    They do now make safety latches to child proof them now. I saw them on ebay 2 days ago. I cannot remember the name etc but I did see them.

    put a hook and eye closure or a slide lock (the kind they have on public restrooms) near the top of the door. They cost about a dollar at a hardware store and can be installed with only a couple of screws so they won't damage the door.
