Fridge and Cabinet Child Locks

This is the latest addition to our house to lock down everything away from the kids! We're at the point where our children can get into the fridge and empty the contents onto the floor in 5 seconds flat and the old cabinet locks we had in our bathroom that were purchased off Amazon have been busted through as they've grown older and stronger.

 

After 11 different variations and tweakings over time, This all has led me to the latest design to share with the community:

• Reinforced, bigger and stronger than locks you can buy online or in the store
• Grips for holding onto when locking
• Easy to squeeze releases but difficult for tiny hands
• Can be successfully printed and strong enough using PLA+ - from experience :)
• Also, can be printed in other filaments like ABS, PETG, Nylon etc

Notes:

The print profile I uploaded uses thick layers to reduce print time. We don't have issues with them and I've printed ours in both PLA+ and ABS but if you would like me to upload finer detailed profiles please ask!

If you come across any issues don't hesitate to reach out in the comments section. I can generally fix print profiles and geometry issues pretty quickly and get you a new profile.

 

From one parent to another, Good Luck and hope this design can help you out as much as they have us!
