For best results

  • Over a deep, crumbling hole, fill it with compound first so the guard has a flat surface to hold.
  • If a door slams hard, add a door stop as well: the guard softens the hit but does not stop the door.

How to use

  1. Step 1Swing each door to the wall and note where the handle lands.
  2. Step 2Clean the spot and give it time to dry.
  3. Step 3Center the guard over the mark, peel the backing and press it on.
  4. Step 4Paint the face to match the wall after it is stuck down.

About this product

A bigger guard for lever handles and wide knobs

Lever handles and large knobs strike a wider area than a small round knob, and they can miss a small guard altogether. These Homax guards measure 5 inches in diameter, and the pack holds six, so you can cover several doors in one house at once.

Each one is a round white disc with a foam back that absorbs some of the impact. You can stick it over a hole a handle has already made, or put it up before the first dent appears. Paint or wallpaper over it so it blends with the wall around it.

The wall patch and drywall shelf holds 14 more products beside the Self-Adhesive Wall Guard, 5 in, and every one belongs to the Homax selection.

Before you start

In a house built before 1978 the paint around the hole may contain lead. Do not dry-sand or power-sand old paint until it has been tested, mist the area and clean up with a damp cloth instead of a broom. Drywall dust itself is fine and travels, so sand with a mask on.
