Frequently Asked Questions about Washing machine lock fitting in Newton Abbot
Why lock the washing machine?
Children climb into front-loaders, press buttons starting cycles, and access laundry chemicals. A locked door prevents all three problems.
Is climbing in really a danger?
Yes - children have died trapped in washing machines. The drum is a tempting hiding spot for small children. Tragic but preventable.
What about top-loaders?
Different lock types needed but same principle. Top-loaders have entrapment and drowning risks. We fit appropriate locks for your machine.
Don't machines have child locks?
Many have control locks for buttons, but the door still opens. External locks prevent door opening entirely.
