How long will your product last on my furniture/unit?
When it is installed correctly, it will last a very long time! Typically, this concern comes from our use of adhesive based fasteners. However, this is not the glue or tape you used in art class. Originally created to hold large panes of glass into skyscrapers, this viscoelastic adhesive is highly engineered and tested 3M™ VHB™ Tape. 3M™ Company, with which we work closely, has done temperature, UV, aging and pull testing, and more on their product and found the bond actually gets stronger overtime. We are confident that our product will last many earthquakes if applied correctly.

Won’t the adhesive pad fall off?
Not if applied correctly and on the right surfaces! (Watch our installation How-To videos here.)
Make sure to follow all installation instructions which can be found in the “Download” section of the product description on your products page: Installation Instruction 1 and Installation Instructions 2.
Some common surfaces which fasteners work well on include but is not limited to: steel, aluminum, glass, and most furniture veneers and painted woods. For more information: Applying 3M™ VHB™ Tapes | 3M™

Can I get my order overnight?
Many of SAFE-T-PROOF™’s products are assembled and packaged to order. For this reason, we cannot guarantee UPS Next Day Air® or UPS Next Day Air® Early for orders made after 12pm PST. Though we will often get them out to UPS by the end of the business day allowing for next day delivery, this may not be possible due to the size and complexity of the order or the quantity of other shipments being made that day. We appreciate your understanding and please feel free to reach out with any questions.
