Child protection for drawers and cabinets

Young parents should take care of a safe environment in advance, long before the moment when the baby begins to move independently around the house and express interest in the surrounding world. The contents of the cabinets and drawers are very attractive for small children, and there is always something important that can suffer in the process of playing: there are documents and neatly laid out things. However, the greatest danger lies in a variety of medicines, household chemicals, sharp and piercing, heavy objects. The worst can be avoided, if you use safety tools for children who provide protection.

As for the furniture itself, its design should not cause doubts in stability, there should be no sharp corners. Shaky furniture should be strengthened or removed to another room where the baby does not have access. The task of the parents is to protect their child from probable bruises, and themselves from unwanted confusion.

All parents know how dangerous it is to play with the closet door. So that your child even accidentally could not pinch the fingers and did not use the prohibited items for games, you can use special devices. These are called locks.

They vary according to the type of door:

• For folding wardrobes and wardrobes. Universal models are designed for two types of doors. The device looks like two clips in the form of buttons that stick to the cabinet: there are models with a glue base or with suction cups. Between themselves, they are connected by an elastic plastic tape.

• For swing. This option is characterized by the need to use screws. Such products are suitable for wooden furniture. One part of the blocker is screwed from the inside to the door, the other to the upper wall. Locking swing doors are also U-and C-shaped locks and rings that are put on the handles of the cabinet.

• For glass. Some cabinets have fragile transparent doors, and they are of particular interest to children: after all, through the glass, everything seems even more tempting.For glass doors specially made locking in the form of hooks, locks.

Very handy special handles, which are built in locks and latches. They can be put on the same place where the old pens were. This is very convenient: in the furniture will not have to make an extra hole. The disadvantage of such a handle with a lock can be called higher price (compared to other blockers).

A special threat to curious crumbs are boxes that come to hand. Retractable structures are very insidious: it is worth the karapuzu inadvertently pushing the box - and he hurts his finger painfully. To avoid this will help the latches secured from the inside.

There is a lock drawer opening. The bollards are fixed from the inside with small screws. Stopping the movement of the box will also protect against accidental falling on children's feet. To open the box with the side latch, you need to press two buttons - and immediately pull it out.

There are two types of blockers for boxes:

• Internal.Elements of such a mechanism are located inside the box: safety locks, which have openings, are glued to the shelf of the box inside, and the hooks are fastened to the front from the inside.
• External. On the surface of the box both parts are fixed: the first one is pressed against the side part, and the other - on the edge of the box. When the box is closed, the parts of the lock-blocker are inserted one into the other according to the fastex principle: the part with the teeth enters the slot and snaps into place.

The most common products are plastic blockers. In operation, they are as convenient as possible, fixed with velcro. When a small child becomes an adult, they can be removed.

Doors between rooms should not be a source of injury for the baby. Special accessories for interior doors will help to avoid unexpected damages and injuries.

According to the principle of action door locks:

• fix the door in a certain position, not allowing to move;
• Do not give the door to shut.

A separate view is the locking latch for door hinges.It is a strut that is inserted between the door leaf and the door frame. The lock is hung on the hinge, thereby locking the door. She remains open.

Modern clamps can protect the door from closing, any adult can safely and quickly install this device. When the device is removed, it will not leave any traces.

The space between the floor and the door leaf can be used for the floor blocker, it fixes the door and protects it from slamming. Such devices are all kinds of designs and designs. They are rubber or plastic, sometimes funny.

Some adults use snap-on locks, which can be unsafe if there is a small child in the house: after all, it can accidentally close itself. This can be prevented by a special lock for the handle: by preventing it from snapping in, it secures in the open position.

So that the door does not suddenly shut and hurt no one,You can use the most simple devices - soft shock absorbers. These products made of rubber or plastic are mounted on the edge of the door.

In addition to the furniture parts that are being put forward, the danger can also be in the furniture itself, more precisely, in its sharp corners and edges. Come to the aid of protective corners and lining that can protect from impact or soften it.

The simplest plugs on a self-adhesive basis cover all the protruding elements of the furniture structure: screws, nails, decor.

For babies taking the first steps, it is necessary to make the edges and corners of the furniture frames as safe as possible. From special injuries will protect the special lining that closes the furniture right angles. Most often they are made of silicone, in shape it can be a spherical or square lining.

The edge of the furniture is smoothed with a protective tape: flat, angular or U-shaped. The material is rubber, having a sticky side to secure the tape on the surface of pieces of furniture.

Old furniture often had drawers and doors with locks - previously they also thought about the safety of children. If your cabinets and dressers are equipped with locks, it is necessary that all the doors and drawers are locked with keys, which must be immediately removed to a place inaccessible to children.

Many parents use various improvised means. For example, to not open the cabinet, you can simply tie the door handles with a rope.

To prevent the drawers from being pulled out, some parents fasten them with adhesive tape or adhesive tape. In the closet door, you can "wedge" the wheel. This will not allow the door to close and harm the baby. Options may be very different. If you do not know which protective product is better to buy, making your own hands can be the best option.
