An anti-tip bracket helps stabilize items that can shift or lean, reducing the chance they’ll tip forward under everyday use.

• Furniture: Anchors connect bookcases, dressers, and cabinets to a wall to help prevent tipping from pulling, climbing, or accidental bumps.
• Ranges/Stoves: A small bracket typically engages a rear leg or frame to help keep the appliance from tilting if weight is placed on the open oven door.
• TVs: Safety straps or brackets help secure screens to a wall or furniture for added stability.

These solutions can add an extra layer of safety in busy homes. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific product and wall type, and consider professional help if you’re unsure.

Free-standing ranges can tilt if downward force is applied to an open oven door—like when placing a heavy pot on a rack or leaning for reach. An anti-tip bracket is designed to help reduce that risk by anchoring the range to the wall or floor.

• Helps resist tipping: The bracket typically engages a rear leg or frame point.
• Works in everyday moments: Useful in busy kitchens where doors are opened often.
• Compact and out of sight: Installs behind or beneath the appliance.

For best results, review your range’s manual to confirm the correct bracket style and mounting location. If installation feels complicated, a qualified installer can help.

While exact steps vary by model, this general outline can help:

1. Read instructions: Review your range and bracket guides to confirm the mounting location.
2. Prepare safely: Let the range cool and unplug it. Carefully pull it out just enough to access the rear.
3. Position the bracket: Mark the spot on the wall or floor where the rear leg will engage, using any included template.
4. Fasten securely: Attach the bracket with the supplied hardware, ideally into a wall stud or solid floor as specified.
5. Engage the leg: Slide the range back so the rear leg locks into the bracket. Verify engagement per the instructions.

Bracket designs differ, so follow the manufacturer’s directions. If you’re unsure about tools or wall types, consider professional installation.

Skipping the bracket can increase the chance of the range shifting or tilting under certain conditions, which may lead to property damage or injury.

• Door-as-lever risk: Weight on an open oven door can create leverage that tilts an unsecured range.
• Everyday bumps: Moving, cleaning, or accidental contact may shift the appliance.
• Uneven floors: Minor settling or vibrations can make tipping more likely without added support.

An anti-tip bracket is a small, out-of-sight safety add-on that can help stabilize the appliance. For guidance, check your range’s manual and consider a trained installer if needed.

Match the anchor to your furniture size, weight, and wall type for the best fit.

• Heavy dressers/bookcases: Consider metal brackets or straps mounted into wall studs for added strength.
• Lighter pieces or rentals: No-drill adhesive anchors may be an option on smooth surfaces, but holding power can vary by wall and load.
• Wall type matters: Drywall, plaster, or masonry walls may require different hardware.
• Adjustability: Look for straps with adjustable length and adequate quantity for wider units.
• TVs and cabinets: Use anchors designed for electronics or specific furniture styles.

Check product pages for compatibility details and included hardware, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and consider a pro if you’re unsure about your wall construction.
