Test result preview
The REDTRON adjustable cupboard lock is a clever solution to effectively protect dangerous areas in the home from curious children and pets. With a sophisticated double lock system, simple installation and flexible customisation options, the product offers an optimal combination of safety and user-friendliness. Particularly noteworthy is the durable, non-toxic material, which is not only robust but also harmless to health. However, improved adhesive strength would be desirable, as the safety catches can come loose on rougher surfaces.
Advantages
- Versatile use for furniture and appliances
- Simple assembly without tools
- Flexible design for different sizes
- Non-toxic material for greater safety
Disadvantages
- Limitedadhesion of the adhesive film to some surfaces

In practical tests, the REDTRON cabinet security system was largely able to fulfil its promises. Installation is quick and easy thanks to the enclosed 3M adhesive film. The fuses held reliably on all surfaces tested, although they could be improved on rough or heavily loaded areas. Children were unable to open the devices even under heavy loads. Another positive aspect to emphasise is that the product has no sharp edges. The only point of criticism is the adhesive strength, which could be improved in individual cases.
