Child safety lock for cabinets and drawers

I have developed an improved version that makes it harder for clever children to disengage the lock (with two push buttons)

Description of the cabinet and drawer safety lock

This child safety lock consists entirely of 3D printed parts. Only a drop of super glue is needed for assembly

How it works
To secure, simply push the round part onto the bolt. The lock engages and reliably secures the door or drawer until it is removed again.
To open, simply press the button on the side. The lock can then be easily removed

Print Plates

• Plate 1: Base elements
• Plate 2: Bolts in various lengths (named after door/drawer thickness in mm). Simply measure the thickness and print the appropriate bolt
• Plate 3: Three different supports to attach the bolt in any position. Only one is needed (depending on installation position)

Assembly

1. Place the slider into the housing
2. Insert the spring
3. Apply a few drops of adhesive to the surfaces where the lid will rest later
4. Mount the lid (pay attention to the correct orientation!)

                        (see pictures)

The bolt on the cabinet can either be secured with two 3mm wood screws or simply attached with double-sided tape (in my experience, it holds great and can be removed without residue once the children are old enough)

Material Recommendation

• Various filaments can be used for all parts
• For the spring, PETG is recommended as it is more flexible and durable

Note
If the lock does not engage correctly, a bolt that is too short was likely chosen
