Cabinet child safety locks Elsevier - Health Sciences Division SBS-218, set of 6

Set of 6 cabinet child safety locks Elsevier - Health Sciences Division SBS-218 designed to prevent children from opening drawers and cupboards. Each lock secures doors and drawers by restricting access, suitable for use on various furniture materials and surfaces. Easy to install and intended for home childproofing in kitchens, bathrooms and playrooms.

Advantages

The set contains six individual locks that offer multiple points of protection for cabinets and drawers. Each lock operates without permanent alteration to furniture, using an adhesion or catch mechanism that is simple to fit and remove. The design is compact and low-profile to keep locks out of sight while maintaining effective restriction of access. Materials are selected to withstand normal household use and provide reliable holding strength for typical cabinet doors and sliding drawers.

Suitable for

• Kitchen cabinets and drawers
• Bathroom cabinets and under-sink cupboards
• Children's room wardrobes and toy chests
• Living room sideboards and storage units
• Any indoor furniture surfaces where access restriction is needed

Key specifications

• Quantity: set of 6 locks
• Mounting method: adhesive and/or catch-style attachment for non-invasive installation
• Compatibility: designed for most common furniture materials and surface finishes
• Profile: compact, low-visible design to minimise visual impact
• Intended use: indoor child safety for cabinets and drawers

How to use

Clean and dry the surface where each lock will be mounted to ensure good adhesion. Position the lock so that the latch engages firmly with the counterpart on the door or drawer, following alignment marks or guides if present. Firmly press adhesive surfaces and allow recommended curing time before normal use. To open a secured unit, operate the release mechanism according to the lock's design — typically by pressing or sliding the latch while pulling the door or drawer. Remove the lock by gradually releasing the adhesive with heat or a suitable solvent if needed, taking care not to damage the furniture finish.

Usage recommendations

Place locks at child-accessible points and test each installation to confirm secure engagement. Avoid mounting on uneven, dirty or freshly painted surfaces. For best results, check adhesive bonds periodically and replace locks if they show wear or reduced holding strength.
