Baby Proofing

Appliance Locks for Child Safety in Dubai

A hot oven door, a washing machine drum, a dishwasher full of knives and a fridge full of glass jars all attract curious toddlers. We fit appliance locks and knob covers that keep doors closed and controls out of play, without stopping adults using the kitchen.

Kitchen Appliance Safety in Dubai Homes

Open-plan kitchens are standard in Dubai apartments, so toddlers can reach the oven and fridge from the living room without passing a door. That makes appliance locks one of the most important parts of baby proofing.

Many modern appliances already have a child lock in their settings, especially ovens, hobs, washing machines and dishwashers. We switch these on and show you how they work, then add physical locks where the built-in feature does not cover the door.

Appliance locks work alongside child-proof locks and latches on cupboards. A kitchen safety gate is often the simplest way to keep crawlers out of the kitchen altogether. Sharp counter corners are covered under corner guards and edge bumpers.

01 / Appliance by Appliance

Appliance Hazards and the Locks That Solve Them

Oven Door and Hot Glass

Likely cause: Toddlers pull oven doors open and lean on hot glass while cooking.

What we do: A heat-resistant oven door lock and, where needed, an oven guard.

Hob Knobs Within Reach

Likely cause: Gas and electric hob knobs can be turned by a child standing on tiptoe.

What we do: Knob covers or removable knobs, plus a hob guard on the front edge.

Washing Machine and Dryer Doors

Likely cause: Front-loading drums invite children to climb in or play with the door.

What we do: Adhesive appliance locks and the machine's own child lock activated.

Fridge and Freezer

Likely cause: Glass jars, heavy bottles and choking-size foods inside.

What we do: A fridge lock that only adults can release with one hand.
