No More Nails self-adheisive strips

[ChelseaBun]

we just got new baby gates (the cutest ones ever!) but they need to be screwed into the wall.

We can't do that as we don't exactly want to have holes in our door frames once we no longer need them, so we're going to use self asheisive strips instead.

Can you remove the permanent strips or will i need to get the removeable ones?

The wee man in the hardware store has ordered me the removable ones for tomorrow, but now im worrying they wont be strong enough

imo it would be easier to fill a few screw holes with decorators chalk then trying to remove adhesive strip, and whilst they are held up with screws you know they are secure; wouldnt want the little un pulling gate onto themselves

screw'em in chuck.

safe, and easily remedied when finished.

mick.

screw nails in ya hammer nails in cb , to make it easier to screw screws in ya drill a pilot hole first with a drill bit a bit thinner than the screw, makes it a lot easier to put the screw in, dont use a drill bit the same size as the screw or the screw wont hold.

Make your lad buy you an electric screwdriver or get a handyman in.

last time i said a woman cant screw ,if they did not have to be concealed i would have said use hexagonal head and then you use a spanner or socket to tighten.
