My little girl (11 months old) likes to try and turn any switch she can find off and grab chemicals etc. Basically tries to touch the things I don’t want her to lol I made a plan to extend my tank stand so it went against the wall but with easy access (for myself) so I can get to the important switches (overflow etc). I cut, sanded and painted the wood and screwed in hinges. This is the finished look,
before and after :)

Nice work and very responsible parent!
 
This is AWESOME. My daughter is finally old enough that she isn’t messing with all the dials! She will actually close the stand doors up for me now. ;) “Carefully”. Be prepared for locks in the near future!

Haha yep I had to add those magnetic child safety locks a month or so ago
