove knob locks. I have a GE Cafe gas stove with the knobs on the front. My DH has attempted to cook for years but I want to be safe.

There are alot on Amazon but mostly geared toward children.

Any recommendations?

This one seems to be the most highly recommended according to Alzheimer's Association. Even though originally intended for child proofing.

Wirecutter recommends the same.

That said, I had a version of these when my son was little and would expect that an agitated adult man would pull them off knob and all.

Another option is to pull the knobs off when you're not using the stove.

Thats my concern that he will be able to figure out the baby proof ones. I will have to figure out how to remove them.

Are the knobs removeable? I kept ours off and in a drawer unless I was using the stove.

I have a similar stove top and if I remember correctly (not at home right now) there is a small safety knob that you turns off the burner knobs. If so, you can remove that knob so not all knobs need to be removed and replaced when you need to use the stove.

you might try the child locks. Depending on what Stage your DH is in, many PWD's don't have the capacity to figure them out. Executive function is usually one of the first things to go with memory loss. (not always though). You're wise to get ahead of this. Please keep us posted.
