Safer days.

Cabinet and drawer locks should be selected after identifying what needs restricted access and whether the exact surface, handle and opening mechanism are compatible.

Quick answer

Move hazardous contents first. Then choose a lock only for cabinets or drawers that remain a genuine access issue in your daily routine.

What to check before buying

  • Identify the cabinet, drawer or appliance and how it opens.
  • Read fitting instructions before purchase.
  • Check whether adults can operate it consistently.
  • Do not force a lock onto an unsuitable surface or mechanism.
