Where can I find hardware to anchor my bookcases to the wall for safety?

Filed Under bookcases 

clearmymindplease asked:


I have 2 (tall and narrow yet very heavy) bookcases just moved to an area with extra thick carpet padding. They easily tilt back and forth with ease. I need to anchor them to the wall but how? I take it that I will need to screw conecting hardware in to the wall and bookshelves, but I do not know how to and with what hardware. Please help I do not want my kids and/or pets to get crushed accidentally!

      I would seriously go to a hardware store because man, if they can’t help you, something is wrong.

      Go to Lowes or Home Depot and get L brackets. They ae cheap and easy to install. Walmart or any hardware store will also have these.
