Maglock, Toddler Safety Lock For Cupboards

Lock for cupboards that gets unlocked by a magnet. This makes cupboards toddler proof. I use it mainly in the kitchen, where the little dude often made a mess by emptying the bottom cupboards.

BOM:

• 2 Neodymium magnets 10mm * 10mm  * 5mm

• 2 M3 screws, 18mm length

• 3 4mm wood screws, length at least 10mm

Instructions:

• print all parts

• assemble all parts (should be self explanatory), put the magnets to place (glue them if they are to loose)

• screw the hook with hinge to the door at the desired height

• screw the latch inside the cupboard: the middle of the screw rail is 3.5cm from the door plane away. Measure this distance and screw one screw to the rail, semi fixed.

• adjust the latch to fit the hook and test

• screw the second screw to the latch to fix it permanently Thanks to Non-ICE for the good basis. My

Changes to the original:

• latch and hinge axes reinforced by M3 screws, threads modeled

• washer to hold the hook in place (don't use a metal one, it will interfere with the magnet on the hook)

• screw rail on the latch part

• new ergonomic key

• minor changes to dimensions, e.g. tighter fit for the magnet in the hook Fusion 360 project file is attached.
