LockBlock: A Revolution in Kitchen Safety

Joseph Joseph's Award-Winning Design Ensures Child Safety

Joseph Joseph's inspiration for the LockBlock came from a universal concern: the safety of children in the home. The LockBlock is a unique solution for securely storing kitchen knives, ensuring that they are accessible only to adult-sized hands. In tests, 96 percent of children aged five and under were unable to remove the knives, demonstrating the effectiveness of this safety-oriented design.

The LockBlock is not just about safety; it's also about innovation. The unique Cam-lock feature is the ingenious mechanism that holds the blades securely in place. The more one pulls on the knives, the stronger the grip becomes, making it impossible to force the knives out of the block. This innovative feature sets the LockBlock apart from traditional knife storage solutions.

Constructed with a durable ABS plastic exterior and interior block, along with a resin lid and rubber-lined mechanism, the LockBlock is designed to last. The knives themselves are made from stainless steel and ABS plastic, ensuring durability and longevity. The overall dimensions of the block with knives are 5.51" D x 5.51" W x 14.17" H, making it a compact addition to any kitchen.

The LockBlock's operation is as innovative as its design. It features two release buttons located on either side of the unit, which must be pressed firmly to disengage the Cam-lock system. This ensures that the knives can only be removed with a deliberate, adult-sized grip.

Designed and produced in January 2015, the LockBlock is a testament to Joseph Joseph's commitment to research-driven design. The brand's focus on safety, functionality, and innovation is evident in this product, which is not only a practical kitchen tool but also a significant advancement in home safety.

The LockBlock is more than just a knife block; it's a solution for safer homes. Ideal for parents with young children, it provides the perfect solution for safely storing kitchen knives. Available as a standalone product with universal knife slots or with its own set of six high-quality knives, the LockBlock is a must-have for every safety-conscious home.
