Furniture Anchoring FAQs

Dealing with the danger of tip-overs, struggling to find the right anchoring hardware, or worrying about wall damage doesn’t have to compromise your home’s safety. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions our clients ask about our professional furniture anchoring and child safety services.

Which types of furniture pieces absolutely need to be anchored for child safety?

The most crucial pieces to anchor are tall, heavy furniture items with a low center of gravity, especially those where drawers can be opened. This includes all dressers, chests of drawers, bookshelves over 30 inches tall, large entertainment centers, and tall cabinets. If you have young children or pets, securing these items is a simple, mandatory step to prevent serious tip-over injuries

Do I need to buy the anchoring straps or hardware before my appointment?

While we recommend purchasing the specific anti-tip kits or safety straps you prefer, we generally keep a supply of universal, heavy-duty anchoring hardware on hand for maximum security. If you have the furniture manufacturer’s original kit, please have it ready. If you don’t, we can use our reliable hardware and factor the cost into the service.

Does anchoring the furniture cause significant damage to the wall?

Our goal is always a secure and neat installation. We anchor the furniture by drilling small, precisely sized holes into the wall (usually into a wall stud for maximum strength) to install the strap or bracket. When done correctly, the final result is a securely fastened piece of furniture with minimal visual impact. We use the smallest necessary holes and provide the tightest possible fit to ensure safety without causing major damage.
