Cupboard Locks, Fridge Locks & Furniture Anchors

Once a baby can crawl, every low cupboard and drawer is worth exploring. This collection covers locks for cupboards, drawers, fridges, freezers, ovens and doors, plus anti-tip anchors that hold drawers, wardrobes and bookcases to the wall. Brands include vmaisi, Inaya and Wappa Baby.

Which lock suits which door

• Magnetic locks fit inside the cupboard, so they are invisible from outside. They open with a magnetic key, which is handy for cupboards you use every day.
• Adhesive strap locks stick to the outside and suit fridges, freezers, ovens, dishwashers and cupboards with side-by-side doors.
• Fridge locks are made for single-door or American-style fridge freezers. Check the listing names your door type.
• Door lever and door-top locks keep a room closed off, or stop a door slamming on small fingers.
• Furniture anchors fix chests of drawers, wardrobes and TVs to the wall so they cannot tip if climbed on.

Before you fit them

Lock the cupboards that hold cleaning products, medicines, sharp tools and glass first. For furniture anchors, use fixings that suit your wall: plasterboard needs different fixings from brick. The Child Accident Prevention Trust has more advice on keeping these items out of reach.
