FAQs
What is the weight limit of this anti-tip kit?
The Hangman Anti-Tip Strap Kit can hold up to 180kg (400lbs), providing robust support for most heavy furniture.
Is this kit suitable for all types of furniture?
Yes, it is designed to be versatile and can be used with most furniture items like dressers, bookshelves, cabinets, and TV stands, provided there's a secure mounting point on both the furniture and the wall.
Do I need special tools to install this kit?
Basic household tools are typically required, such as a drill, screwdriver, and potentially a stud finder. All necessary mounting hardware is usually included.
How do I ensure the installation is secure?
The most critical step is anchoring the strap to a solid wall stud. Using drywall anchors alone is not recommended for maximum safety.
Can this kit prevent a child from climbing furniture?
While it significantly helps prevent furniture from tipping over, it is not designed as a climbing deterrent. Adult supervision remains essential.
What material is the cable made of?
The cable is made from high-grade galvanized aircraft steel, known for its strength and resistance to corrosion.
How often should I check the anti-tip strap?
It is recommended to check the strap and its anchor points periodically, at least every six months, to ensure they remain secure and show no signs of wear.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels loose after installation.
Ensure you have tightened all screws securely. Re-check that the wall anchor is firmly in a stud and not just drywall. Adjust the strap for optimal tension.
Hardware seems insufficient for my furniture type.
This kit is designed for standard furniture. For very heavy or unusually constructed items, consult a hardware professional for additional support options.
Difficulty locating a wall stud.
Use a stud finder tool or tap on the wall and listen for a solid sound, indicating a stud. Alternatively, consult a home improvement guide or professional for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Locate Stud: Identify a wall stud behind the furniture you wish to secure. This is crucial for a secure anchor point.
- Attach to Furniture: Secure one end of the strap to the back of the furniture using the provided hardware. Ensure it is attached to a solid part of the furniture frame.
- Attach to Wall: Secure the other end of the strap to the wall stud using appropriate hardware (screws into studs are typically recommended and may be included).
- Adjust Tension: Ensure the strap is taut but allows the furniture to sit flush against the wall if desired.
Compatibility:
This anti-tip kit is compatible with most types of furniture, including dressers, bookshelves, cabinets, and TV stands. It requires a solid anchoring point on both the furniture and the wall (preferably a wall stud).
Care:
- Periodically check the strap and attachment points for any signs of wear or loosening.
- Clean the strap with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
