FAQs
What is the weight capacity of this anti-tip kit?
The Hangman Anti-Tip Kit is designed to hold up to 400 pounds, making it suitable for most standard furniture items, file cabinets, and mirrors.
What materials is the anti-tip kit made from?
The kit is constructed from high-grade galvanized aircraft steel cable and steel components, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.
Is this kit suitable for all types of walls?
The kit is designed to attach to a wall stud for maximum security. While wall anchors for other wall types (like drywall) can be used, securing to a stud is the most reliable method.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Installation typically requires basic tools such as a screwdriver, a drill, and potentially a stud finder. Specific hardware for wall attachment may vary depending on your wall type.
How many anti-tip kits do I need for one piece of furniture?
One kit provides one anchoring point. For larger or heavier pieces of furniture, or for maximum security, using two kits on opposite sides of the furniture may be recommended.
Is the cable adjustable?
Yes, the cable assembly allows for adjustment to ensure minimal slack once installed, keeping the furniture securely close to the wall.
Troubleshooting
Cable feels loose after installation
Re-tighten the cable attachment points on both the furniture and the wall. Ensure the wall anchor is securely fastened into a solid stud. If the wall anchor is not into a stud, it may not hold the weight effectively.
Difficulty finding a wall stud
Use a stud finder tool to locate the center of a wall stud. If a stud cannot be located, consider using heavy-duty wall anchors appropriate for your wall type (e.g., toggle bolts for drywall), but a stud is always recommended for maximum security.
Furniture still tips slightly
Ensure the cable is adjusted to be as taut as possible without pulling the furniture away from the wall. Check that both anchor points are strong and properly secured. For very heavy or unstable furniture, consider using two anti-tip kits for added security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Attach the other end of the cable assembly to the wall stud using the appropriate wall anchor (ensure the wall anchor is suitable for your wall type – e.g., drywall, plaster, wood).

Compatibility:
This kit is compatible with most standard furniture, file cabinets, and large mirrors. It is designed to attach to solid furniture and a wall stud for maximum security. Ensure your furniture has a suitable attachment point and your wall has a detectable stud. The kit's 400lb capacity makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Care:
Due to the high-grade galvanized steel construction, the Hangman Anti-Tip Kit requires minimal care. Periodically inspect the cable and attachment points for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening. Wipe the components with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
