Appliance Lock

Appliance Lock

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:

Fantastic Service

Fantastic service. Mitch gives great advice on baby proofing. He opened our eyes to where we needed to baby proof and also saved us money by making sure we didn’t “over baby proof” our house. He was tidy and did a great job installing baby proofing around our house. Thanks again we will definitely refer you to our friends and family!

Greatly Appreciated

I would like to thank Mitch for his help in “Twinado” proofing our living areas. His prompt and efficient service is greatly appreciated (though not by the twins, they were less than impressed that they could no longer get into my DVD cabinets!)

Prompt & Reliable Service

I contacted First Steps Safe Steps to install safety gates. They offered an appointment 2 days later and came at the agreed time. Mitchell was able to fix all our problems on the spot and provided further advice. We choose the roller blind gates that have a slim and discreet look. Thanks so much Mitchell for the prompt and reliable service. We now have more freedom and peace of mind while caring for our little 1 year old. I definitely recommend their services.

Fantastic Experience

I had a fantastic experience with First Steps Safe Steps today…

It was SO easy…I rang Mitchell (the owner) to arrange a time, he then visited our house, assessed what was needed to ‘baby proof’, provided a quote, and then installed all requested items…all within two hours!

Mitchell was super friendly and polite, did a great job, cleaned up afterwards, and even offered to do an odd job that he noticed while there. I can’t recommend it more highly!!
