Wall Nanny Extender 4 Inch Baby Gate Extension (Made in USA) Extends Pressure Mounted Gates, Protects Walls, Stabilizes Gate - for Child Pet & Dog Gates - Works on Stairs, Protector (4 Pack) Black

These are nice and sturdy. I was disappointed though that they didn’t come with the screws needed to install them. I guess I just assumed they did. Normally it wouldn’t matter, but you need quite a long screw - certainly 2.5”, ideally longer. That’s not a size I would typically keep so I couldn’t set up the gate without a run to the hardware store. So if you purchase make sure you have some long screws on hand.

The Nanny extenders work well with our baby gate - so far no marks on the walls and they are holding firmly. Wish there were different lengths to chose from as one of our gates has the base on one side on the base board and on the other side under a kitchen cabinet. We had to add blocks of wood to bring the surface out to meet the Nanny Extender. If you are using a gate for a puppy - the extenders do extend the actual size of opening your gate will fit.....but the result is a larger than normal opening between the wall and the actual gate.....so our puppy quickly discovered access to where she wasnt supposed to go....but in a few weeks shell be too big to fit through, so just a learning lesson for us.

We had a smooth wood passageway that our gate kept moving no matter how tight we made it. This instantly resolved the issue. We also used this on a wall papered wall and so far it had not damaged the paper and has not moved around.

Bought a gate for my hallway and didn’t realize how wide the opening was. I had to set the extenders to as far as they’d go, which made the gate was very unstable. I thought I was going to have to mess around with trying to return it, but then came across these extenders. Adding them was super easy and now the gate is secure, no damage to my walls, and I don’t have to return it!

Fast and easy installation

Our baby gate was never secured to the walls properly as tightening it only led to the screw bulging the end cap to create a more centralized pressure point than the intent of the whole end disc. It kept moving around slightly if we bumped it or our daughter pulled on it. You could clearly see the damage to the walls and the indicator on the gate was never fully green, meaning it was never quite installed at proper tension. These extenders have solved our problem! The extra distance from the wall also eliminated our need for a gate extension, making it even more secure. They have no real installation as they are held up by the pressure of the gate (just put them between the gate and the wall), but using them made the gate installation easier than even the first time we put it up. The wide base provides the proper tension without any more damage to our walls, and there has been zero movement at any of the 4 pressure points. Definitely buy these when you buy your baby gate. Dont wait like we did and save your walls!

Works great. Exactly as described.

I love these new extension Wall Nannys! Ok... so I run a dog rescue. We have gates everywhere! One of my pet peeves is volunteers leaning on the gates causing the screws that lead to the wall to bend. grrrr! The extensions for the gates are too wide... in every gate I purchase... so the screw part is fairly long making it easily bendable. When I found this Wall Nanny with the extension part (by accident I might say)... I was so excited! Now... when volunteers lean on gates... the extension Wall Nanny wont allow it to bend. Love it!

I needed an odd size dog gate for my hallway. The gate I wanted would have been stretched to its limit and the next size up was too wide to fit. Using Wall Nanny gave the smaller gate more stability, because I didnt have to screw out as far to keep the pressure on. It also helps from the gate pressure from marking up my walls. I did have to rig a little wire, because the space from the wall was large enough for my mini dachshund to squeeze through... But she is a little Houdini. Our other animals were contained. I am very happy with this purchase.

These were the cheapest solution to our problem when we moved houses and none of our baby gates fit where we needed them. They saved us from having to buy new gates or full side extenders and seem to be pretty sturdy due to the grip on the back. The only problem we came across is that the walls in our new home are not very square. I purchased the larger size based on my measurements at the bottom of the stairs, but the distance between walls was less at the top (never assume your walls are evenly spaced) so I had to improvise to make it work because I did not want to purchase an additional set in the smaller size.
