The On/Off Clip is a simple solution that allows only adults to open a drawer or cupboard. This clip locks automatically when closed and you can easily switch the clip on and off when needed. The On/Off Clip mounts to almost any kind of drawer or cupboard both horizontally and vertically.
Flexible child safety means having control over when and where security is needed. The On/Off Clip delivers exactly that—a versatile locking solution that automatically secures drawers and cupboards when closed, while giving adults the freedom to easily switch the lock on or off as circumstances change. Whether you need temporary access for cleaning, permanent security for dangerous storage, or seasonal adjustments as children grow, this adaptable clip provides the perfect balance of safety and convenience.
Why On/Off Clips Matter in Baby Proofing
Every family’s safety needs change throughout the day and as children develop. An On/Off Clip recognizes this reality by offering instant control over cabinet security without permanent modifications or complicated mechanisms. The automatic locking feature ensures security is never forgotten, while the simple on/off function integrates seamlessly with your existing safety measures like baby safety gates and appliance locks for comprehensive home protection.
Key Benefits
- Automatic Locking Action – Engages automatically every time the drawer or cupboard closes for foolproof security
- Instant On/Off Control – Easily switch between locked and unlocked modes without tools or complicated procedures
- Universal Mounting – Adapts to almost any drawer or cupboard configuration, both horizontal and vertical applications
- Adult-Only Operation – Simple mechanism that requires adult coordination while remaining impossible for children to operate
- Flexible Security – Perfect for areas that need intermittent protection or changing access requirements
Seamless Integration with Your Safety Plan
During our comprehensive Child Safety Consultation, your technician will identify areas throughout your home where flexible security makes the most sense. On/Off Clips are ideal for spaces like pantries, cleaning supply cabinets, or home office storage that adults need regular access to but must remain secure when children are present. They work perfectly alongside magnetic clips for high-security areas and slide cabinet locks for permanent protection.
