QuakeHold! 4520 Universal Flat Screen TV Safety Straps, Black Nylon

Worked great

This is the best system I have found for earthquake safety with a large television, when modified. The straps on this are very sturdy (unlike many I have tried) and are long enough to allow for the television to stand out on the furniture rather than right up against the wall. I installed them to the studs in the wall behind the cabinet (for extra protection) behind the television (in the bottom fourth of the screen area if you could see through the TV) and used simple three inch metal straps, one per quakehold strap, laid across the quakehold strap when just shy of taught from the TV to the wall, so it has a tiny bit of give, and then used one and one half or two inch size ten wood screws, one through a metal strap hole into one side of the stud and one into another metal strap hole through a hole in the quakehold strap and into the stud through the wall. Before attaching the television (which I moved aside) I pulled, hard, on each strap and they were very, very strongly attached to the wall. Behind the television, in case earthquake somehow knocked it backward, I positioned two soft, cardboard boxes strategically, far enough away to hold it up without compromising sound. Unlike earthquake kits that force you to keep the television perfectly vertical and prevent any movement at all, this system allows the television to move in minor earthquakes without causing stress or damage to the metal housing (as you would see with a system that prevents any movement at all by putting stress on the metal housing where it is attached). This is safe, secure, stretchy enough to not damage the television in a minor earthquake and sturdy enough to pull it back and keep it from falling on a child or animal during a quake (but any time you screw into the back, if there is a quake strong enough to knock it off, it will damage the metal housing of your TV which doesn't matter if it saves your family). In other words, installed using metal straps to the wall, these straps are the best on the market. However, if installed as directed, like many other systems, you have no guarantees. Good luck making your decision.

This Ready America "Quake Hold" product was perfect for our flat screen tv at work. The tv sits on a high movable metal stand which is not very wide. As a result the 42" tv hangs over the sides and was somewhat unstable. Because the stand is movable we could not connect the tv to any wall so we needed some way to fix the back of the tv firmly to the stand. The safety straps that come with this product firmly adhere to the back of the tv and to the stand. The straps have a release which allows the tv to be detached from the stand if necessary. Otherwise the straps are firmly in place and the tv cannot not be knocked over should someone knock into either the tv or the stand. In other words this product does exactly what we needed and desrves a 5 star rating. The only complaint I have is the product is not available in Canada and the shipping and duty charges were more than the price of the product. However,even at that price the purchase was completely worthwhile.

Easy to install and has held up for at least 5 years. The only issue is that it's near impossible to remove without damaging the wall/tv stand/tv. So if you never have to move or upgrade your furn/tv then you should be good.

We live in San Jose, California, and we recently got a 55" Sony flat-screen TV. The Sony stand is sturdy, but you can shake the TV and cause it to topple. Earthquakes tend to do this. This product is well-designed and implemented in my opinion. There are two sturdy nylon straps, each with attachments for the TV and for the table or wall, which are intended to be semi-permanently attached. Each strap is adjustable and has a quick-release buckle, like on backpacks, which are essential in case you need to move the TV to get behind it. Two lag bolts are supplied, for anchoring in wall studs, if you so choose. Mine hasn't been tested yet in situ, but I am confident it will work well. The instructions are very clear, and installation is easy. I highly recommend this product, it is worth $25. Suggestions: after installation, tighten the straps only enough to take up slack, don't put tension on the straps, as this will tend to eventually loosen the adhesive (probably after a few years). Also, be sure to put the quake grip putty under the base of the TV, as earthquakes tend to make things hop around.

Originally bought this in 2011 for our first flat screen tv that we placed on a tv stand. We have since moved twice. Each time moving the tv was easy because the straps simply buckle and unbuckle. During this time, we had a baby who has grown into a young child who touches the tv like it’s an iPad. Never once has the tv wobbled or tipped. In 2021 we replaced our old tv. Tried to peel off the adhesive and it would not come off. Then we tried to pull apart the Velcro and that did not come off. This thing really holds! Finally we just unbuckled it and removed the tv. When we got our new tv, we repurchased the straps. After 10 years, the design has not changed so we simply attached the top straps to the back of the new tv and buckled them to the existing 10 year old straps attached to our tv stand. A note about the straps. We keep a little bit of slack on the straps. We do not tighten them as much as possible. I think that is why another reviewer broke their table. They put too much tension.

My 2 year old cat kept attempting to stand up both behind and in front of my flat screen TV… well right before Christmas she lost her balance and fell while holding onto the top of the screen and it came down with her. I was happy she didn’t get hurt, but I was NOT in the market for a new television. So, when I purchased the new TV I immediately started searching for something to secure it. When I had searched prior I couldn’t find anything where I didn’t need to drill holes in the walls, so when I came across this it really made my day! These VERY adhesive thin Velcro pads stick to the back of the TV then after you adjust the straps you stick the one Velcro end to the pads on the TV, and the metal plates with adhesive underneath stick to the surface of what the TV is on…in my case an outdated dresser. Let me tell you this TV is NOT moving! Lol I’m just so thankful to have found this product because I finally have peace of my mind that my mischievous kitty can’t cause further damage. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a no drill option for the sake of securing their TV, and the safety for both children & pets!

Got these straps to hold my 55 inch on the tv stand and away from my 4 year old boy. Straps are adjustable and seem strong. Had to use a little crazy glue to keep the straps fully attach to the tv. A small portion keep not sticking. Overall I'm really happy with this purchase and feel my son is safe from the tv fallen on him. I also screwed the tv to the tv stand as backup. Can't be too safe and every parent should have tv straps for their tv if you ask me.

Well secured. My cat has been around my tv twice and it hasn't moved. Straps are great quality. Well worth the price to keep your flat screen safe.

correct

I guess it works. Yet to be tested - not that I'm actually looking forward to testing it.

Bought to "cat-proof" my television - seems very sturdy.

very pleased with product. as advertised.
