The Dreambaby Long Adhesive Safety Latches are adhesive-mounted cabinet and drawer locks designed to give adults quick access while making it difficult for a child to open cupboards and drawers that may hold harmful objects. Because they mount with adhesive rather than screws, there are no tools or drilling involved, which makes them a practical option when you'd rather not put holes in cabinetry.
These are the longer latch design, which loops through or around cabinet and drawer handles and locks with a simple squeeze-and-release. They're strong and durable, and the sleek, subtle look means they sit fairly discreetly once fitted.
How it works
- Adhesive mount: The latch fixes in place with adhesive, so no tools or screws are needed to install it.
- Slide-and-lock design: The longer slide is routed through or around the handles, then locked over the ends, keeping the doors or drawers held closed.
- Adult-friendly access: A squeeze-and-release action lets you open the latch quickly, while the mechanism is designed to be harder for a young child to work out.
How to use
- Open the slide to make a gap.
- Place the slide through or around the handles.
- Secure the lock over the ends of the slide.
- Squeeze the lock to position it, then release.
Best for
The Dreambaby Long Adhesive Safety Latches are a good fit for parents who:
- Want to add a layer of protection to cabinets and drawers that hold cleaning products, medicines or other hazards
- Prefer an adhesive, no-drill install over hardware mounting
- Like a subtle latch that stays fairly hidden from view
They rely on being fitted to handles, so they may suit you less well on cabinets or drawers that don't have a handle for the slide to loop through or around.
Good to know
Adhesive fixings hold best on clean, smooth, compatible surfaces, so it's worth wiping the area down and letting it set before you rely on the latch. As with any home-safety product, a latch is child-resistant rather than childproof — it's designed to slow a child down, not replace supervision or the secure storage of anything genuinely dangerous.
