Cabinet Hardware: Child-proof antique

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

This vintage lock is way ahead of its time: It's child-proof. Designed to be mounted inside cupboards or drawers, it prevents entry without key(s).

The mechanism requires some cabinet cuts, including a cutout for the keyhole and a mortise for the lock body.

The lock is fully restored and ready for installation.

Cupboard or Drawer Lock measures 1-3/4" by 1-1/8" by 3/8".

Price is $9 (January 2006).
