How to Install BABYGO® Child Safety Products

How to fit the Oven Lock

The BABYGO® Oven Lock keeps the oven door shut against little hands. Fit it to a cold oven, and give it a full day before you cook.

1. Clean and dry the spot. Wipe the flat panel just above the oven door and let it dry completely.
2. Check the arrow. Make sure the raised arrow lines up with the top of the lock.
3. Peel and press. Peel the backing off the 3M™ pad and press the lock firmly onto the panel above the door, centred, so that when it is turned to locked it reaches down across the top of the door. Hold it for 10 seconds.
4. Leave it 24 hours. The adhesive needs a full day to cure before the oven gets hot.

Locking and unlocking. Press and hold the two side buttons and twist the lock a quarter turn. Pointing down across the door, it is locked. Turned to the side, the door opens as normal, which is handy while you are cooking. It twists either way, so use whichever feels easier.

How to fit the Door Stoppers

BABYGO® Door Stoppers stop a door closing all the way, so there is always a gap for small fingers. They work on doors that open left or right.

1. Pick a spot high up. Choose a place on the face of the door at its opening edge, high enough that your child cannot reach it. Wipe it clean and let it dry.
2. Line it up. The edge of the door should sit against the two small raised dots on the base, so the grey cushion reaches past the edge and meets the frame when the door closes.
3. Peel and press. Peel the backing off the 3M™ pad, put it in place and press firmly for 10 to 20 seconds.
4. Leave it 24 hours before the door takes any knocks.

Switching it off. Turn the grey cushion a quarter turn so it sits along the edge of the door, and the door closes normally. Turn it back across when the children are about.

How to fit the Corner Protectors

BABYGO® Corner Protectors cushion the sharp corners at your toddler's head height. Each clear dome fits corners up to 2.5 cm thick.

1. Clean and dry the corner. Dust and cleaning spray stop the adhesive bonding.
2. Peel and place. Peel the backing off the 3M™ pad and set the dome over the corner. Work quickly, because the adhesive grips fast.
3. Press the whole protector down, not just the middle, so every part of the pad makes contact.
4. Leave it 24 hours before little hands get at it.

Taking them off. Warm the protector with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive, then peel it away slowly from one side. On old or waxed wood, try one somewhere hidden first and leave it a few days.

How to fit the Plug Socket Covers

BABYGO® Plug Socket Covers stick to the front of the socket, with nothing pushed inside it, and stay on while you use it. A plug lines each one up for you.

1. Clean the faceplate. Wipe the socket front clean and let it dry. Never cover a socket that is cracked, loose or scorched; that needs an electrician.
2. Peel the backing off the 3M™ pad on the cover.
3. Use a plug to line it up. Twist the disc so the holes line up, slide the cover onto a plug with the sticky side facing out, push the plug into the socket and press the cover firmly onto the faceplate.
4. Pull the plug out. The cover stays on the socket. Leave it 24 hours to bond.

Using the socket. Twist the disc until the holes line up with the plug pins and push the plug in. When you pull the plug out, the cover snaps shut on its own.

Taking one off. Warm it with a hairdryer on a medium setting for 30 to 60 seconds, held 5 to 10 cm away, then gently twist or pull it away. Do not force it.

How to use the Magnetic Key

The key opens BABYGO® magnetic locks, including the ones in the Baby Proofing Kit. Each key comes with a mount, so it always has a home. Spare keys are sold in pairs.

1. Choose a spot. High on a wall or the side of a unit, near the cupboards it opens but well above your child's reach, even when they stand on something. Avoid the fridge; it is the first place a child looks.
2. Stick the mount. Clean and dry the spot, peel the backing off the mount and press it firmly. Give it 24 hours.
3. Twist the key off its mount to use it. Hold it flat against the outside of the door, over the lock, and move it downwards. The lock lets go. The placement stickers show you where to hold it.

Thick doors. The key opens doors up to 38 mm thick. Always use it off its mount, as it is stronger that way.

Fitting a Baby Proofing Kit or Home Safety Kit

A kit is a box of our products, so you fit each piece with its own guide. Plan an afternoon: most of the time goes on the kitchen cupboards, so use the placement stickers to check each lock lines up before you commit the adhesive.

In the Baby Proofing Kit:

• 8 magnetic locks and 8 catches, 1 magnetic key, the applicator and placement stickers: magnetic lock guide and key guide
• 4 safety straps: safety strap guide
• 1 oven lock: oven lock guide
• 2 door stoppers: door stopper guide
• 8 corner protectors: corner protector guide
• 8 plug socket covers, in the white kit only: socket cover guide
• Spare 3M™ tape, and screws if you would rather fix the busiest cupboards for good

The Home Safety Kit is the same kit plus our baby gate (two with the two gates option): baby gate guide.

Something missing from your box? Email help@babygo.uk and we will sort it.

Getting the adhesive to hold

Almost everything in our safety range sticks on with 3M™ adhesive, and the same four things decide how well it holds.

• A clean, dry, smooth surface. Wipe with something that leaves no residue, then let it dry fully. Painted, textured or porous surfaces hold far less reliably.
• Cool, not warm. Never fit anything to a surface that is warm, such as an oven that has been on.
• Firm pressure. Press the whole pad down hard for several seconds when you fit it.
• Time. Leave it 24 hours before you test it. The bond keeps getting stronger over the first three days.

To move or remove anything, warm it with a hairdryer first and ease it off slowly. A pad will not stick as well a second time, so use fresh tape for a refit.
