I imagine you could attach some screw-in hooks/eyes to the top (I would put the top hook/eye on the back of the Kallax if possible) and bottom of the Kallax units and then connect a bungee cord with a hook in front of the cubes. My only hesitation is that if the kids try to mess with the bungee cord, they could work it loose and injure themselves if the bungee cord is under too much tension. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-4-Zinc-Plated-Steel-Screw-Eye-25-Pack-803662/204273859 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Keeper-48-in-Carabiner-Bungee-Cord-47702/207097627 Those 2 parts should be a good starting point.

r/ikeahacks on Reddit: Adding Lock to Kallax Insert with Door?
November 13, 2019 -

Hello all. New to sub. I have two Kallax 2x4 shelf units. I would like to add an insert with a cabinet door to one of the shelves but I would also like to be able to lock it. Not "keeping all my most prized possessions plus the Hope Diamond" secure. It can be basic af. Cheap. Any ideas or advice? Or have you done this yourself and can give me a play by play? Any help will be appreciated.

r/ikeahacks on Reddit: Locking system for Kallax, Expedit cube storage units?
January 17, 2020 -

I have several cube storage units in our playroom. The issue I keep having is neighborhood kids thrashing the room. I want to be able to lock cubes place economically where I can dictate what is available to play with and what is not.

I was thinking a narrow bar or bungee cord that prevents the cube from being removed that I can lock somehow. I have 3 ‘9 cube’ units and prefer to lock them from the bottom up instead of sideways.

I know about individual locking doors, don’t want to do that if avoidable.

I don’t mind them playing with toys but Legos I’d rather be left locked up during play dates unless we pull out a specific set or something.

Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated.
