Safety 1st OutSmart Flex Lock – Decoy Button Cabinet Lock for Child Safety

Safety 1st OutSmart Flex Lock is a slide-lock cabinet lock designed to help families manage curious little hands. The standout feature is a decoy button that looks inviting to kids, yet has no effect when pressed. This subtle misdirection lets you monitor access while keeping cabinets secure for everyday items.

Smart design that fits your cabinets

The lock uses a flexible surface that hides the actual opening, so the mechanism remains concealed from casual inspection. Installation is simple and tool-free, with no drilling required.
