FURNITURE TIPPING RESTRAINT
WARNING: This product is only a deterrent. It is not a substitute for proper adult supervision. Manufacturer
assumes no liability for improper installation or excessive loads placed on screws, brackets or straps.
Young children may be injured by tipping furniture and the use of a tipping restraint is highly recommended.
When properly installed, this restraint will provide protection against tipping of furniture. This tipping restraint
MUST be secured to a wall‐stud or wall structure of similar strength.
Hardware included:
(2) Brackets (1) Nylon Strap
(2) Long Stud Mounting Screws (2) Short Furniture‐Side Mounting Screws
Note: For safe mounting it is essential to use the proper hardware for your wall type. The included hardware is for
drywall or stud mounting only. For other wall types (e.g., plaster, concrete and brick) please consult your local
hardware store for fastener advice.
To install:
1) LOCATING THE STUDS: Use a stud finder to locate the vertical wooden studs within your wall located behind the
final position of the furniture item. Mark the stud locations with a light pencil‐mark.
2) MOUNTING THE FURNITURE‐SIDE BRACKET: Move the furniture item close to the wall to its final position. Use
pieces of tape or a pencil to transcribe the stud locations of the wall onto the furniture item. Move the furniture
item again so you can access its back and use the marks to locate a suitable mounting point for the furniture‐side
bracket. Make sure that the bracket is secured to a firm portion of the furniture frame and as high as possible.
Remember: The furniture‐side bracket must be positioned near a wall stud. Using a pencil, and the bracket as a
guide, mark "screw marks" on the furniture item through the bracket holes.
Use a 3/32" drill bit to drill pilot holes into the furniture item at the "screw marks". Use the TWO Short screws to
secure the furniture‐side bracket. This bracket can be positioned either vertically or horizontal as necessary (See
Figure 1).
3) MOUNTING THE WALL‐SIDE BRACKET: Position the wall‐side bracket along the selected stud mark so that it will
be adjacent the furniture‐side bracket when the furniture item is moved to its final position. The wall‐side bracket
should be about ONE inch lower than the furniture‐side bracket (See Figure 3). Use the TWO Long screws to secure
the wall‐side bracket to the wall. Remember to position the wall‐side bracket vertically so that both screws will
engage the selected wall stud (See Figure 2).
4) ATTACHING THE STRAP: When both brackets are securely attached, move the furniture to its final desired
position and thread the strap through the openings of each bracket and also through the ratcheting "buckle".
Tighten the strap until several "clicks" are heard. The furniture item is now securely tethered to the wall.
Note: If you must move the furniture item, you can release the strap by depressing the lever arm located at its
buckle and simultaneously withdrawing the strap from the buckle. Make sure to reconnect the strap once the
furniture item is returned to its previous position.
