The home is a place of safety, but with young children and vulnerable adults it can also be quite a dangerous place. When looking at your home safety measures and ways of childproofing your home and restricting access to cupboards, you want something simple so that the appropriate people can still gain access whilst keeping the young and vulnerable at bay, and without having to look for key or a magnet. The cupboard under my kitchen sink is where I keep all my cleaning products (gloves, scrubbers and cleaning chemicals etc.) and to stop access to the cupboard I have the Safety 1st Handle Flex Cupboard Lock which stops the cupboard doors being opened and I think that it is excellent, a simple device that ties the handles together but can still be opened easily by an adult.
When I think of the Safety 1st Handle Flex Cupboard Lock, I think of it as a big cable tie for the cupboard door handles. Obviously, it isn’t a cable tie, although the adjustable straps look like it, but it is just as effective and you can open and close it as many times as you like.
Installing the Safety 1st Handle Flex Cupboard Lock is straightforward and does not require the use of tools, a plus for busy parents and carers. The lock’s adjustable straps provide a snug fit on different sizes of handles and door knobs, ensuring that it stays securely in place once installed.
Whilst it is an effective lock to stop the cupboard doors from being opened, another key feature is its ease of use. When you need access to the cupboard, adults can effortlessly open the lock by pressing the double lock buttons. When it is closed (the two pieces just click together), the lock displays a green symbol so that you are aware that it has been closed fully and correctly.
It is constructed from high-quality and durable plastic, withstanding the constant opening and closing of daily use.
In terms of aesthetics, the Safety 1st Handle Flex Cupboard Lock has a discreet design that blends well with home décor. It doesn’t draw attention to itself, maintaining the visual appeal of your furniture while performing its critical safety function.
Overall, the Safety 1st Handle Flex Cupboard Lock is a very reliable and user-friendly home safety and childproofing product. It does a fantastic job of simply but securely keeping cupboard doors closed and stopping inquisitive little fingers exploring cupboards that you don’t want them getting into.
Its flexible application, ease of installation and use, durability, and unobtrusive design make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to childproof their home effectively whilst still having easy access when you require it.
A quick and simple way to lock your cupboards and drawers without the need to use magnets or keys. Installs in seconds and is easy to lock and open for adults. An excellent little home safety device that is perfect for childproofing cupboards and drawers. And at less than £4, it is a bargain.
