Dreambaby Multi-Purpose Latch

The Dreambaby Multi-Purpose Latch is an adhesive-backed cabinet and cupboard latch designed to add a layer of protection between curious little hands and the things you'd rather keep out of reach. It installs without any tools — the super-strength adhesive backing means you simply stick it in place — so you can add childproofing to cupboards and cabinets in almost any room without drilling into your furniture.

Because it uses adhesive rather than screws, this latch suits a wide range of surfaces, including glass, timber, metal and laminates. That versatility is where the "multi-purpose" name comes in: the same latch works in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, garage and living areas, so you can approach different rooms with one familiar mechanism. The clear design keeps it discreet against your existing decor, so it stays practical without standing out.

How to use

Installation is tool-free. Clean and dry the surface first, then apply the latch using the adhesive backing. To open a latched cabinet, gently pull the strap off the disc; to re-secure it, simply replace the strap onto the disc to return it to the locked position. Because it relies on the adult remembering to re-engage it after each use, an easy one-motion action helps keep the routine consistent.

Where it works

The adhesive is designed to adhere firmly to surfaces such as glass and mirrors, laminated furniture, cabinets, varnished wood, timber veneer and metal — which makes it a flexible option if your cupboards aren't all the same material. As with any adhesive-mounted safety product, a clean, compatible and suitable surface is important for the hold, so it's worth checking each spot before you rely on it.

Best For

The Dreambaby Multi-Purpose Latch is a great option for parents who:

• Want a tool-free, no-drill way to add childproofing to cupboards and cabinets
• Need something that works across mixed surfaces like glass, timber, metal and laminate
• Prefer a discreet, clear latch that blends into their decor
• Are adding safety to several rooms and want one consistent mechanism

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Need a hardware-mounted latch for a high-consequence location or a surface adhesive won't hold
• Are looking to fit out many cabinets at once, as this comes as a single latch

Please note: No safety device makes a home childproof. This latch is designed to help keep children safer from harm by delaying access, but it works only when correctly installed on a suitable surface and re-engaged after every use. Adult supervision and keeping hazards securely out of reach remain the primary safeguards.
