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)

These really do a great job protecting your walls. Very easy to install. Bought a second set.

I did not think that I would actually need to use these...luckily, I found it necessary as the gate was at its max opening for usage. These wall nanny(s) came in handy to not only better secure the gate, but also were high quality made. It allows for a larger footprint of coverage on the drywall. As I am not sure there is a stud behind it. I feel confident in the stability it has provided and the fact that when I eventually remove the gate, there will be no indentions in the drywall surface. For that alone I highly recommend using these handy pads! -Ray

The baby gate was easy to install, it’s very sturdy, I like the safety aspects of it. I would recommend it!

Keeps our granddaughter safe and doesnt remove paint from our walls.

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

The Wall Nanny works wonders with my pressure mounted baby gate! Easy to install; rectangular shape allows for mounting horizontally or vertically, depending on the size of the doorway/opening placing a gate. I am going to purchase another set for an additional gate install.

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.

Excellent!

I got gates so my niece and nephew could visit without worry of them stumbling somewhere unsupervised. It protects my walls and secures the gate against rowdy kids. I recommend these!

In the past I always had to use screws to attach my pet gates to the wall as pressure wasnt ever enough. Now, as I moved to a rental I didnt want to break the wall so I tried a pressure gate once more and, as expected it didnt stay in place. So I looked for options and found Wall Nanny. I was skeptical but decided to give it a try - and I am glad I did! It did solve my problem and keeps my gate in place! Really good!
