Blind Cord Tensioner

Blind Cord Tensioner

Blind Cord Tensioners keep blind cords at the optimum tension and secure the ends out of reach of children with the practical tensioner device. The Cord Tensioner is made from high quality plastic material that ensures ease of use and durability.

Even well-fitted blinds can pose a hidden risk: dangling cords that little ones love to tug on. A Blind Cord Tensioner keeps blind cords under constant tension and secures the ends high and out of reach, giving you one less thing to worry about during your baby proofing and child and toddler proofing journey.

Why Tensioners Matter in Baby Proofing

Blind cords can create a strangulation hazard faster than most parents realise. Installing a simple-to-use tensioner is one of the quickest ways to safeguard your windows alongside barriers such as baby safety gates or child safety gates. The high-quality plastic device grips the cord firmly, preventing slack and keeping it anchored to the wall.

Key Benefits

  • Strangulation Prevention for babies and toddlers
  • Keeps cords taut and stable at all times
  • Secures both looped and single-cord blinds
  • Durable, UL-tested plastic for long-term reliability
  • Easy one-hand installation, no special tools required

Seamless Integration with Your Baby Proofing Safety Plan

During our comprehensive Child Safety Consultation, your technician will identify all potential hazards, from kitchen cupboards to loose cords—and recommend the right mix of childproofing solutions. Often, a Blind Cord Tensioner is installed at the same time as a mesh retractable gate or a custom-made wall-mounted gate to create a fully secured play area.

Fantastic Service

Fantastic service. Mitch gives great advice on baby proofing. He opened our eyes to where we needed to baby proof and also saved us money by making sure we didn’t “over baby proof” our house. He was tidy and did a great job installing baby proofing around our house. Thanks again we will definitely refer you to our friends and family!

Greatly Appreciated

I would like to thank Mitch for his help in “Twinado” proofing our living areas. His prompt and efficient service is greatly appreciated (though not by the twins, they were less than impressed that they could no longer get into my DVD cabinets!)

Prompt & Reliable Service

I contacted First Steps Safe Steps to install safety gates. They offered an appointment 2 days later and came at the agreed time. Mitchell was able to fix all our problems on the spot and provided further advice. We choose the roller blind gates that have a slim and discreet look. Thanks so much Mitchell for the prompt and reliable service. We now have more freedom and peace of mind while caring for our little 1 year old. I definitely recommend their services.

Fantastic Experience

I had a fantastic experience with First Steps Safe Steps today…

It was SO easy…I rang Mitchell (the owner) to arrange a time, he then visited our house, assessed what was needed to ‘baby proof’, provided a quote, and then installed all requested items…all within two hours!

Mitchell was super friendly and polite, did a great job, cleaned up afterwards, and even offered to do an odd job that he noticed while there. I can’t recommend it more highly!!
