DIYbanter - View Single Post - Can you buy a strap of some kind to secure bookcase to wall thuspreventing toddler pulling it over?

Tim S

coughed up some electrons that declared:

Any suggestions?

I used a strong eye-hook (about 15mm dia eye) in both the back of the
bookcase, and into the wall, then a d-link (screwable chain link) all from
B&Q. The d-link could have been a piece of stout string or rope.

The other option is a piece of webbing strap, doubled over at the end and
screwed through, with a cup washer into the wall, and do the same into the
top of the bookcase. That's typically all the manufacturer supplied ones
are.

So, about 5 quid or less, and you should find enough bits to make what you
need in B&Q. Start with the section that sells rope and chain, and also the
section that sells screws and eye hooks.

Cheers
