Baby gates, furniture anchoring, cabinet locks, outlet covers, and cord management. Professionally installed in Redding 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. Redding's housing stock leans heavily toward antique colonials and old farmhouses, which often means steep stairs, wide antique trim, and plaster walls that a standard gate kit was never designed for. We work with Redding 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 that suit an antique colonial staircase.
Dressers, bookshelves, armoires, and TV consoles anchored to wall studs with CPSC rated anti tip straps. In plaster and lath homes we switch to toggle anchors and backing. Includes stud location and load testing before we leave.
Magnetic and spring loaded locks on lower cabinets containing 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 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 and wall type confirmed before any anchoring begins.
All gates, anchors, locks, and covers installed and tested. We walk you through each item and confirm it is functioning correctly.
Most Redding childproofing visits are complete in one to two hours. Same day available most days.
A young family in Redding Center called us before their first child started pulling up to standing. The home was a restored colonial with a steep original staircase and plaster walls. We installed hardware mounted baby gates at the top and bottom of that staircase, anchored a tall bookshelf and a dresser in the nursery with toggle anchors sized for the plaster, added cabinet locks in the kitchen and bathrooms, and installed outlet covers throughout the first floor. Done in one morning.
We serve all of Redding including West Redding, Redding Ridge, Redding Center, Georgetown, and Sanfordtown. Same day and next day appointments are available most weeks. Call (475) 500-7126 or book online to schedule.
