Vmaisi 20 Pack Magnetic Cabinet Locks Baby Proofing and 2 Keys - Child Safety Adhesive Lock Review (2026)

Who this pack suits

This is a 20 pack of magnetic cabinet locks with 2 keys from Vmaisi, built for households that need to childproof a larger kitchen, a pantry, and a bathroom vanity from a single purchase. According to the manufacturer, the locks mount inside the cabinet or drawer using 3M adhesive, which means the hardware stays hidden from both children and house guests once installed, unlike strap-style latches that sit visibly on the outside of the doors. That hidden mounting is a meaningful difference for anyone who cares how their kitchen looks with the locks in place, since there is nothing bolted or strapped across the cabinet front.

How the magnetic key and switch work

According to the manufacturer, each lock includes a built-in on/off switch: when set to on, only the magnetic key held near the cabinet front will release the catch, and when set to off, the lock disengages so the cabinet opens normally without needing the key at all. That switch is useful for cabinets that do not need to stay locked all the time, such as ones only a toddler can reach during certain parts of the day. The trade-off is that only 2 keys come with 20 locks, so households need to agree on where the key lives, since losing both would mean every magnetic lock becomes hard to open without a workaround.

Installation and where it works best

Installation uses adhesive rather than screws or drilling, and the manufacturer states the locks require no tools and leave no visible holes, which suits rented apartments as much as owned homes. Because the lock and catch sit inside the cabinet, the manufacturer recommends them for kitchen, bathroom, pantry, storage, and bedroom cabinets and drawers, essentially anywhere a magnetic key can be held up to the outside of the door. One practical limitation worth knowing before buying is that very thick cabinet doors can weaken the magnetic connection between the key and the internal lock, so measuring door thickness against the manufacturer's guidance is worth doing first.

Durability of the magnetic hold

The manufacturer describes the locks as using improved magnetic strength intended to resist determined toddlers as well as household pets that might paw at cabinet doors. Because the mechanism is fully internal, there is no external strap or latch to wear out or snap the way there can be with strap-based locks, and the on/off switch means the same lock can be left open during cooking and switched back to secure afterward without removing anything. Families with very heavy-use cabinets, such as ones opened dozens of times a day, may still want to check the hold periodically, since any adhesive-mounted lock depends on the strength of that bond over time.

Value for a full-kitchen job

At 20 locks for one purchase, this set is priced for a complete kitchen and bathroom baby proofing pass rather than a handful of cabinets, and the concealed, magnetic design is a genuine style upgrade over visible strap latches for anyone who minds how the kitchen looks with locks installed. The main ongoing cost to plan for is replacement keys, since Vmaisi sells extra magnetic keys separately if the original 2 are lost, which is worth budgeting for given how easy small magnetic keys are to misplace in a busy household with young children.
