Child safety lock

Young children are naturally curious about their surroundings and will always explore, but as they may be unaware of dangerous substances or situations, the results can be fatal.

Numerous cases of poisoning have resulted from eating brightly colored pills or spilling cleaning solvents.

In the United States, child safety locking mechanisms have been required by law since 1970 on all containers for potentially dangerous medicines and household cleaning products.

These locking mechanisms may take several forms, but the most common is a design that requires a tab to be pressed firmly as the lid is twisted.

These devices are helpful to pet owners as well — a typical housecat may be able to paw open a cabinet filled with food, but would have trouble operating the hook mechanism.

With an update to the Code of Federal Regulations in 1985[3] vehicles sold in the US began installing rear door child safety locks on all models.

It is stipulated that the lock should be attached on the side of the fence facing toward the pool, so that anyone entering would have to reach over the top of the boundary.
