High-standard Type All-plastic Trigger Sprayer with Leak-proof Design for Household and Industrial Use

What is a Plastic Trigger Sprayer with a Child Lock?

It's a common dispensing mechanism found on bottles for household cleaning products, gardening chemicals, and some personal care items. The "child lock" is a safety mechanism designed to prevent young children from easily activating the sprayer, thereby reducing the risk of accidental ingestion or exposure to harmful contents.

The lock is typically a simple, manual mechanism—not electronic. The most common type involves a tab or lever that must be aligned or flipped before the trigger can be pressed.

How to Use the Child Lock (The Two Main Types)

Most child locks operate in one of two ways:

1. The Twist-and-Lock Mechanism

This is the most common type.

• To Engage (Lock): While the trigger is in the resting (forward) position, twist the nozzle tip to the "Lock" position (often indicated by a padlock symbol ➕ or the word "OFF"). In this position, the trigger will be immobilized and cannot be pressed.

• To Disengage (Unlock): Twist the nozzle tip to the "Unlock" position (often an open padlock symbol or "ON"). You will now be able to press the trigger to spray.

2. The Push-Button or Lever Lock

This type features a separate button or sliding lever on the top or side of the sprayer.

• To Engage (Lock): Push the button or slide the lever to the "Lock" position. This physically blocks the trigger's movement.

• To Disengage (Unlock): Push the button or slide the lever to the "Unlock" position, freeing the trigger for use.

Always refer to the specific instructions on the product's packaging if available.
