The best starting point is the cabinet, not the name on the pack. Check its handles, door gap, surface and opening direction.
Doors with suitable handles or knobs
Britton adjustable cabinet lock has a flexible adjustable strap that fits around compatible cabinet knobs. Britton cabinet handle lock is another handle-fitting option. Neither is a universal fit: check handle spacing and whether the lock stays secure without leaving a useful opening.
Drawers and cabinet corners
Britton drawer angle locks, 2 pieces are intended for compatible drawers and cabinets. Their opening mechanism differs from a handle lock. Make sure the placement allows an adult to operate it and the drawer to close properly.
Where a flexible connection is useful
Britton multi-purpose latches, 2 pieces can connect suitable surfaces around corners and do not require screws. Surface texture and finish still matter. Check the manufacturer's installation instructions and the surface before attaching it.
For another cabinet layout
Britton cabinet latches, 2 pieces offer a different latch style. Compare the actual fixing points and access needed for installation. Do not assume every Britton cabinet lock uses the same mounting method.
After installation
Test closing and reopening several times. Check fixings regularly and stop using a loose or damaged lock. Store hazardous items out of reach even when the cupboard is locked. Children may eventually learn to operate a safety accessory.
