In the practical test, the ADLERSFELD® drawer safety catch fully met our expectations. Installation is simple and can be carried out without tools in just a few minutes. This is particularly advantageous for parents who are looking for a quick solution for securing their furniture. After two weeks of intensive use, the safety catch shows no signs of wear or loosening; the fastenings remain stable and functional, which indicates a high level of durability.
The tests for resistance to unintentional opening were also consistently positive. In all scenarios, the drawer remained firmly closed without malfunctions or unintentional opening. This ensures a high level of safety for children, as they cannot open or tamper with the drawer. In addition, the safety catch can be removed quickly and easily without damaging the piece of furniture.
