What We Install

Childproofing Services in Darien

The American Academy of Pediatrics reports that babies begin pulling up to standing around 8 to 10 months and become independently mobile very quickly after. The window to complete safety installations before a child has access to the full home is measured in weeks. We work with Darien families to close that window before any incidents happen.

22,500

Children injured annually by furniture tip-overs in the United States, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. One child dies every two weeks from a furniture or TV tip-over. Anti-tip anchoring to wall studs is the most direct preventive measure available.

Hardware-Mounted Baby Gates

Anchored into wall studs or a solid doorframe post at the top and bottom of every staircase. We never use pressure-mounted gates at stair applications. Includes metal and wood frame options.

Furniture Anti-Tip Anchoring

Dressers, bookshelves, armoires, and TV consoles anchored to wall studs with CPSC-rated anti-tip straps. Includes stud location, proper hardware selection, and load testing before we leave.

Cabinet and Drawer Locks

Magnetic and spring-loaded locks on lower cabinets containing cleaning products, medications, sharp utensils, and heavy cookware. Kitchen and bathroom priority locations first.

Outlet Covers and Plates

Tamper-resistant outlet covers throughout the home. We prioritize outlets at child height in living areas, bedrooms, and hallways. Also includes sliding plate covers for outlets already in use.

Corner and Edge Guards

Foam and rubber edge guards on coffee tables, dining tables, and sharp furniture corners at head height for a standing toddler. Adhesive-backed and removable without wall damage.

What a Darien Childproofing Visit Looks Like

Recent Job

A Darien family moving into a new home asked us to complete a full childproofing visit before their 10-month-old had access to the new space. We anchored six pieces of furniture to wall studs, installed hardware-mounted gates at both staircases, and added cabinet locks in every room with chemical storage.

FAQ

Childproofing Questions for Darien Homeowners

Should baby gates be hardware-mounted or pressure-mounted?

Hardware-mounted gates are required at the top of any staircase. Pressure-mounted gates are appropriate only for room dividers and low-risk doorways. We use hardware-mounted gates at all stair applications in Darien homes.

Do you anchor furniture to plaster walls in Darien?

Yes. Many older Darien homes have plaster walls. We use appropriate toggle anchors and backing plates for plaster installations so the anti-tip strap holds the same load as a stud-anchored install.

Can I combine childproofing with furniture assembly or TV mounting in one visit?

Yes. We regularly combine childproofing with furniture assembly, TV mounting, and other tasks in a single visit. If you have multiple services to combine, call (475) 500-7126 before booking so we can confirm what fits in one trip to your Darien home.

What age should I childproof my home?

Before the child has access to the space. For furniture anchoring and outlet covers, before you move in or before a baby begins crawling. For baby gates, before the child can walk or climb stairs independently. The AAP recommends hardware gates at stairs from the first day a child has stair access.
