🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting a toilet lock yourself? Here's what to know:
🔧 What you'll need
- Toilet lock (match to your toilet type)
- Clean, dry surface
- Maybe adhesive promoter
📐 Fitting tips
- Clean toilet lid and tank thoroughly
- Let adhesive surfaces dry completely
- Position lock before sticking
- Press firmly for adhesive bond
- Wait recommended time before testing
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Wrong lock type for toilet shape
- Fitting to dirty surface (won't stick)
- Testing too soon (adhesive fails)
- Positioning wrong (awkward to release)
💡 Pro trick: If the adhesive won't stick well, clean with rubbing alcohol and let dry completely. Toilet surfaces can be surprisingly greasy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do toilets need locks?
Drowning risk - toddlers are top-heavy and can fall in head-first. Also stops them throwing things in, playing with water, and unrolling entire toilet rolls into the bowl.
Can adults still use the toilet easily?
Yes - toilet locks have adult-release mechanisms that are easy for grown-ups but toddlers can't figure out. You won't notice it's there after a day.
What type of toilet lock is best?
Depends on your toilet lid shape. Strap locks work on most. Arm locks work on specific shapes. We'll advise on what suits your bathroom.
Do they damage the toilet?
Adhesive-mounted ones leave no marks. Some clip-on types may mark if removed roughly. We fit them carefully to minimise any trace.
