Professional fridge lock fitting - stop unsupervised fridge raids and prevent food spoilage from doors left open. A simple childproofing measure with daily benefits.

The Fridge Is Fascinating

Children are drawn to fridges. Open doors spoil food. Unsupervised snacking causes problems. A fridge lock puts you back in control without constant kitchen supervision.

💡 Pro tip: It's not just about snacking - children often leave fridge doors ajar, spoiling food gradually without anyone noticing until it smells.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why lock the fridge?

Children leave fridge doors open (spoiling food), help themselves to anything, and can access items they shouldn't. A lock gives you control without constant supervision.

Will it work on my fridge?

Most standard fridges and fridge-freezers yes. American-style double doors need different locks. We'll check and fit appropriately.

Is it annoying for adults?

Once you're used to it, you won't notice. The minor inconvenience is worth not throwing away spoiled food or finding empty chocolate wrappers.

What about freezer drawers?

Different lock types needed - we can fit locks to freezer drawers too. Same visit, same efficiency.
