The invention refers to a lockable receptacle holder for personal hygiene products. The holder according to the invention comprises a body (1) intended to be fixed to a wall, the body (1) comprising a horizontal upper portion (1a), a horizontal lower portion (1b) parallel to the upper portion (1a) and a main vertical portion, a locking mechanism for said receptacle being fitted beneath the horizontal upper portion (1a), which can be unlocked by means of a key inserted through a slot (13) provided in the upper portion (1a), the locking mechanism consists of a pair of receptacle securing components, each comprising, at the front side, an arched claw (3, 4) having an outer end and an inner end between which a circular sector is defined that secures the neck of the receptacle and, at the rear side, a profiled tab (20, 19) intended to interact with an actuating component (5) elastically tensioned by means of a leaf spring (6) compressed against the main vertical portion of the body (1), the actuating component (5) being provided with a recess positioned in correspondence with the slot (13) provided in the upper portion (1a) of the body (1), such that, upon insertion of the tip of the key through the slot (13) and the said recess, the tip of the key interacts with the actuating component (5), which in turn acts on the profiled tabs (20, 19), thereby causing the translation of the actuating component (5) and, automatically, the outward planar pivoting of the arched claws (3, 4) which release the neck of the receptacle and, simultaneously, the outward planar pivoting of tongues (21, 22) forming the inner ends of claws (3, 4), which automatically push the receptacle outside the holder.
