Seattle, the city of coffee, clouds, and a whole lot of parenting. If you've got kids running around your place, you know that it's only a matter of time before they find something to climb, break, or stick their fingers into. It's like they have a sixth sense for danger! But don't worry, Handyman Services NW is here with our childproofing installation service to keep your little ones safe, sound, and far away from the ER.
1. Outlets: Because Tiny Fingers Will Find a Way
Outlets—they're like magnets for toddlers. You can almost see their little brains working, "What's this? Can I stick something in it?" No, little Timmy, you can't. But don't worry, Handyman Services NW has you covered. We install outlet covers and plug protectors that make sure your kids can't turn your electrical system into a science experiment. Plus, our covers are sleek and discreet, so you won't have to live with plastic protrusions all over your house.
2. Cabinets and Drawers: The Great Exploration Zone
Kids love opening and closing cabinets and drawers, and the louder they slam, the better. It's like they're auditioning for a kitchen-themed percussion band. But what's inside those cabinets? Sharp knives, cleaning supplies, and who knows what else. Handyman Services NW installs childproof latches and locks that keep those little hands out of trouble. We also offer magnetic locks for those who prefer a stealthy approach—because nothing says "cool parent" like childproofing that doesn't ruin your aesthetic.
3. Stairs: Not a Playground
Stairs are great for getting from one floor to another, but for kids, they're more like a theme park ride. "Hey, let's jump from the top and see what happens!" (Spoiler alert: it's not good.) Handyman Services NW sets up sturdy baby gates to keep your little daredevils from taking the express route downstairs. Our gates are strong enough to withstand the most determined toddler, yet easy for adults to open—no more hopping over barriers like you're in an obstacle course.
4. Furniture and TV Mounting: The Domino Effect
Kids have an uncanny ability to find the one piece of furniture that's not bolted down and pull it over. It's like they're auditioning for a role in a disaster movie. Handyman Services NW anchors your heavy furniture to the walls, ensuring that your bookshelf stays upright, even when your kid decides to practice their climbing skills. We also mount your flat-screen TVs securely, so you won't have to worry about them toppling over during the next game or binge-watching session.
5. Windows: Because Gravity Is Not Your Friend
Windows are great for letting in light and air, but they're not so great when your toddler decides to lean out and take in the view. Handyman Services NW installs window guards and safety locks to prevent your kids from getting too close to the edge. We also offer anti-strangulation cords for blinds because kids and long cords are a recipe for disaster. Our childproofing experts ensure that your windows remain safe without sacrificing functionality or style.
