Creating safer homes together

Creating Safer Homes Together

We all want our homes to be a safe place. When we work together, we can reduce the risk of accidents.​

We all want our homes to be a safe place. IKEA can help you prevent accidents at home. Please work with us to make your home a safer place.
Secure furniture to the wall can effectively prevent furniture tip-over accidents. We urge you to inspect your IKEA chests of drawers and dressers to ensure that they are securely anchored to the wall using the restraints provided in the packaging.

If you need a replacement restraint kit to secure the IKEA furniture in your home, please contact our customer service counter where you made your purchase to get a free kit.

Secure furniture to ensure safety

  • Secure it to the wall! Furniture taller than 75 cm (children's furniture taller than 60 cm) must be anchored to the wall.
  • Use the tip-over restraint provided with the product and the proper hardware for your wall type to secure your furniture to the wall.
  • Never put a TV or other heavy objects on top of a chest of drawers or any furniture not intended for use with a TV.
  • Place heavy objects in the lowest drawers.
  • Never let children climb or hang on drawers, doors or shelves.

Terms & conditions

  • Note that for wall mounting area that is higher than 3 meters, IKEA cannot provide wall mounting services. Please prepare climbing tool at home and mark the water pipe or electric wires near the wall mounting area (we cannot apply wall mounting directly on these area).
  • If you have provided the positions of water, electricity and gas pipelines, but water, electricity or gas leaks occur due to the incorrect positions provided during the drilling process, neither IKEA nor the TSP shall bear any responsibility. Before the wall-mounting service is carried out, you will be required to sign the wall-mounting confirmation form.
  • Once the TSP confirms that the wall is suitable for the wall-mounting service, the TSP will obtain written confirmation and signature confirmation from you. Only then will the operations of wall mounting / anchoring be performed. We will use special bolts for hollow wall and normal expansion bolts for solid walls.
  • Please be noted that you should not place overly heavy objects in the wall-mounted cabinet. The load-bearing capacity of the internal partition boards publicized for the wall-mounted cabinet products is determined based on the wall mounting on solid walls. When it comes to wall mounting on hollow walls, depending on different types of hollow walls and different screw positions, the load-bearing weight will be reduced accordingly. Therefore, you cannot directly refer to the load-bearing values in the product information.
  • The load-bearing capacity of the wall-mounting fixing screws, frames and the product itself is limited. In case a wall-mounted frame or wall-mounted cabinet used for wall mounting falls down due to carrying items that exceed the product's load-bearing capacity, neither IKEA nor the carrier shall bear any responsibility.


1.How can I know what kind of wall I have?​
You can consult your property management company or your real estate developer. TSP will also conduct simple wall inspections for you when the assembly service is booked. If the wall evaluation shows the wall condition is ok, then the wall-mounting service will be provided for you. If the result of the wall assessment shows that it is not suitable for wall mounting, we will handle the return for you.​

2.Can I still ask for wall mounting services for walls not listed above?​​
IKEA cares about you and your family’s safety. We do not provide wall mounting services to walls & material not listed above. You can consult local wall material testing institution and get professional advice.​
​
13. Which products provide free “Secure-it” wall anchoring service?​
For cabinets with a height exceeding 75 cm (for children's furniture, exceeding 60 cm), if you have booked the assembly service, the TSP will, by default, provide wall anchoring for solid walls. For hollow walls, it still needs on-site evaluation. If you voluntarily gives up this service, you need to confirm and sign at the bottom of the confirmation form. ​​

Wall Drilling Tool Recommendation

IKEA offers the TRIXIG tool set, which includes a combination of screws and wall plugs (175 pieces) for wall mounting. Various other sets are also available for purchase as needed.

A safe sleeping environment for babies

Tip 1: Keep your baby sleeping on his/her back. It is not recommended to let your baby sleep on his/her stomach to avoid pressure on the breathing.

Tip 2: Be sure to remove any unnecessary items in the cot, such as extra bedding, toys, soft toys and others, since these items may hinder your baby's breathing.

Tip 3: Make sure your baby sleeps in the cot. It is not recommended to let babies sleep with adults because adult beds have sheets, duvets and other fluffy fabrics, which may hinder the baby's normal breathing function.

Tip 4: The temperature of babies is higher than that of children and adults, so a sleeping bag is enough to keep them warm, which also avoids fabrics that might cover the face. Make sure to expose the baby's arms so that he can move freely.
