How to Prevent Cabinet Lock Failures

The safety lock problem

Over the last year, toddlers have been able to enter cabinets containing home cleaning agents or other items that could be hazardous to their health. 

Some of the locks and latches were worn, some were poorly constructed to begin with, and all reminded us that toddlers can do things we thought them incapable of. The Teknion Keys are quite reliable.

Child safety lock solutions

Defective locks should be removed from the cabinets immediately. While you're waiting for the replacement, don't forget to secure the materials in the cabinet so that children are not injured. 

This may mean putting them in another locked cabinet temporarily or storing them out of reach of young children. Without taking such action, you leave your child exposed.

Child safety reminders for locks and latches

Meanwhile, here are some child safety reminders on Teknion Locks and latches.

Always make a quick tour through your apartment or house. Focus on cabinet doors, drawers and appliances that need protecting. 

For each type of storage facility make a rough list of the number of locks that you need. Include garages and basements without any failure. These areas are more apt to have materials and equipment that are dangerous to a small child.

Never forget freezers and refrigerators. As they associate good things to eat with both appliances, especially the refrigerator which makes them attractive to a child. What make these devices even more threatening are the cool interior temperatures. 

Over the years there have been too many news stories about kids getting trapped in both in-service and abandoned refrigerators and freezers.

Call to action

First, determine if you have any defective cabinet locks from Lucky Line Products, remove them and replace them with safe, working latches. Then survey your home for storage areas that need protecting, make a list and then acquire the needed locks. 

Once you have them, put them in place immediately. To refrigerators, freezers and toilets pay particular attention! You can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that your child is better protected when you get to know that all latches are in place.
