Hangman Anti-Tip Kit to Prevent Furniture Falling-Steel (TK-400-2)

I bought these to secure our IKEA Billy bookshelves in my kids’ play area, and I’m really glad I did.The anchors that come with the Billy shelves attach at the top and are visible, which would’ve drove me crazy to look at. They also didn’t feel as secure as I would have liked, especially with tall, narrow bookshelves in a space where kids are playing.These were a much better option. Once the cabinets are in place, they aren’t visible at all, which gives a much cleaner, more seamless look compared to the original anchors.I was able to install them myself at 32 weeks pregnant without any issues, so I’d say they’re very user-friendly.One thing to note: the Billy shelves are tall and relatively narrow, so they can still have a little movement if the cable isn’t pulled tight enough. I initially left a bit of slack, and the shelves would shift slightly.If you’re using these on similar furniture, I’d recommend:• positioning the anchors carefully• pulling the cable as taut as possibleOnce adjusted properly, they feel much more secure and stable.Overall, a great upgrade from the standard anchors — especially if you care about both safety and visibility.

Some things aren’t worth cheeping out on and this was one of them. I feel confident with my 2 year old that these won’t be the failure point for our larger furniture falling.

With a baby on the way we decided it was time to start baby-proofing the house, because sooner or later there's a lot of furniture that can pose a tip hazard to youngsters.There are various products on the market from the cheap plastic brackets that often come with flat pack furniture, to various other systems. But I had this vision of something that was easy to install, tough, stylish, and easy to remove if needed. And as luck would have it, this product existed that frankly was just what I was looking for.Locate a stud and screw on piece to the stud. Screw another piece to the furniture and attach the two with a small steel cable. The attachment mechanism is a thick metal pin and safety clip. Really so easy to install.Personally, I have a specific screw I like to use around the house that goes in and holds well (Spax). So used that going into the stud (you are probably going to want a stud finder to do this right). The supplied screws attached well to the furniture.When ordering, check the prices because they often have better pricing for buying more than one, but not always in a logical way. So a four pack is sometimes better value (lower cost per unit) than say a six pack. So check the math before selecting which has the best deal going.

You wont need metal to hold up a set of shelves that tip if you install the anti tip hardware properly, but it also wont suffer to deformation and possible failure like some of the cheaper models reviewers have said.The installation was quite easy. I removed the drawers, measured the height, drilled a hole (if needed) into the back of the shelves, installed the two screws into the wall anchor with a screw gun, put in the chord and pins to BOTH anchors, and finally attached the second anchor to the inside on the drawers without any slack. *Make sure your anchor is secured in solid wood that is as thick as stipulated in the instructions.The pin system is a life saver. I have one anti tip system that is plastic zip ties, and to move those shelves if something falls under or behind I would have to cup the zip ties. With this, I just un pin one side and it's mobile, then pin it back in when I'm done.Given the price, I am extremely satisfied and would buy these again.

After hearing my 2 year old tried climbing the dresser, I had to find some to secure the dresser to the wall. Based on reviews I selected this product from the many similar products out there. After finding the stud and deciding where in the dresser to anchor this to, it's very simple to install. Just 4 screws and insert pins, you're done. Cable is long enough you can slide furniture out and get to the pin easily. I am ordering a second one as I feel this dresser is every bit of 300 lbs and its literally just 2 small screws into the back of the dresser. It says it's tested upto 400lbs but this might be the situation where more is better. I feel two will definitely do the trick, but I am overly cautious on things like this so it might not be necessary. All of the pieces seem to be made well and likely able to perform as claimed, but something about two small screws in a strip of wood doesn't sit well with me.

Be sure and install in studs!

Love this product! It took me about 5-10 minutes to install one to each piece of furniture and I had my whole house done in one evening. This product is strong and as long as you screw into a stud and a sturdy part of your furniture, you should have nothing to worry about. I did drill through the back of my furniture to anchor to the inside (recommended on instructions). I tested each piece out and it held with no problems! All of the kits had the pieces needed so you just need your power drill, screw driver, and a flashlight to see inside your furniture. It's also very easy to take out the pin in case you need to move something to get behind it or clean. I recommend this to anyone who has young children, earthquakes, breakables, or top heavy furniture! I can finally rest easy knowing my toddler can't knock over a dresser! Worth every penny to have peace of mind.

I bought one of these anti-tip kits to secure a tall bookcase to the wall. I like the fact that you only need one cable to secure up to 400lbs of furniture, and that the flexibility in the cable means you don't have to be as precise in your installation as with, say, an angle bracket. It also allows you to move the furniture a tiny amount without disconnecting the cable. You can also position the wall bracket below the top of furniture to help hide it from view, and you can easily disconnect the cable if you need to move the furniture to a new location.Three caveats: First, as one reviewer points out, the cable is only about 4 inches long; the picture is deceiving. So your furniture needs to be close to the wall. I think the reason for this is to limit how far the furniture can tip before the cable catches it. Second, the bracket that attaches to the furniture needs to attach to either solid wood or thick particle board; I'd suggest at least 1" thick minimum. And if attaching to particle board, you have to attach to the wide, flat side, not the narrower "edge" of the board. The instructions are very specific about that. Third, the wall bracket needs to mount directly to a stud. You could use strong toggle bolts as one reviewer mentions, but that will limit your protection to the strength of the toggle bolts. Please don't use hollow wall anchors - they aren't strong enough.

Great anchors (I have re-purchased 5 times now), very easy to install (if you can find a stud).Please, please purchase this or another similar product. Life can change in an unexpected second, better safe than sorry. I have purchased this for our living room and both of our children's bedrooms. It is peace of mind and they are pretty strong. I have forgotten they are there and tried to move the dresser, did not get anywhere with these installed.

Caro pero muy bueno

Great product, looks good and easy to install. My only tiny gripe would be that it would be nice if they had included wall plugs for masonry walls as I had to go hunting at Wickes. NBD, though. Better than IKEA brackets. My top tip is not to install the securing plates directly opposite each other, as they will clash when you put your furniture back against the wall. D'oh!

This item, is just as described. Easy to read and follow instructions. Works very well. Happy to buy again.

Holding up 72'' high x 50'' wide etagere style book shelfs. I have one anchor and appears sturdy enough to hold it up in the event it may tip. Hardware appears very sturdy and installation was easy. Better than the plastic sets. Will order more in the future as needed.
