- 4 x Jool Baby Child Safety Strap Locks (Model MUL-104)
4. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps for proper installation to ensure maximum security:
- Prepare the Surface: Clean and dry the surfaces where the adhesive pads will be applied. Ensure they are free from dust, grease, or moisture.
- Adjust Strap Length: Slide out part 'A' from the lock mechanism and adjust the strap to the desired length. Ensure the strap is long enough to bridge the gap between the two surfaces you wish to secure, but not so long that it allows significant opening. Note: Once locked, the strap length cannot be adjusted.
- Apply Adhesive: Remove the protective backing from the 3M adhesive pads on both ends of the strap lock.
- Position and Press: Firmly press one end of the lock onto the first surface (e.g., cabinet frame). Hold for at least 30 seconds to ensure strong adhesion. Then, align the second end with the other surface (e.g., cabinet door) and press firmly, holding for 30 seconds.
- Allow to Cure: For optimal adhesion, allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before actively using the lock.

6. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Jool Baby Child Safety Strap Locks:
- Cleaning: Wipe the locks with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic or adhesive.
- Adhesive Longevity: The 3M adhesive is designed for strong, long-lasting hold. Avoid repositioning the locks frequently, as this can weaken the adhesive.
- Removal: If removal is necessary, gently heat the adhesive with a hairdryer on a low setting for 30-60 seconds. This will soften the adhesive, allowing for easier removal without damaging most surfaces. Carefully peel off the lock. Any remaining adhesive residue can often be removed with a soft cloth and a small amount of rubbing alcohol or a specialized adhesive remover.
7. Troubleshooting
- Lock Not Sticking: Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Press firmly for the recommended time (at least 30 seconds) and allow 24 hours for the adhesive to cure. Extreme temperatures or humidity can affect adhesion.
- Child Can Open the Lock: Verify that the strap is adjusted to the shortest possible length that still allows the door/drawer to close. The slide-and-pull mechanism requires dexterity that most toddlers lack. If a child consistently defeats the lock, consider repositioning it or using an additional lock for enhanced security.
- Strap Comes Loose from Mechanism: Ensure the strap is fully inserted and clicked into place when closing. If the strap consistently detaches, the lock may be damaged and require replacement.
