Product Information
Full details
The Safetots Wall Saver is an essential accessory for parents and pet owners who want to install pressure-fit gates without damaging their home interiors. Designed to distribute pressure over a larger surface area, it is ideal for protecting plasterboard, wallpapered surfaces, and painted walls from indentation and scuffing. While it provides excellent stability and wall protection, users should note that adding these savers slightly increases the overall width requirement of the gate installation.

FAQs
Will these work on all pressure-fit gates?
They are designed to fit the vast majority of standard pressure-fit safety gates that utilize circular spindle feet.
Do I need screws to install the wall savers?
No, the wall savers are held in place by the pressure of the gate itself and require no permanent mounting hardware.
Can I use these on wallpaper?
Yes, they are specifically designed to distribute pressure to prevent damage to delicate surfaces like wallpaper.
How much width do they add to the gate?
While it varies slightly by model, you should account for approximately 1-2cm of additional width requirement per side.
Are these safe to use at the top of stairs?
Yes, they increase the stability of the gate, which is ideal for high-risk areas like the top of stairs.
Troubleshooting
Gate feels loose after installing wall savers
Verify that you have fully extended the gate spindles to compensate for the additional thickness added by the wall savers.
Bottom gate corner keeps moving
Ensure the flat edge of the half-moon wall saver is resting squarely on the floor surface and that the spindle is centered on the saver.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is a straightforward process. First, determine the mounting height for your pressure-fit gate. Place the Safetots Wall Saver between the gate's spindle foot and the wall surface. Ensure the flat, half-moon edge of the bottom savers is flush against the floor to provide maximum stability. Gradually tighten the gate spindles until the wall saver is firmly compressed against the wall. The device is compatible with most standard pressure-fit safety gates. For care, wipe the savers with a damp cloth if they accumulate dust, and periodically check the tension of your gate to ensure the savers remain securely in position.
