Baseboard radiator covers
Hello, all,
I have baseboard radiators in my house (Gas/HW heating). My toddler is constantly popping them off by crashing cars, etc into them. (The covers look exactly like the "Ugly Heaters" images on this website's homepage: http://www.go-overboard.com/index.htm) So I'm looking for radiator covers that are more permanent and child- safe (i.e. cannot be popped open without a screw driver or considerable dexterity of an adult). Would anyone have any recomendations? Anything that can be bought at HomeDepot or Lowes? I found a bunch of products online (for example: http://www.go-overboard.com/index.htm ), and ads look great, but I'm not sure if that's exactly what is needed. Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you very much! Elana |

Thank you very much! Elana Go to this web site, get the company's phone number, and call them. They should be able to offer some advice. www.slantfin.com My childhood home (1960s) had their radiators. I remember my father cursing up a storm trying to get them OFF occasionally, so they must've been pretty well attached. |

Thank you very much! Elana Go to a real hardware store or a sheet metal shop and obtain some "tek" screws, these are self drilling self tapping sheet metal screws that go in when you spin them with drill that has the appropriate screwdriver bit. They unscrew just like any other screw if the need arises Apply them where the sheet metal overlaps. |
