Sturdy, organized closet shelving keeps items safely in place.
Lowe's has a few suggestions to make your bedroom or your children's bedrooms a safer place to be. Proper closet storage and fire safety are the number one concerns.
Fire Safety
If you can't easily reach the ground outside your window, keep an escape ladder handy in case a fire blocks your regular exit path from the house. Rope ladders do not take up much storage space and can be put into use quickly.Closet Organization
Make sure closet shelving is sturdy and organized, and that no items are in danger of falling when the closet doors are opened. Store heavy things lowest to the ground and reserve higher shelves for lighter items.Tools, products, materials, techniques, building codes and local regulations change; therefore, Lowe's assumes no liability for omissions, errors or the outcome of any project.
