Microwave with lock, which one?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post.
My Mum has dementia but is living in warden accomadation.
Carers ( and me) cook her meals and a microwave is essential, but Mum has taken to 'trying ' to cook and putting things in the micro and switching it on, as a result she has triggered the smoke alarms and her micro is black with smoke and needs to be thrown and replaced.
We are worried for her safety and wondered if anyone can recommend a child proof microwave or some way we can keep her from using it.
thank you
