How it works
-
Walk and identify
We check every room for furniture that could tip: dressers, bookshelves, TV stands, and anything tall or heavy that a climbing toddler might grab.
-
Match anchoring method
Anti-tip straps for dressers, L-brackets for bookshelves, wall mounts for TVs. Each piece gets the right hardware for its weight and material.
-
Install to studs
We locate wall studs and secure every anchor into solid framing. No drywall-only installs. This is what separates professional anchoring from DIY straps.
-
Verify hold strength
We test each anchor point by pulling the furniture forward to confirm it holds before we sign off.
Frequently asked questions
- How common are furniture tip-over injuries?
- According to the CPSC, a child is sent to the emergency room every 17 minutes due to a furniture or TV tip-over in the US. Dressers are the most common cause. It is one of the most preventable injuries in the home.
- Can you anchor IKEA furniture?
- Yes. IKEA dressers are actually some of the most common pieces we anchor. IKEA includes anti-tip hardware in the box, but most people never install it. We use their included hardware or upgrade to heavier-duty straps depending on the piece.
- Will anchoring damage my furniture or walls?
- Anti-tip straps attach with small screws into the back of the furniture and into a wall stud. The holes are tiny and hidden behind the piece. If you move the furniture later, the wall holes are easy to patch.
- My TV is already on a stand. Should I wall-mount it instead?
- Wall mounting is the safest option for flatscreens, but if you prefer a stand, we can anchor the TV to the stand and the stand to the wall. Either way, the TV stays put if a kid pulls on it.
- Do you anchor furniture in apartments?
- Yes. Most apartments allow small screw holes for safety installations. Check your lease, but anti-tip anchoring is typically covered under safety exceptions. The holes are easy to patch at move-out.
