Hi, I have some IKEA cabinets that I need to lock. What's the best way to do this? I would like for it to be clean and tidy (no padlocks ha ha ha).

If you're looking for a lock without padlocking, you could do one of two things.
You could modify and cut into the panel with something like this, for a combination secured result.
Alternatively, you could actually cut in an put in a standard small barrel lock, such as this one. Would only require a drill, hot glue and a tab to lock against.
If it doesn't need to be "secure", you could try a fastener solution or a latch solution.
It's a bit difficult if you want it to be flush — as the cabinet is not purpose built to be locked. Good luck though.
