Hello everyone, I am looking for effective ways to make Ikea Brimnes furniture childproof. Specifically, I am concerned about the wardrobes and dressers from this series, as I have a young daughter and want to prevent her from opening drawers or doors, which could cause injury or allow her to access items that are not meant for her.
I have already read about child safety solutions like Montessori locks or clamp devices but am unsure which ones really fit well or if there are any special recommendations for the Brimnes series. It would be great if you could share your experiences or tips, especially practical options that are easy to install without significantly changing the appearance or functionality of the furniture.

In addition to child safety locks, it is very important to ensure secure wall anchoring.
The Brimnes series is sturdy, but it can tip over if not properly secured. This poses a significant risk of accidents, especially with small children. IKEA generally provides wall mounting hardware, which should always be used.
In my experience, both magnetic and clamp locks are suitable. The crucial factor is that the safety device is installed correctly and firmly, so it cannot be accidentally opened by a child.

The hinges on Brimnes are different from those on other series, which could affect their effectiveness.That’s true, but for us, the clamp lock still works perfectly even though the hinges are different!
Of course, it also depends on the model, but just try it out and, if necessary, combine several locks. In the end, the main goal is simply safety for the little ones 🌟
Wall mounting is absolutely essential, I completely agree with that!
