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 :)

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!
