Lock for cupboards that gets unlocked by a magnet. This makes cupboards toddler proof. I use it mainly in the kitchen, where the little dude often made a mess by emptying the bottom cupboards.

BOM:

  • 2 Neodymium magnets 10mm * 10mm  * 5mm

  • 2 M3 screws, 18mm length

  • 3 4mm wood screws, length at least 10mm

Instructions:

  • print all parts

  • assemble all parts (should be self explanatory), put the magnets to place (glue them if they are to loose)

  • screw the hook with hinge to the door at the desired height

  • screw the latch inside the cupboard: the middle of the screw rail is 3.5cm from the door plane away. Measure this distance and screw one screw to the rail, semi fixed.

  • adjust the latch to fit the hook and test

  • screw the second screw to the latch to fix it permanently Thanks to Non-ICE for the good basis. My

Changes to the original:

  • latch and hinge axes reinforced by M3 screws, threads modeled

  • washer to hold the hook in place (don't use a metal one, it will interfere with the magnet on the hook)

  • screw rail on the latch part

  • new ergonomic key

  • minor changes to dimensions, e.g. tighter fit for the magnet in the hook Fusion 360 project file is attached.
