Hello, knot tyers!
I've joined your group to ask a question I haven't been able to answer with my own ingenuity, Google or my knot reference book, The Art of Shen Ku. I have tied a few knots in the past but am a novice. I wonder if I have looked right at the knot I should use but don't know what I'm seeing. Or, is this simply a problem that should be solved other than with a knot?
I want to tie my bathroom cabinet closed, as a way of child-proofing. The cabinet doors swing out, opening at the center. Near the center, each door has a metal handle, in the shape of a staple, that should be easy to tie to. Is there a knot -or some kind of parachute cord way- that will tie the two cabinet handles together so the doors stay closed tightly? Would this be too complicated in practice to open and close? Or is there a knot method, like if i put the rope through a hole drilled in a small block, that would make this knot easy to tie and release for an adult but hard for kids?
Your guidance is appreciated.
