Wall Nanny (4 Pack - Made in USA) Indoor Baby Gate Wall Protector - No Safety Hazard on Bottom Spindles - Small Saver Pad Saves Trim & Paint - Best Dog Pet Child Walk Thru Pressure Gates Guard (Gray)

Comes with a hole in the cup for a screw to hold the pad to a surface. I specifically purchased the product so I wouldnt have to drill a hole in my woodwork! Weird. I guess its a lawyer gimmick to avoid lawsuits in the event the buyer does not screw the pad down and an accident occurs. It seems to work just fine from static friction. My dog and cat have been unable to budge the gate.

Yes, 2 people, easy to use. These larger pads spread the pressure from the gate tension, minimizing damage to the paint/drywall. Such an obvious design improvement to the gate, surprised manufacturer hadn’t already adopted this piece. Highly recommend.

Got these to use with a pet gate. These are a perfect solution and keeps my woodwork in my newer house perfect. And bonus is that they prevent my puppy from trying to chew on the metal screws that are used as pressure tension to keep the gate in place. Wish they had these when my kiddos were little.

I love this product save my walls

I did not need this product the gate worked without it. However the seller was great and followed up to see if there was anything else they could do. Nice job wall nanny!

I had to use these to put up a gate at my office that would contain Boris and Nikita, my French Bulldogs. I had a fence of sorts but they figured out how to get around it and get to our patients. (I manage a Doctors Office). These protected the walls and made it possible to really tighten the expansion screws on the gate we got right here on Amazon. The dogs are looking at the affair and trying to figure out how to get around it but I dont think they can. They feel the need to be close to the patients as their job is to greet the patients. They both have Doctoral Degrees in Greeting Sciences from Harvard. No Kidding. Recommended when installing a door gate for children or dogs. Your chosen gate will probably come with some but they will not be as good as these are.

Ive wanted a gate for the deck to keep my dogs contained, but the railing and posts are metal. Not wanting to drill holes in my new deck posts, I had to improvise which looked horrible. I stumbled on these, what a genius invention! Installing would have been very simple with another set of hands, but I got it done. My new black metal gate looks fantastic with the deck, the wall nanny system holds the gate securely. I highly recommend!

These rock. Made my pet gates stable and actually fit. Wouldn’t buy another baby gate without them.

We have four baby gates in our house (my wife now refers to our house as a gated community), and we use wall protectors for all of them. We have been quite happy with this particular rectangular model (when used in the appropriate locations -- see below). They are easy to install, their rubber grip minimizes slippage of the gate, and they leave very little marking behind on the wall when they are removed. Wall protectors come in several different shapes and sizes, which is good because baby and pet gates can be installed in different types of locations (staircases, doorways, large walls, etc.). It is important to select the proper wall protector based on where you plan to place your gate. So... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A FEW GENERAL PRINCIPLES ABOUT WALL PROTECTORS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Wall protectors dont just protect your walls from dents and scratches; they also usually provide a better grip between the gate and the wall. This means your toddler or pet will have a harder time pushing the gate out of place (though they will still try!). 2) Almost all wall protectors will still leave a small mark on your wall, especially if its painted drywall. There are ways to minimize the mark left behind, but its probably unrealistic to expect absolutely no evidence that you had a gate installed. The protectors do, at least, help minimize the risk of DENTS in the wall. 3) A larger wall protector will generally have a lower risk of denting your wall than a smaller one because it will distribute the pressure from the gate over a larger area of the wall. 4) On the other hand, the larger the wall protector, the farther that contact point of the gate will end up being from adjacent structures like the floor. For example, with a large circular wall protector, the opening where you fit the gates tension screw is a few inches from the edge of the protector, which means the bottom of the gate will be an inch or two off the floor. Obviously having the horizontal bar at the bottom of the gates opening floating a few inches off the floor would create a tripping hazard! 5) Therefore, in general the best wall protector to use for each of your gates contact points is the one with the largest surface area that will fit into the space without displacing the gate. (Obviously Im ignoring aesthetics here...) With those principles in mind, lets consider three of the most common shapes of wall protectors for baby gates and where they might best be used: 1) Round: These wall protectors are usually 5-6 in diameter, with an opening in the center where you insert the gates tension screws. Their biggest advantage is creating less pressure on your walls due to their size (which is especially important against drywall). However, they wont fit in some places and they probably shouldnt be used against the floor, where they could prevent your gate from sitting flush against the floor. So use them on your gates upper contact points wherever you have a large wall space. 2) Rectangular: These are usually about 2 x 6. They put slightly more pressure on your walls than the large circular protectors, but they fit into places the circular ones wont. I suggest using these in two types of places: - In the horizontal orientation for ALL lower gate supports, EXCEPT in places where your horizontal wall space is only a few inches (such as the bottom of a narrow door frame). This will allow you to position the gate as close to the floor as possible. - In the vertical orientation for UPPER gate supports in a narrow door frame. 3) Square: These are typically about 2 x 2 -- in other words, not much larger than the gate support. I would use these in only one place: for the LOWER gate support at the bottom of a narrow door frame, where really nothing else would fit.
