Childproofing Services in Wilton

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 Wilton 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, including the steep original stairs common in older Wilton colonials. We never use pressure mounted gates at stair applications.

Furniture Anti Tip Anchoring

Dressers, bookshelves, tall antique pieces, 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, Edge, and Hearth Guards

Foam and rubber edge guards on coffee tables, dining tables, and sharp furniture corners at head height for a standing toddler. We also install hearth gates at fireplaces. Adhesive backed and removable without wall damage.

Window Stop Locks and Cord Management

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.

What a Wilton Childproofing Visit Looks Like

A Cannondale family in an older colonial asked us to make their home safe for a toddler who had just learned to climb. We anchored several tall antique pieces to the wall studs, using backing plates where the lath and plaster would not hold a strap on its own, fitted a hearth gate at the fireplace, and installed hardware mounted gates on the steep original staircases at both the top and the bottom. Careful work on antique furniture, done in one afternoon.

We serve all of Wilton including Wilton Center, Georgetown, Cannondale, and Nod Hill. Same day and next day appointments are available most weeks. Call (475) 500-7126 or book online to schedule.

Childproofing Questions for Wilton 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 Wilton homes, including the steep original staircases in older colonials.
Can you anchor tall antique furniture in older Wilton homes?
Yes. We anchor tall antique dressers, armoires, and bookcases to wall studs with anti tip straps, and we use backing plates and toggle anchors where lath and plaster walls will not hold a strap on their own. We take care to avoid visible damage to antique pieces.
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 Wilton 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.
