safety latch
Toddler-proofing mechanism
A safety latch is a fastening device designed to prevent accidental opening, typically used on cabinets, gates, or equipment to protect children or ensure secure closure.
The latch requires a deliberate action—pressing a button, lifting a tab—that's easy for adults but difficult for small children or unintentional contact: We installed safety latches on all the kitchen cabinets.
