CLYMENE Refrigerator Lock Review

The CLYMENE Refrigerator Lock is designed to provide a secure and convenient solution for keeping your refrigerator closed and preventing unwanted access. With its innovative features and easy installation, it offers peace of mind and convenience for households with children, pets, or the need for a tight seal.

The lock features a childproof design, allowing for one-handed operation while ensuring that it cannot be easily opened by toddlers. It emits a satisfying 'click' sound when the door is closed, indicating that it is securely locked. The lock engages automatically and can be disengaged with a simple pinching motion.

One of the key highlights of this lock is its normally open function. When the door closes, the lock snaps into place automatically. However, if desired, both lock latches can be pressed simultaneously to enable the normally open function. This allows for convenient access to the refrigerator without unlocking the lock.

The CLYMENE Refrigerator Lock is compatible with most refrigerators on the market. It can accommodate refrigerator sealing strips up to 1" (25 mm) thick and is suitable for fridges with recessed door frames ranging from -0.35" (-9mm) to raised door frames +0.19" (+5mm). Whether you have an outdoor fridge, a mini fridge, or an upright freezer, this lock can provide the security you need.

Installation of the lock is a breeze, thanks to its proven reliability and strong adhesive tapes from 3M VHB. Simply peel off the backing and apply the lock to the desired position. Press the two pieces together firmly, ensuring they are aligned over the door gap. The viscosity of the tape will gradually increase over time, displaying its full adhesive strength after 24 hours.

One of the key advantages of the CLYMENE Refrigerator Lock is its versatility. Not only does it prevent curious toddlers from getting into the refrigerator, but it also protects against air leaks from aging seals. Additionally, it proves effective in preventing mischievous pets, such as cats, from opening the freezer part and going inside.

If you're looking for a perfect and inexpensive solution to keep your fridge secure, the CLYMENE Refrigerator Lock is an excellent choice. It solves the problem of finding the door ajar, without being obtrusive or difficult to use. By keeping your refrigerator closed and maintaining a tight seal, it helps prevent food spoilage, maintains freshness, and saves energy.
