The Appliance Lock minimises the risk of baby or toddler opening a hot appliance. It has a heat-resistant adhesive that is suitable for most ovens, microwave ovens, dishwashers, washing machines and clothes driers. A simple colour indicator shows if the lock is on or off.
Appliance Lock Installation – Prevent Unwanted Access to Hot & Hazardous Appliances
Protect Little Hands from Big Hazards: In a world designed for adults, household appliances pose real risks for young children. From hot oven doors to curious fingers exploring dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers—everyday appliances can be dangerous for babies and toddlers. That’s where the Appliance Lock comes in.
At First Steps Safe Steps, we install high-quality, heat-resistant appliance locks that help prevent access to potentially harmful appliances—giving you peace of mind and protecting your child from burns, bumps, and other avoidable injuries.
Safe, Simple, and Designed for Child Safety
Our appliance locks are built with both safety and convenience in mind:
- Heat-Resistant Adhesive – Secure even on hot oven doors and other warm surfaces
- Versatile Compatibility – Ideal for ovens, microwaves, dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers
- Visual Safety Indicator – Easy-to-read colour system shows whether the lock is engaged or not
- No-Tool Installation – Securely fitted with strong adhesive, without drilling or damage
Essential for Kitchens & Laundries
Appliance locks are especially effective in areas where children spend supervised time but hazards are high:
- Ovens & Microwaves – Prevent burns from hot glass and metal
- Dishwashers – Stop access to sharp knives and detergent residue
- Washing Machines & Dryers – Avoid trapped fingers or unbalanced loads
Whether you’re babyproofing a compact apartment or a busy family kitchen, appliance locks are a must-have in your safety toolkit.
Professionally Installed for Maximum Safety
While appliance locks seem simple, correct positioning is key to ensuring strength and reliability—especially on heated surfaces like ovens. That’s why our team handles installation for you. We assess the make, model, and surface material to ensure every lock is securely placed and fully functional. If you’re combining with other kitchen safety upgrades like drawer latches or stove guards, we’ll coordinate everything during the same visit.
Pair with Other Childproofing Solutions
A single lock won’t solve every hazard. We recommend combining appliance locks with:
- Cupboard and Drawer Locks – Keep sharp utensils and cleaners out of reach
- Stove Guards – Block access to hot burners and boiling pots
- Corner Protectors – Soften sharp bench or table edges in kitchens and laundries
- Blind Cord Tensioner & Safety – Prevent entanglement near laundry or pantry areas
