Q: How do I release it?
Hold the knob of the magnetic secret latch against the door at the spot where the catch is hidden; the magnet releases it so you can pull the door open.

Choose an option to view item availability.
For hidden compartments, liquor cabinets, knife drawers, etc., an invisible locking latch is ideal.
This unique lock is operated by a magnet embedded in a knob that is both a "key" and a pull. Holding the knob to the door where the locking catch is secretly embedded, you can release the catch and pull the door open. It is child-proof.
To mount the lock, drill a 7mm (9/32") hole in the back of the door for the stem, then surface mount the lock with four screws. It can be used on wood 10 to 20mm thick (3/8" to 3/4") as a surface mount, or recessed for thicker doors. The red flip handle holds the lock open.
Mounting template and screws included. You need only one magnetic "key" for a series of locks (each item is sold separately).

Yes, the latch has no visible keyhole or lever, so it functions as a child-proof lock for liquor cabinets or similar compartments.
A surface mount works on doors from 10mm to 20mm (3/8" to 3/4") thick; thicker doors need a recessed installation instead.
No, one magnetic key operates every latch you install, so you only need to buy additional keys if you want a spare.
