- Fill and sand any existing dent first, since the guard holds best on a flat surface.
- Measure your knob before you buy, because a large knob or lever may call for the 5 inch size.

About this product
Stopping a doorknob from denting the same spot
A door that swings too far puts its knob into the wall at the same point every time, and the dent slowly grows into a hole. This Homax guard is a white disc 3-1/4 inches across that you stick on right where the knob lands.
Its foam backing absorbs part of each impact, so the drywall behind it takes less of the blow. You can paint or wallpaper over the face to blend it in. It goes up just as easily on a fresh wall in new construction as on a room you are renovating.
If the Self-Adhesive Wall Guard, 3-1/4 in does not fit your job, the wall patch and drywall shelf has 14 more products from the Homax product family.
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.
