Professional wardrobe anchoring - secure your wardrobes to the wall so they can't tip forward. Heavy furniture falling on a child is every parent's nightmare.
### Heavy Doesn't Mean Stable
Wardrobes look too heavy to tip. **But open doors change the weight distribution. Hanging on doors, climbing on drawers - children do these things.** Even heavy wardrobes can fall.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The heavier the wardrobe, the more dangerous when it falls. Don't assume weight means safety.

Frequently Asked Questions about Wardrobe anchoring in Ottery St Mary
Do wardrobes really tip over?
Yes - children open doors and hang on them, or climb on base drawers. The weight distribution changes and tall wardrobes can tip. They're heavy enough to cause serious injury or death.
What about very heavy wardrobes?
Heavy doesn't mean stable. The weight actually makes them more dangerous when they do fall. All freestanding wardrobes should be anchored.
Where do you anchor wardrobes?
Usually at the top, behind the cornice if there is one, into wall studs or solid masonry. Invisible when done properly.
Can flat-pack wardrobes be anchored?
Yes - most come with anchor straps that people don't fit. We ensure proper installation into solid wall.
