Varieties of locks for furniture from children

• features of use;
• functionality.

In order to understand how you can close the closet from small children, you need to familiarize yourself with the options for locks and locks. The following models are distinguished:

• Locks-locks, with a fastening mechanism for the outer sides of the handles - such a mechanism reliably connects the two doors of the cabinet and helps to protect all contents in it from damage and falling into the hands of those for whom it is not intended. The tightness of the blocking element will prevent children's fingers from getting between the two doors, thus avoiding possible injuries. The mechanism consists of two components: a plastic lace with notches and a special attachment. The handles are wrapped with laces, after which the attachment is used, which fixes the position of the lace. If an adult needs to take something, then it will easily open the lock, but a child cannot do such an action.
• Universal blockers - the essence of the work lies in the fact that the mechanism reliably connects the furniture door to its body. The strap is made of silicone, which is attached with one side to the door, and the other to the base. This model is quite functional, because it can be used even on those pieces of furniture where there are no handles.
• Blocking shock absorbers - for the manufacture of such a device, materials with high elasticity and strength are used. It can be: silicone, foam rubber, rubber and others. The mechanism of this design differs from the previous ones in that it does not block the door, but simply does not allow it to fully close. Thus, a small child will not nail his fingers, even with a strong clap, because the obstacle will leave a gap of a certain thickness. Fastening of such a structure occurs at the top of the product.
• Sliding door blockers - this model is perfect for sliding wardrobes.Most often, plastic is used for the manufacture of such a mechanism; the model itself completely repeats the design of the door. This strap is put on the door, and a special buckle allows it to be fixed in the desired position. This type of blocker does not lend itself to children's hands, but for adults, if necessary, it is not an obstacle.
• Internal blockers - they differ from previous models in that they are attached not from the outside, but from the inside. The mechanism is fastened with screws, and the product itself prevents the drawers from opening. Since the attachment takes place from the inside, it is not noticeable, does not cause additional interest in the child. Another big plus is that it does not affect the state of the furniture in any way.
