Child-proof vice versa

Materials: cavity anchor, screw Description: It is a solution for a most common problem if you have to re-equip your furniture in order to make it child-proof. IKEA offers the PATRULL drawer/cabinet catch, which will, in their words, “Reduce[] the risk of the child reaching improper contents in drawers/cabinets.” As for that, the tiny plastic catch serves its purpose well. Unfortunately, at the same time it increases the risk of the child jamming its fingers because it only prevents a drawer from being opened for more than 4 or 5 centimeters, bot not from being closed again. So I decided to enhance the mechanism by using a special kind of cavity anchor in addition to the PATRULL catch. I cut off one of the anchor’s two blades and screwed it in right above the catch.
