Professional baby gate installation, furniture anchoring, cabinet locks, outlet covers, and cord management across Fairfield County, CT. Scheduled before the due date or booked same day when you realize the clock is ticking.
The average baby begins pulling to stand at 8 to 10 months. Unsecured furniture becomes a fall hazard before most parents realize mobility has changed. Book a childproofing visit before that window.
What We Install
A professional childproofing visit covers every room based on your child's current and upcoming mobility stage. We bring the hardware, the right anchors for your wall type, and the knowledge of what actually fails vs. what just looks safe.
Hardware-mounted gates at all stairway openings, anchored into studs. Pressure-mounted gates at room divider locations. We do not use pressure-mounted gates at stair tops, a known fall hazard. Includes testing with full adult body weight before we leave.
Anti-tip straps on every tall dresser, bookcase, wardrobe, and freestanding shelving unit. TV wall anchors where TVs are on stands. Confirmed stud-to-stud anchoring, not drywall anchors. IKEA MALM, HEMNES, KALLAX, PAX, and BESTA units all require this and almost none leave the store with the straps installed.
Tamper-resistant outlet plate replacement throughout the home at crawling and early-walking height. Sliding plate covers on regularly used outlets. Full outlet replacement with tamper-resistant receptacles available where code and safety require it.
Magnetic locks on lower kitchen cabinets containing cleaning products, sharp items, and heavy cookware. Drawer stops on knife drawers and utility drawers. Bathroom cabinet locks for medications, cleaning supplies, and razors. Invisible magnetic systems available for clients who do not want visible hardware on cabinetry.
Foam or clear silicone corner guards on coffee tables, console tables, hearth edges, and any sharp furniture corner at head height for a standing toddler. Clear guards available for premium furniture where visible foam is not acceptable aesthetically.
Window stop locks that limit opening to 4 inches on all upper-floor windows. Cord wind-ups and cord cleats to remove looped blind cords, the leading cause of strangulation in children under 6. Door pinch guards on interior doors. Door handle covers on rooms that should stay closed.
By Mobility Stage
Childproofing is not a one-time event. Each mobility milestone opens new hazards. We can address all stages in a single visit or phase the work with your child's development.
Local Situations We Handle
These are the calls we get. If yours sounds similar, we can help.
Greenwich · First Baby Due in 6 Weeks
A couple in Greenwich with a four-bedroom colonial and a full nursery setup called three weeks before their due date. They had bought an IKEA HEMNES dresser for the nursery and a KALLAX shelving unit for the living room and had not anchored either. One visit covered both, plus gate installation on the main staircase, outlet covers throughout, and magnetic cabinet locks in the kitchen. Everything was done before the baby arrived.
Darien · Baby Just Started Pulling Up
A Darien family called because their 9-month-old had just pulled their Pottery Barn console table down by grabbing the drawer handle. Nothing was broken but it was close. We anchored the console, a tall bookcase in the living room, and the dresser in the nursery, installed stair gates top and bottom, and added corner guards on the coffee table. Took three hours for a 3,800-square-foot home.
Westport · Grandparents Preparing for Visits
Grandparents in Westport whose grandchildren visit regularly wanted the home safe without making permanent changes. We installed pressure-mounted gates at room entrances, outlet covers, corner guards on the hearth, cord management on the living room blinds, and magnetic cabinet locks in the kitchen. All removable. The grandchildren are 18 months and 3 years old and the home is now appropriate for extended visits.
