I rarely shut them. I hang them up and the kids are not allowed to play anywhere near them. I know they are always open and I handle them accordingly. I can't stand the ones that close automatically. It sets off my claustrophobia at having something move without my doing it. I have child locks in my van that drive me insane!! They lock as soon as you close the door and I feel like I can't breathe when they do that! A Phobia I know but for some unknown reason it has extended to having anything done automatically. I don't have control and that drives me nuts! So I leave them open. I don't suppose I have nicked myself but a couple of times and that was earlier on when I first started using a cutter.
