Hello everyone, I have several Ikea Besta cabinets with doors in our living room. Since we have small children at home, I am looking for a child-safe way to securely lock the BESTA doors to prevent the children from rummaging through the contents or possibly pulling something down. It is important to me that the solution does not involve small dangerous parts or chemicals, that no clearly visible locks are attached on the outside, and that it can ideally be easily opened by adults without damaging the doors or requiring complicated modifications. Does anyone have experience or recommendations on how to reliably and child-safely lock BESTA doors? Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hi Onjan68! This is a really important topic! Especially when you have children, you want safety without much hassle. I also really like magnetic locks – they are very discreet and don’t spoil the look of the furniture.
I installed these locks myself at home; they can be attached quickly and have the added advantage that mom or dad can easily open them with the magnet.
A tip from me: If you’re willing, you can mark the lock inside with a small spot of paint, so you can quickly find exactly where to hold the magnet!
Great that you’re asking here – I hope you find a solution that works well for your family! 😊
