What to prepare

  • Clean, dry cabinet or drawer surfaces
  • The included installation template
  • The magnetic key
  • A few minutes for adhesive placement and checking

This set includes four locks and one key. It works on cabinets and drawers with doors up to 2 inches thick, including kitchen, bathroom, pantry, storage, and bedroom furniture.

How to install the locks

1. Choose the target openings

Start with cabinets or drawers containing items you want children to avoid. Check that the doors close normally and that the inside surfaces are clean and dry. The product instructions specify cleaning the cabinet surface before applying the adhesive.

2. Position the lock and catch

Use the supplied installation template. Place the lock inside the cabinet or drawer, then position its matching catch so both parts meet when the door closes. Keep the components aligned. Test the door position before pressing the adhesive firmly into place.

3. Secure the adhesive

Peel and stick the components according to the installation instructions. Avoid washing the installed area. Keep the lock indoors and allow the adhesive to settle before relying on it.

4. Check operation

Close the door, then use the magnetic key from outside to release the lock. Repeat the check several times on every secured opening. Store the key where children cannot reach it.

Balanced verdict

This is a budget-friendly, concealed option for renters or parents who want installation without drilling. Its adhesive setup keeps the process simple, while the included template helps with alignment. It depends on a clean surface and correct placement, so rushed installation can reduce reliability.

Who it suits

Choose it for kitchens, bathrooms, pantries, and drawers needing discreet access control. It suits households securing several openings with one included key.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you need a drilled, permanently mounted solution or cannot keep surfaces dry and clean. The locks contain small magnets and small parts. Keep them away from children; they are not for children under 3 years. If a magnet is swallowed or inhaled, seek immediate medical attention.
