Professional TV anchor fitting - prevent your television from tipping forward onto children. TVs are heavy, screens shatter, and children reach for them. Anchoring prevents disaster.
TVs Are Heavier Than They Look
Modern flat-screens look light, but a falling TV can seriously injure or kill a child. Children pull on TVs to reach, or climb furniture to see them. Anchoring prevents tip-overs.
💡 Pro tip: If you're not ready to wall-mount, anchor straps are a quick, cheap alternative that could save your child's life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does TV anchoring work?
Straps or brackets attach the TV to either the wall behind or the furniture it sits on. If pulled or pushed, it can't tip forward. Simple but effective.
Can all TVs be anchored?
Most modern TVs have anchor points on the back. Very old or unusual models may need different approaches. We'll check and advise.
Wall mount vs anchor straps - which is better?
Wall mounting is more secure overall, but costs more. Anchor straps are cheaper, quick to fit, and prevent tip-overs effectively. Both are better than nothing.
Do I need to anchor a wall-mounted TV?
If it's properly wall-mounted, no - it can't tip. Anchoring is for TVs standing on furniture.
