Hi Christopher, you can get yourself some drywall mud to fill those dips in, or you can lightly sand them to smooth the edges, then get a paint that matches the cabinet color and touch it up. Or just prep and paint them all a nice color you love, hope this hometalk link helps you out,

Some spackle should fill them in and then you can touch them up with paint.
Since they aren't peeling and the loss is only from the child locks you can fill the damage with no shrink drywall patching compound. Sand it smooth with the cabinet surface. If you have a piece of the laminate you can get it color matched at the homecenter paint department or paint store.
You may even be able to use wood filler and sand when dry, then paint it again.
Should be able to use wood filler to bring those affected areas up to level with the rest of the cabinet. Then make sure you sand it smooth and repeat this process. Prime and then paint to match or even change the color. Remember to wipe down the cabinet after sanding and before applying primer.
It best to make uxe of a wood filler. After so, sand them, and finish them by painting.
To fill in you want something that does not shrink, the drywall parching compound will work well for this purpose, aka spackle. Fill in the holes, sand when dry, wipe away the sanded area, prime and paint.
I would try some spackle, then sand it so it blends well and then you can repaint them.

I am doing that right now on cabinets and casings. Spackle is good for small spots. I have found Elmer's wood filler to be the best solution. I fill, let dry then sand. I had the wood filler in the house, but Bondo would work too.
I would fix it I would wit some putty or compound to raise up to finish then paint a Matt white the trick is to get the missing parts level with the untouched part to look good
Use a multi purpose filler to fill the spaces using a scraper. Leave to set then fine sand down until level and then paint to match.

You can use a spackle or wood filler to fill the holes and then repaint the drawers.
unfortunately not much can be done with laminate so it will blend with the rest . The only thing you can do is to speckle that area and paint entire fronts of all cabinets same color
