Professional bookcase wall anchoring - securing freestanding bookcases to the wall so they can't be pulled or climbed over. Essential child safety, simple fix.
### The Climb They Didn't Tell You About
Children climb. They pull on shelves. They use bookcase edges as ladder rungs. **An unanchored bookcase can topple in seconds** - the weight crushes small bodies.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Anchor ALL tall furniture - bookcases, dressers, wardrobes, TVs on stands. If a child could pull it over, secure it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bookcase wall anchoring in Dawlish
Why is this necessary?
Furniture tip-over kills and seriously injures children every year. Children climb, pull, and use furniture as ladders. An unanchored bookcase can topple in seconds.
Will it damage my wall?
Small screw holes that can be filled if you move the furniture. The alternative - a child crushed under a bookcase - doesn't bear thinking about.
What about rental properties?
Most landlords allow safety fixtures. The holes are small and easily filled. Your child's safety comes first.
Do IKEA furniture straps work?
Better than nothing, but they're designed for their specific furniture. We use appropriate fixings for your exact bookcase and wall type.
