FAQS

Why is my adhesive latch coming unattached from cabinet and drawer surface?
Before installing the latch ensure that the cabinet or drawer surface is clean. We
recommend wiping the surface with alcohol. Once latch is installed you must
wait 24 hours for adhesive to cure to cabinet/drawer surface before using latch.
How do I open cabinet/drawer once latch is attached?
The cabinet drawer/door will remain in a locked position until the latch is released. Press down firmly on latch with finger to open.
How do I switch lock to be in "un-locked"position?
Push down and rotate latch arm to face down until the red unlocked symbol showing. The red unlocked symbol now indicates the latch is un-locked.
What age range are adhesive locks appropriate for when it comes to securing cabinets/drawers?
These locks can be used as early as 6 months up to 24 months or once child is able to defeat the latch.
How do I remove these from drawers/cabinets?
Carefully use fish line or dental floss in a sawing motion to cut adhesive away from lock. Remaining adhesive residue can be rolled off the door.
Why is there a gap between my cabinet/drawer?
Ensure the front edge of the catch (image B1 in instructions) is lined up with the edge of cabinet or drawer when installing. Also, if cabinets or drawers sit completely flush when closed, once latch is installed it might create slight gap.
Which type of cabinets/drawers do these latches work best on?
These work on framed and unframed cabinets and drawers. However, the latch needs to be able to fit in the space between the drawer and frame. See Figure A in instructions for illustration.
