Baby gates, furniture anchoring, cabinet locks, outlet covers, and cord management. Professionally installed in Wilton 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. We work with Wilton 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, including the steep original stairs common in older Wilton colonials. We never use pressure mounted gates at stair applications.
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.
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. We also install hearth gates at fireplaces. 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 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 Wilton childproofing visits are complete in one to two hours. Same day available most days.
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.
