Frequently Asked Questions
Which cupboards need locks?
Any containing cleaning products, medicines, alcohol, sharp objects, or breakables. Kitchen under-sink is the priority - that's where the dangerous chemicals live.
What types of locks work best?
Magnetic locks are neatest - completely invisible. Latch locks are cheaper but visible inside. Strap locks work for awkward cupboards. We'll recommend based on your setup.
Do I need to buy the locks?
You can, or we can supply. Count your cupboards first - doing all dangerous ones together is most efficient.
Will they damage my cupboards?
Screw-fit types need small holes (hidden when open). Adhesive types leave no permanent damage. Your choice based on how permanent you want them.
