Common Tip-Over Dangers & Signs You Need a Professional
The CPSC reports a child is injured by tipping furniture or TVs every 20 minutes. Flat-screen TVs are top-heavy, and bookshelves become climbing ladders.
- The Climber Child: Toddlers pull out drawers as steps and try to climb the entertainment center.
- Unstable Flat Screens: TVs sitting on flimsy factory feet can crash down from a small bump.
- Sharp Corners: Coffee tables and fireplace hearths sit at toddler forehead height.
The Benefits of Expert Anchoring
We don't use the cheap zip ties that come with the furniture. We use professional-grade steel cables and brackets.
- TV Wall Mounting: The safest option—mounted to studs and out of reach with hidden wires.
- Furniture Strapping: Bookshelves and cabinets anchored to studs with hidden steel cables.
- Corner Guard Installation: Clear or foam corner guards on sharp table edges.
- Metal Stud Capable: Snaptoggle anchors for condos with steel studs.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you anchor furniture without drilling into the wall?
- No. To be truly safe, the furniture must connect to wall studs. The holes are small and easily patched later.
- Can you anchor to metal studs in my condo?
- Yes. We carry Snaptoggle anchors specifically designed for steel studs—standard screws strip out.
- Do you also baby proof outlets?
- Yes. We can install tamper-resistant outlets or sliding covers throughout the room.
