Baby safety gate upstairs is constantly hitting a corner wall and chipping the paint. Will this work to protect this?

My cats where using a corner wall as their scratching post! Not only did they get the paint off, they succeeded in getting out little chunks of plaster. This item helped tremendously. I'm going to buy another for a corner wall in the kitchen.

There are edges to prevent this, it's a ledge type thing. However it does snap off for cleaning and one of mine figured out they could pry it off. I just put it back on and never leave it off. It should definitely slow down her digging though. It did mine.

I used this in a raised bed, some large containers, and around some newly planted plants. It seemed to help keep the critters out of those, but I think it would take a truckload to work around my fence, and eventually the rain washes it away. On my fence I have tried putting a one-foot-wide chicken wire topper to discourage them climbing over, tree tanglefoot spread on the chainlink, spraying with garlic oil, spraying with orange oil, even aluminum foil. I just purchased an electric fence charger and wire from amazon and will be installing that near the top of the fence. Maybe THAT will stop the raccoons.

Valerie, it will work, but the edges might look ugly. I would not recommend it if to cover objects with many surfaces.

The area I protect is straight. But like another has said, put a brick or block on one end and work the curve. The less of a curve the more likely this will work.

We have it on a tile deck which is not perfectly level and it's totally fine. With that said if you plan to open the doors on the front then you may want to put a flat wooden sheet or something underneath to stop the stones getting in to the box and stopping the door closing. If you are just going to use the top doors then would think you are ok. Good luck - we love ours!

The walls aren't very thick (maybe 3/4"). So you could do it for a small dog and maybe reinforce the outer edges.

If you are asking if it will prevent the door from slamming, no it won't if it is mounted in such a way as to close the door. The way it works is that there is a spring inside the vertical part of it that presses the lateral arm against the door, which closes the door. The lateral arm just slides in a track (provided) that prevents damage to the door. If you want to use it to prevent the door from slamming, you could mount it on the other side of the door with the lateral arm pushing the door open rather than closed. The pressure is adjustable and might be able to slow or soften the closing of the door.

I've set up mine as a barrier to keep my 17-mo old from going up and down stairs--to stay out of it instead of in! Works really well!

In my opinion YES, it will prevent that. It is double bolted and secured to the side framing of the door. With a past in public safety, I researched this quite a bit because in our new home we can not use a simple pin to secure the door over and above the cheap latches that come on sliding doors. When I researched this type of lock and passed it around a few police friends we were all in agreement that this would ultimately keep the door attached and unable to be removed from the tracks as normal access with a crow bar or heavy screw driver would allow. I highly recommend it.

Probably not your first line of defense. We have it on our doors so that our small child can't get out when sleep walking, and it works perfectly for that. There have been mornings that I've forgotten it was latched and given the door a strong tug and it was fine - but if someone wanted to break in I think they could use enough force to do so.

While my door is new I have been working with a rescue group that has had this problem due to wear. They have gone to a heavy canvas for the door and this seems to work for them.

Not likely, I used a 2x4 and cut it to match the wall and secured the gate to that as a temporary solution.

This baby playzone is not very stable. If the baby/toddler pulls the fence towards him/herself, it may collapse on the baby/toddler. It is light so probably won't harm / hurt the child. We use it to block off our 95 lb dog from our baby. However, when we were assembling it, we found some parts damaged or easily damaged in the process of assembling it. This product is not worth more than $30. We feel ripped off.

Just go to http://www.amazon.com/North-States-Industries-Superyard-Colorplay/dp/B006NTY1HK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1422571149&sr=8-3&keywords=north+states+baby+play+yard and click on the photo that's listed as a video. It clearly explains and demonstrates how to separate the panels. Not user that I wold use a section of the pen to block a door for an 18 month old though. They are not very sturdy as freestanding panels, and a toddler could easily knock them over. You'd be better off with a product designed to specifically to block a door. There are lots of them out there...get one that is pressure mounted if you don't want to mar your walls or mess with screws. I have a nice one made by "Summer" that is quite secure when it's installed according to the directions, and it automatically swings shut and latches. Much safer for a toddler and I'm pretty sure I got it here on Amazon too....

That would be a nice application, but I don't see how. It has three attachment points -- in a triangle configuration...it is really intended to go in a corner -- trying to put it against a flat wall will change the geometry and I suspect it would not work in a satisfactory manner. Good luck!

I use it outside as a step-up to my doggy door installed in the wall. Bought it initially because I was getting a new puppy who was too small to make the jump from the outside - plus my older dog was not comfortable with the drop from inside to out. It has proven to be the perfect solution. My only question - how would you anchor it? I have it pushed up against a wall and it doesn't move but then neither does the wall! Anyway ... It works perfectly for my use.
