FAQs
Can I reuse the adhesive pads?
The DuploCOLL® adhesive pads are designed for single use. For reapplication, new adhesive pads or the screw mounting option would be necessary.
What are the dimensions of the lock?
The BabyDan Multi-lock measures approximately 21.5 x 5.8 x 1 cm (8.46 x 2.28 x 0.39 inches).
Does the lock contain harmful chemicals?
No, the lock is made from materials free from phthalates, BPA, and PVC.
Is screw hardware included with the lock?
The product description mentions the option to use screws, but hardware for screw mounting is typically not included and must be supplied separately.
What is the safety standard mentioned?
The BabyDan Multi-lock meets EN 16948:2017 safety standards for home safety devices.
How do I dispose of the packaging?
The packaging is 100% biodegradable and Cradle to Cradle certified, meaning it is designed to decompose naturally.
Can this lock be used on textured surfaces?
The adhesive mounting works best on smooth surfaces. For textured surfaces, using the screw mounting option is recommended for a secure installation.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not sticking firmly
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Re-clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and reapply pressure, allowing the full 24-hour cure time.
Lock is too loose
Adjust the length of the flexible strap for a tighter fit. If the strap is at its shortest and still loose, consider repositioning or using the screw mounting option for a more secure closure.
Difficulty opening the lock as an adult
Ensure you are following the correct disengagement procedure. Some users find it helpful to practice opening and closing the lock several times initially.
Strap doesn't reach around the item
The Multi-lock is designed for most standard applications. For very wide items, you may need to explore alternative childproofing solutions or see if repositioning the lock allows for a shorter strap path.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the surface where the lock will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or soap residue. For adhesive mounting, wiping with rubbing alcohol is recommended.
- Determine Placement: Decide on the optimal location for the lock to prevent access to the desired area.
- Mounting Option 1 (Adhesive): Peel off the protective backing from the DuploCOLL® adhesive pads. Press the lock firmly onto the prepared surface and hold for at least 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to cure before engaging the lock.
- Mounting Option 2 (Screws): If using screws (not included), mark the desired positions, pre-drill pilot holes if necessary, and securely fasten the lock components to the surface.
- Adjust Strap: Use the flexible strap to loop around the desired item and adjust its length for a snug fit. Engage the lock mechanism.
Compatibility:
- Surfaces: Wood, metal, glass, foil-covered chipboards, and other smooth, non-porous surfaces.
- Items: Drawers, cupboards, refrigerators, toilets, bins, appliances, and more.
Care:
- Clean the lock with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check the security of the mounting, especially if using adhesive. Reapply or use screws if the hold weakens.
