Child safety catches for drawers

thingiverse

I designed three hooks to secure our kitchen's doors and drawers safely. I provided the Freecad designs so you can modify them as desired. The current design involves attaching the hooks using door handle screws, which are typically 5cm from the top and side edge in most kitchens. A basic variant comes with a broad catch for mounting inside a cabinet. This catch is wide to make it easier to install and offers a larger area for double-sided adhesive tape to secure the hook firmly. The Senk-variant is designed specifically for doors with a board running along the top of the drawer, allowing the catch to latch onto it without needing adhesive. The SL variant locks drawers together, eliminating the need for an adhesive catch. To open the secured door or drawer, simply pull it open until the catch allows and then press on the hook to release its hold.
