Ready America is a great American success story that began in our garage in 1991 with one product and a desire to create a solution to keep precious keepsakes being lost from earthquakes and accidents.
That initial temporary adhesive was the first product that spawned a complete range of earthquake safety fasteners for the home and office, including furniture and appliance straps to secure big-ticket items such as entertainment centers, china cabinets and wall units. Flat screens and DVD players can also be secured in place with the fasteners. Two more temporary adhesives, Clear Gel and Museum Wax, used for securing glass breakables and other collectibles, were introduced a short time later, after which Emergency LightSticks were added to the mix, Now, Ready America, as the parent corporation now has over 1,000 unique safety products.
Our safety straps and temporary adhesives are merchandised in California, Washington and Hawaii through hardware stores and home improvement centers including the Home Depot, Lowe’s and Outdoor Supply Hardware, while the safety Light Sticks are sold nationally through the Home Depot and Lowe’s. QuakeHold! Products can also be easily purchased on-line at Amazon and many other locations.
Ready America’s line of safety fasteners represents an inexpensive form of insurance for people wanting to safeguard their possessions.
As a result of sustained growth, Ready America relocated its headquarters from Monrovia, CA, to San Marcos, CA, in 1999. By 2005, the company’s ongoing growth again resulted in expansion and we purchased a new 11,000 square foot building in the neighboring city of Escondido, CA. Now we occupy several industrial buildings in Vista, California with over 50,000 square feet.
In summary, Ready America’s mission is to help the community be prepared. QuakeHold! Has been a huge part of that success for millions of families.

I love my cats dearly but they're fuzzy little cannon balls most days. They broke a favorite vase, multiple flower pots, 2 lamps, and multiple candles and tchotchkes in the first year I had them. When they nearly broke my favorite blown glass lamp, a friend recommended this putty.

Works exactly as stated. I have 2 cats and Quakhold helps keep things from being knocked over. Thank you!!!!

Quakehold was made exactly for our requirements. We use this putty to hold objects in place aboard our boat. It’s used mainly for medium sized vases or ornaments which never move once set I’m place. There are no greasy marks left on any of the objects or surfaces once it’s removed.

I use this to keep my decorative pieces in place when we’re traveling in our RV. It works like a charm and saves me time and trouble when setting up after arriving at our campsite!
