Secret drawerAnonymous reviewerThis lock is great does what you need it to do secure a drawer or cupboard from little fingers.
Unreliable and frustratingAnonymous reviewerI bought 3 and have installed 2 on suitable doors of suitable thickness. They were installed 3 weeks ago with new batteries. Both of them have proved unreliable - sometimes not unlocking. Maybe I've just been unlucky but I will probably need to replace them.
Easy then you thoughtAnonymous reviewerInstalled this by myself it’s so nice to have it done but if the key do like a card shape will be 5 out of 5
Cool little piece of kitAnonymous reviewerI used it to create an invisible lock on one of the cupboards in my ikea desk. As it’s on the inside it’s invisible to everyone.
Installing can be a bit fiddly in tight spaces with a manual screwdriver so I recommend using ikeas mini Trixig screwdriver.
The pictures and video aren’t very good at showing how the product works so on the 2nd to last picture the small metal rectangle on the main product is essentially a bolt that comes out when you put the NFC card near it. This bolt goes behind the L shaped bracket (included) that sticks out on the inside of the cupboard etc. so when you try and open the door the bolt hits the metal plate sticking out and the door won’t open.
Pretty goodAnonymous reviewerEasy enough to install, works quite well.
One downside - The lock sits on one side of the drawer, so if the drawer has a lot of width you can pull it enough at the opposite side to peer inside (but couldn't get a baby hand inside still).
It also doesn’t mention how to add new NFC cards in the instructions (though easy enough to figure out), it also doesn't mention what happens in the case of low battery or how long to expect batteries to last.
