FAQs

How many latches are included in a pack?

This specific product listing is for a 1-pack of Dreambaby Mini Multi-Purpose Latches. Other pack sizes may be available.

Can these latches be used on fabric or textured surfaces?

These latches are designed for smooth, non-porous surfaces. They may not adhere effectively to fabric, rough wood, or heavily textured surfaces.

How do I remove the latches without damaging the furniture?

To remove, gently pry the adhesive discs off the surface. Using a hairdryer on a low heat setting to warm the adhesive can help loosen it, making removal easier and minimizing residue or damage. Clean any remaining adhesive with a mild solvent.

Are these latches reusable after removal?

Once removed, the adhesive on the discs is typically compromised and they are not designed for reapplication with their original adhesive.

What is the recommended age for using these latches?

These latches are recommended for use once children become mobile and start exploring, typically around 6 months old, and should be used until the child no longer requires supervision around potentially hazardous cabinets or appliances.

Can the latches be used outdoors?

These latches are designed for indoor use. Exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, and UV rays outdoors can affect the adhesive and material integrity.

Troubleshooting

Latch not sticking securely.

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Press firmly and allow the adhesive to cure for the recommended 24 hours. Reapply if necessary, ensuring a clean surface.

Latch is difficult for adults to open.

Ensure the strap is correctly aligned with the disc. Gently pull the strap straight off the disc. If it remains stuck, check for any obstructions or excess adhesive residue.

Child has figured out how to open the latch.

While designed to be child-resistant, persistent children may learn the mechanism. Consider repositioning the latch or using latches with a different locking style if this becomes an issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface of the appliance or furniture you intend to secure is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
  2. Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive discs.
  3. Firmly press each disc onto the desired location, holding for at least 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
  4. Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before engaging the latch for full strength.

Compatibility:
