Dreambaby Adhesive Mag Lock
Dreambaby Adhesive Mag Lock is a cost-conscious, easy-to-install magnetic system designed for furniture locks that emphasizes simple, damage-free mounting — a strong financial choice for households on a budget or short-term installations. Technically it matches other adhesive magnetic offerings in childproofing effectiveness but typically undercuts them on price or multi-pack value, making it a competitive alternative to Safety 1st while remaining less permanent and generally less tamper-resistant than metal solutions like Prime-Line or keyed units like Richelieu. Its appeal is strongest for renters and parents seeking inexpensive, no-drill protection for cabinets and drawers.

Prime-Line U 9945 Drawer and Cabinet Lock
Prime-Line U 9945 Drawer and Cabinet Lock is a mechanical, metal-mounted lock that prioritizes durability and tamper resistance, making it the market leader for long-term, heavy-use furniture locks where adhesive systems fall short. Its technical advantage lies in a bolted installation and robust hardware suited for drawers and cabinets under repeated stress, offering better longevity and security than magnetic or adhesive options — though it requires drilling and typically higher upfront labor compared with stick-on systems. Financially it represents good value for permanent installations, outperforming adhesive brands on lifespan and resistance to forced opening.

Richelieu BP2621130 Cam Lock
Richelieu BP2621130 Cam Lock is a keyed metal cam lock favored where controlled access and commercial-grade security are required for furniture locks, offering the strongest deterrent to unauthorized opening among the listed products. This cam lock stands apart from child-focused magnetic solutions by providing keyed security and higher mechanical durability, making it the most appropriate choice when key control and formal locking are needed rather than childproof convenience; it is typically pricier and more permanent than adhesive or magnetic options. Compared to Prime-Line's mechanical latch approach, Richelieu emphasizes keyed access and standardized compatibility with cabinet lock hardware.
