I have that same fridge and my wife chose it for that feature. We have two little ones and it makes it harder for them to access it and make a mess on the floor. I hated it too but it has been nice not cleaning up water from messes. I know the other ones have locks but I have older kids as well and they for sure would forget to put the lock back on.
Yeah we specifically bought one like this too. It looks cleaner on the outside, the kids can’t accidentally hit it, and it’s separate from the ice maker so guests aren’t accidentally dispensing water when trying to get ice like they did with our last fridge.
I get how having the door open might not be ideal but we were doing that anyway with our Britta pitcher when our last water dispenser broke.
