FAQs

How does the magnetic key work?

The magnetic key contains a strong magnet. When placed on the exterior of the cabinet or drawer, it attracts a corresponding metal component within the internal lock mechanism, causing it to disengage and allow the door or drawer to open.

Can I disable the locks permanently?

Yes, each lock has a small lever on the interior side that can be flipped to permanently disable the locking mechanism without removing the lock. This is useful when children are older or when continuous adult access is needed.

How many locks and keys are included?

Each set includes two magnetic safety locks and one magnetic key.

What is the minimum thickness for my cabinet doors/drawers?

While specific minimums aren't stated, the system is designed for standard furniture. It requires enough space inside for the lock mechanism and for the strike to engage properly. Very thin doors may require careful alignment.

Are these locks suitable for all types of cabinets?

They are designed for standard hinged doors and drawers. They may not be suitable for sliding doors or cabinets with very unusual opening mechanisms.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Basic tools such as a screwdriver and a drill for pilot holes are generally required. An included template helps with precise placement.

Troubleshooting

Lock does not engage when the door/drawer is closed.

Ensure the strike plate is correctly aligned with the lock mechanism. Adjust the position of either the lock or the strike if necessary. Check that the door or drawer is closing fully.

Magnetic key does not open the lock.

Ensure the magnetic key is held directly over the correct spot on the exterior of the door/drawer where the lock is located. Try repositioning the key. Check if the lock has been accidentally disabled by the lever.

Lock is difficult to open even with the key.

Verify that the internal mechanism is not obstructed. Ensure the screws holding the lock and strike are tight but not overtightened, which could bind the mechanism.

The lever to disable the lock is stuck.

Gently try to move the lever back and forth. Ensure no debris is preventing its movement. If necessary, temporarily remove the lock to access and free the lever.
