Professional fireguard fitting - secure your fireguard to the wall so it can't be pulled over. Children are drawn to flames and fireguards only work if they can't be moved.
### Flames Fascinate Children
Fire is mesmerising. **Children reach for flames, touch hot glass, grab burning logs.** A fireguard is essential - but only if it's anchored so they can't pull it over.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Freestanding fireguards are a false sense of security. A determined toddler will pull them over. Wall-mounted is the only way.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fireguard fitting in Newton Abbot
Why anchor a fireguard to the wall?
Freestanding fireguards can be pulled over by children - defeating the purpose. Wall-anchored guards stay put no matter what. That's the whole point.
Will it damage my wall?
Small screw holes that can be filled later. Compare that to the alternative - a child with burns. Easy decision.
Can I still use the fire with the guard up?
Yes - adults can step over or unlatch the guard. Children can't. That's the design intent.
What about log burners?
Same principle - the whole unit gets hot, children grab things. A guard keeps them back from the entire hot zone, not just the door.
