No. The homeowner supplies the products. Jacob provides the installation labor and the expertise to identify where each item should go.
A full home walk-through and installation takes 2 to 4 hours depending on the number of rooms and items.
Pressure gates use tension against two walls and are fine at the bottom of stairs. Hardware gates screw into the wall and are required at the top of stairs where a falling gate would be dangerous.
Furniture straps mount to the wall stud and the furniture. Jacob locates the studs and installs the straps so they hold in a real tip-over scenario.
Magnetic locks are invisible from outside the cabinet and cannot be defeated by small fingers. Spring-latch locks are faster to open for adults. Jacob installs either type.
Most full-home installations run around $240 for labor. Larger homes or more complex installs are priced accordingly. Jacob gives an exact number after walking the space.
