Childproofing Installation at Home — Safety Fittings Fitted by Verified Pros
Childproofing installation covers fitting safety locks on cabinets and drawers, securing furniture to walls, installing stair gates, adding corner and edge guards, and attaching socket covers and door-finger guards throughout your home. On Borigandee, describe the fittings you need, compare quotes from ID-verified handymen near you, and pay only once the work is done and you approve it.
What's covered
A pro can quote for any combination of the following. Tell them exactly what you need when you describe your job — the more detail you give, the more accurate your quote.
- Cabinet and drawer locks (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom)
- Electrical outlet covers and socket plates
- Corner and edge guards on furniture, countertops, and hearths
- Stair gates and safety barriers (freestanding or wall-mounted)
- Door-knob covers, door pinch-guards, and door stoppers
- Window restrictors and balcony safety netting (where permitted by your building)
- Anti-tip brackets for furniture and flat-panel TVs
- Toilet locks and bathroom safety fittings
- Cord and blind-pull shorteners or anchors
- Safety latches on appliances and lower-level storage
Typically outside this scope — needs a separate quote or specialist:
- Structural alterations to walls, floors, or balcony railings
- Electrical rewiring or replacing outlets (requires a licensed electrician)
- Supply of safety products and fittings not already on-site (some pros can source; confirm in your quote)
- Landlord-consent items in a rented condo — check with your building before booking
How Borigandee works
- Describe your job. Tell us your home type, the rooms involved, the fittings you already have or need sourced, and any specific concerns — a crawling baby is a different brief from a curious two-year-old who can open doors.
- Get up to five quotes from verified pros. Handymen on Borigandee who do child safety fittings will send you their quotes. You can ask questions and compare before deciding.
- Compare and book. Look at the price, the pro's tier, their ratings, and what each quote includes. Book the one that fits.
- Payment is held safely until you approve, then the pro is paid the same day. Your payment is held securely for the duration of the job and released to the pro only once you confirm the work is done. The pro is paid that same day — no waiting around.
Verified pros, real trust
Every handyman on Borigandee is ID-verified before they can take bookings. That is the baseline, and it applies to every pro on the platform.
Beyond that, verification deepens by tier. Reference checked pros (Bronze and above) have had their professional references confirmed. At the highest tier, Background checked pros have passed a criminal-record check — a real police-level screen, not a self-declaration.
You can see each pro's verification badges on their profile before you book. If you are inviting someone into a home with young children, those badges matter.
If something is not right after the job: because your payment is held until you approve the work, you are not in a position where you have already paid and have no options. Our dispute process handles situations where the outcome is unclear or disputed — the resolution can be a full release, a partial release, or a refund, depending on the circumstances. Describe the issue and we will work through it.
How pricing works
Childproofing installation is quoted per job. That means the pro assesses what you need — the number of fittings, the rooms, whether any items need drilling into walls or cabinetry, the time involved — and gives you a price for the whole job.
There is no haggling and no surprises after the fact. The quote you see is the number you pay. If the scope changes once the pro is on-site — say you decide to add a room or swap a fitting type — a good pro will tell you what that means for the price before doing the extra work.
If you are fitting out a larger home or want a staged approach (one visit per room, or fitting out as your child grows), you can describe that in your job brief and ask for quotes that reflect it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do quotes and booking work?
You describe your job — the rooms, the fittings, any brands or products you already have — and up to five handymen send you quotes. There is no obligation to accept any of them. Once you pick a pro and confirm the booking, you pay into the held-payment system and the job is scheduled. You are not committed until you choose to book.
Is my payment safe?
Yes. Your payment is held safely and is not released to the pro until you approve the finished work. The pro is paid the same day you confirm — so the incentive runs both ways. Neither side is left waiting or exposed.
What if I am not happy with how the job was done?
Because your payment has not been released yet, you are not starting from zero. Contact Borigandee and describe what the issue is. Our dispute process will look at the situation and determine the right resolution — full release to the pro, a partial payment, or a refund to you. We handle it case by case.
How do I know the pro is trustworthy to be in my home?
Every pro is ID-verified. Higher-tier pros are also Reference checked or Background checked. You can see which badges a pro holds on their profile before you book. If you want specifically a Background checked pro — which involves a criminal-record screen — filter or look for that badge. You are not choosing blindly.
Do pros supply the safety products, or do I need to buy them first?
This varies by pro and by what you need. Some handymen can source and supply common childproofing items as part of the job; others prefer to fit products you have already purchased. Mention in your brief whether you have items ready or need the pro to supply them — the quotes will reflect that difference. If you have specific brands in mind (for example, products your paediatrician recommended), note those too.
Can I schedule childproofing visits as my child grows?
Absolutely. A home that is safe for a newborn is a different home from one that needs to hold up against a toddler who can climb. Many parents book an initial safety fitting when a child starts crawling, then return when walking and climbing begin. You can describe a phased brief when you post your job, or simply post a new job at each stage.
