Can kids easily open the coin door.

if you mean the metal part...then no. The get the coins out, there is a plastic cap on the bottom of the unit that easily twists off, much like a piggy bank.

I used a coin to pry it open. Was difficult at first, but after I opened it once it was alright.

Yeah but it's for kids, it's like a 2 digit combination. When I first got it, I accidentally closed it without the combination. I just turned it left and it opens without the combo. If you pull on it hard enough it's pretty flimsy. Remember though it's for kids. I had only purchased this a a nastalgic change bank.

I think that most 5 yr. olds could open them. They are easier than my containers made by a well known brand.

This is better designed to keep people OUT rather than IN, but a toddler would have some trouble manipulating the lock. I'd say it would be about as effective as a child-proof cap on medicine. It'll keep them out until they figure it out. Try a cheap slide bolt at the top of the door.

Yes, easily. The cover is magnetic to help it stay closed, but not so strong that a thumb flick won't open it easily.

Yes, very easily. When its engaged in door slightly open position, there is about 1-4 inches of play, so kids can't open and can't crush fingers. An adult can reach up, tap the device so that it swings on hinge and disengages. Then when the adult swings the door in what would be a closing motion, the unit re-engages. You can disengage easily with one hand, allowing you to carry something in the other.

Yes, as long as they have a smartphone and are hooked up to the system, they are able to open the door. However, we have been having issues with ours. It may be our wifi signal isn't strong enough, but every time our wifi resets, we have to also reset our phones, as well as the gogo gate. It's a pain in the butt. I don't even use it.

Our 2-1/2 year old can "usually" get the gates open, so probably a three year old can without much trouble.

We have small grandchildren and they have figured out how to slide the doors open. It hasn't been a big problem for us, but a person could drill some holes in the tracks and insert pegs in the holes to keep little hands from sliding the doors open. We really like the entertainment center and it has held up well thus far.

The light has a red cover which snaps off to allow batteries to be changed. You can put a coin edge or key into a slot and it opens fairly easily.

Sherry, If you are able, I would keep it out of reach of small children. To get into it, you would usually use the " key" that simply turns something that looks like a flat head screw on the bottom of the unit . One twist opens the lock and then you turn the unit right side up, press in on the latch and open it. Sometimes it doesn't easily open so I try again, but usually it will open relatively easily. The difficulty could be compared to a prescription bottle with a safety cap- and we know some kids can figure out how to open those

The rings are sturdy enough on the inside that they work like the plastic ones. It's easy for some children and more difficult for others. Kids develop skills at different times. My grandson had no trouble from about the age of one.

With some supervision, yes. If you use it as a bank to teach about saving money (and making it fun to do so), yes, I think it would be great. However, the doors are kind of fragile, and left alone with a 4 year old, probably would break pretty quickly. They might hurt themselves with the doors (ex: poke themselves in the eye with the corners) but there are no easily removed parts small enough to choke on.

No, and this is not childproof or anything... the metal plate on the door sticks to the magnet on the cabinet, and you just pull the cabinet door hard enough to open it. One finger is probably all that is required.

it is quite simple if you have ever replaced a doorknob. The only thin is that you will want to install this upside down so that the toddler can not override the mechanism by hanging on the lever from the inside of their room.

Not at all. They are just for looks. It opens with just the front clasp, easy!
