Childproofing cabinets does not have to mean adding visible latches or bulky hardware to your cabinet fronts. The Rev-A-Shelf Child Cabinet Security Locking System<\/a><\/strong> installs inside cabinet doors and drawers, where it stays out of sight until you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special magnetic key placed against the outside of the cabinet releases the internal catch. Remove the key, and the catch springs back into the locked position. The starter kit includes five locks and two magnetic keys<\/a><\/strong>, making it a practical option for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other cabinets you want to help keep off limits to young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the Rev-A-Shelf Rev-A-Lock?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rev-A-Lock<\/a> is a concealed cabinet locking system that uses magnetic force to release the lock through the cabinet door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once installed, the locking hardware sits on the inside of the cabinet. You do not have to mount a latch, button, or release lever on the finished exterior. To gain access, place the magnetic key against the outside of the door at the lock location. The magnet releases the catch so the cabinet can open. When you remove the key, the catch returns to its locking position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That hidden design is one of the system’s main advantages for kitchens and other finished spaces. You can add a cabinet-security measure without changing the look of your knobs, pulls, doors, or drawer fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
