Threaded Spindle Rods

I bought these vmaisi mounting cups to use with a Munchkin XL baby gate at the top of a staircase to increase the sturdiness and have been very satisfied.These mounting cups were very straightforward to use / easy to install. You just stick the mounting cups that came with your baby gate into these cups and turn the adjustment rod on your gate until it is firmly pressure-mounted to the wall. Note that these add a little bit of overall width to your gate, so you'll need to factor in an additional .98" (basically an inch) to your width calculations if you need to figure out gate extensions. I used the bottom cups on a baseboard and the top mounted directly to walls, so I had the top adjustment rods turned out a lot more than the bottom ones. I didn't need to drill holes to attach these to the wall. They are very sturdy without doing that.The larger diameter of these (2 1/3 inches) than the typical mounting cups that come with your gate, along with the riveted lines on the side that faces the surface you're mounting it to is what allows for a sturdier grip to keep your gate in place. It also allows your surfaces to be protected a bit more because the larger rubber grips diffuse crazy kid or animal energy thrown their way. My strong 2 year old loves to try to grab, pull, and shake the gate like it will magically open for him if he tries hard enough (the gate hasn't moved a bit, and you'd think he's learn that he shouldn't bother, but he sometimes still goes at it like his life depends on it.)Update: My child has grown and we no longer need the gates. There were NO marks on the walls when taking the gates off using these at the top of the stairs. We didn't have the mounting cups on the gate at the bottom of the stairs and there were gouges out of the drywall and baseboard moulding. I wish we would have used these on the bottom gate too.I highly recommend this product! I'm glad we had a little extra ease of mind at the top of the stairs and they did a good job of protecting drywall and moulding.

These fit on our gate like a second glove! Very glad we purchased these, easy to install, no damage or holes in our walls to use.Would highly recommend

These are a lifesaver for so many different things inside and outside the house! Very inexpensive, incredibly easy to use, perfect size, they fit just about everything and the quality is very nice! They keep rods, baby gates, dog gates etc from making those puncture in your walls and keep them securely in place. Can also use them on the bottom of chairs that you don't want moving around. So many different uses for these. They really are a must have.

I use this tall gate for 80lb dogs. It was received as expected. Looks and operates as expected. I deducted a star for the unnecessary warning stickers everywhere! Hard to remove without marking up the gate. Stickers do not come off easily in one piece. Crazy glue residue . I was a little ticked off yesterday and was going to give 1 star. It was over the top crazy sticky, stickers that wrap around the bars. Remove stickers before assembling the gate.

Helps to save marks on drywall by spreading out the force.

Sturdy, fits most gate side circle knobs.

We have several baby gates up but decided to order with our last gate purchase. Really helps keep the cate securely in place and protects the wall paint. Will be ordering more.

It does protect your walls from a baby gate but does leave round black marks. Will have to repaint when the times come.
