Whether it's to classify and store administrative documents or to keep chemicals out of children's reach, you can lock your furniture with a quality lock. To choose the right one, you need to consider various criteria, including the type of furniture to be locked, the desired size, the level of security needed, and the lock’s finish.
Even though a furniture lock does not entirely replace a safe, it should be deterrent and reassuring. The lock mainly consists of blocking access to a piece of furniture as a whole or to a specific compartment, such as a drawer, a shelf, or a cupboard. Renowned brands like Burgaud, Map Massard, Hettich, or Monin generally offer two types of furniture locks: the cam lock or latch lock, and the hook lock. Regardless of the type of lock you purchase, manufacturers usually offer them with a key and sometimes a duplicate. There are also automatic steel locks, to be placed on the doors or at the top center of the furniture, composed of 2 bolts that fit into a strike plate designed during their closure.
