L Brackets are a durable and strong option for heavy furniture such as a bookcase, mirror, chest of drawer, hall table or any piece of furniture that may tip or be easily pulled over. The L Bracket is drilled into the furniture and the wall. It comes in all different sizes to adapt to the size and shape of furniture.
Prevent Serious Injuries with Proper Furniture Anchoring
Heavy furniture tipping is one of the most serious yet preventable hazards in homes with babies and toddlers. Items like bookcases, tallboys, mirrors, and hall tables can become unstable climbing risks or fall hazards—especially as children start to pull themselves up or explore independently.
At First Steps Safe Steps, we supply and install high-quality L Brackets that are designed to secure furniture to the wall, reducing the risk of tip-overs and protecting your child from potentially devastating injuries.
Strong, Discreet, and Built for Real-World Use
Our L Brackets are built for strength and versatility:
- Made from durable metal with high load capacity
- Installed by drilling into both the furniture and the wall for maximum stability
- Available in multiple sizes to suit different furniture heights, depths, and mounting points
- Compatible with a variety of materials including timber, plasterboard, and masonry
They are ideal for anchoring:
- Bookcases and shelving units
- Chests of drawers and tallboys

- Hall tables, mirrors, and display cabinets
Why Furniture Anchoring Matters
Children are naturally curious—and as they begin climbing or reaching for toys, unsecured furniture can easily tip over. A secured item doesn’t just protect your child; it also preserves the stability of your furniture and the layout of your space.
Many injuries occur in just seconds—while a parent is only a few steps away. L Brackets offer a low-cost, high-impact safety upgrade that can make a life-saving difference.
Professional Installation for Peace of Mind
Installing an L Bracket isn’t just about drilling into a wall, it’s about knowing where and how to fasten it so it holds in real-world conditions. We’ll identify secure anchor points in your wall, select the correct size and type of bracket for your furniture, and install everything to child safety standards.
We also ensure the bracket is placed out of sight whenever possible, preserving your home’s appearance while enhancing safety.
