Securing Kitchen Cabinets for Earthquakes

We use brass cabin hooks to prevent the doors on our kitchen cabinets from swinging open during earthquakes. They are relatively easy to use, and to our aesthetic tastes, they look good. After an earthquake, be very careful opening cabinets. Objects inside will likely have moved around, and can fall out when the doors are opened. The first photo shows adjacent doors hooked together. In the second case, it is a shorter hook for a single cabinet door.
