safety locks
Cabinet securing devices
Safety locks are mechanisms designed to prevent accidental discharge, unauthorized use, or unintended operation.
On firearms, a safety lock blocks the trigger or firing mechanism until deliberately disengaged.
The term extends to childproof locks on medicine bottles, car doors, and cabinets: The safety locks keep toddlers out of the cleaning supplies.
Safety locks on power tools prevent startup until a button is pressed.
