GRASS America Unveils Anti-Tip System for Cabinetry

Grass America has launched a new product, the Grass Rear Anti-Tip System. The solution offers a simple, efficient and lightweight method for cabinetry and furniture to comply with the 2023 STURDY Act, which aims to prevent tip-over accidents and enhance safety in accessible homes.

The system is engineered to ensure that only a single drawer can be opened at a time, locking the remaining drawers securely in place until the opened drawer is closed. The mechanical system employs a series of interconnected locking actuators mounted to a central spine at the back of the cabinet, guaranteeing a robust and reliable connection.

The system’s versatile component kit allows for a variety of mounting options, enabling custom installations. It is compatible with undermount slides, soft-close slides and drawers without slides. The system mounts in the 1 ¼ inch gap between the drawer box and the carcass. It offers flexible installation options, whether during or after cabinet fabrication, and can be used with or without the aluminum spine. The system can also be manually unlocked to allow for drawer removal if necessary and supports up to 50 pounds of pull force.
