Childproofing: cabinet locks, anchoring, gates, and covers

Outlet cover that falls out, drawer latch that breaks on day three, baby gate that mounts to trim instead of studs. Real childproofing is installed into framing, not stuck to a surface.

DIY vs. hire — which makes sense for your job

When DIY works

Adhesive cabinet locks, plug-in outlet covers, and pressure-mount stair gates are genuine DIY — no tools beyond maybe a screwdriver. These cover the most common hazards for mobile babies.

When to hire

Furniture anchoring (requires finding studs and lag bolts), hardware-mount stair gates (drilling into walls or banisters), window guards, and whole-home childproofing packages are faster and more reliable with a pro. A typical 3-bedroom childproofing visit takes 3-5 hours.

Permits, codes, and safety

No permits required for any childproofing work. Window guards in rental units may be tenant-requested under local habitability standards, but installation is straightforward and permit-free.
