Baby gates, furniture anchoring, cabinet locks, outlet covers, and cord management. Professionally installed in Monroe and throughout Fairfield County.
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. Monroe has a lot of split levels and multi story colonials with a staircase right off the front hall, so the stair gates and the furniture anchoring usually come first. We work with Monroe families to close that window before any incidents happen.
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.
Dressers, bookshelves, armoires, and TV consoles anchored to wall studs with CPSC rated anti tip straps. Includes stud location, the right hardware for the wall, and load testing before we leave.
Magnetic and spring loaded locks on lower cabinets holding cleaning products, medications, sharp utensils, and heavy cookware. Kitchen and bathroom priority locations first.
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.
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.
Window stops that limit opening to 4 inches per fall prevention guidelines. Blind cord wind ups and replacement with cordless hardware to eliminate the strangulation hazard from looped cords.
Tell us your child's current mobility stage and which areas of the home are accessible. We confirm what hardware to bring.
We assess every room for hazard points before installing anything. Stud location confirmed before any anchoring begins.
All gates, anchors, locks, and covers installed and tested. We walk you through each item and confirm it is working correctly.
Most Monroe childproofing visits are complete in one to two hours. Same day available most days.
A family in Whitney Farms called us before their first child started pulling up to standing. Their colonial had a full flight of stairs off the front hall and an open landing on the second floor. We installed hardware mounted baby gates at the top and bottom of the main staircase, anchored a six foot bookshelf and a dresser in the nursery to the studs, added cabinet locks in the kitchen and bathrooms, and installed outlet covers throughout the first floor. Done in one morning.
We serve all of Monroe including Stepney, Stevenson, East Village, Whitney Farms, and Monroe Center. Same day and next day appointments are available most weeks. Call (475) 500-7126 or book online to schedule.
