What You'll Need Before Starting 🧰

Required equipment:

Cabinet safety lock (adhesive or screw-mount — your choice)
Adjustable handle lock — fits any cabinet without tools
Safety corner guards — prevents injury from sharp corners
70% alcohol — to clean surfaces before adhesive locks
Small Phillips screwdriver — only for screw-mount models
Pencil — to mark drill points

For most FIX locks — no tools needed — simply stick on directly.

⚠️

⚠️ Important Before You Start

Adhesive locks require 24–48 hours to fully set before regular use. Apply only on completely dry surfaces — moisture and grease significantly reduce adhesive strength and will cause early failure.

Step by Step — How to Install Correctly 👷

Step 1 — Identify danger spots: Walk through your home at child's-eye level. Mark: medicine cabinet, cleaning supplies under the sink, tool cabinet, knife drawers, electrical panel. These are the first to secure.

Step 2 — Clean surfaces: Clean cabinet body and door with 70% alcohol. Dry completely for at least 5 minutes. Important: oil, dust, or moisture will significantly weaken the adhesive.

Step 3 — Adhesive lock: Remove protective backing from adhesive. Stick one half to the cabinet body, the other half to the door — directly opposite. Press firmly for 60 seconds on each half. Wait 48 hours before use.

Step 4 — Screw-mount lock: Mark points with pencil, drill a small 3 mm hole, and screw in with micro screws. This version is more durable and suited for heavy cabinets and older children.

Step 5 — Adjustable handle lock: Simply slide the loop over both cabinet handles and tighten — no tools, no drilling. Fits any cabinet with two handles.

Step 6 — Corner guard: Remove backing sticker, press onto sharp corner for 30 seconds. Protects children from table, shelf, or cabinet corner injuries.

Step 7 — Test and maintain: Try to open like a child would — confirm the lock holds. Check every 3 months — adhesives age in Israel's heat. Tighten or replace as needed.

💡

💡 Pro Tip

Sit on the floor and check which cabinets reach your child's eye level — most parents secure at 1-metre height and miss low floor-level cabinets. A one-year-old can open a regular cabinet within 30 seconds — don't wait!

Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Are adhesive safety locks suitable for all cabinet types?

Suitable for most wood, melamine, and metal cabinets. Not recommended on very smooth laminate — use screw-mount models instead. Make sure to apply on a completely clean and dry surface.

What's the difference between a regular lock and an adjustable handle lock?

The adjustable handle lock slides over both handles with no installation — fastest and fits any cabinet. Adhesive/screw locks are more secure and better for older, stronger children.

From what age are safety locks important?

From 6–8 months, when babies start crawling and pulling themselves up. It's recommended to install before your baby reaches that stage — don't wait until after.

Can adhesive locks be removed without damaging the cabinet?

Yes — use dental floss to gently lift the adhesive, then clean any residue with 70% alcohol. In most cases, no marks are left behind.
