Preventing Dents - my new review

We just had the interior of our house painted. The painters repaired 2 holes in walls where door handles broke thru the drywall & installed new baseboard doorstops. Next we had new flooring installed. The floor installers promptly slammed holes back in the drywall in spite of the doorstops. When the painters came back to touch up, they fixed the drywall AGAIN.So we decided to put in hinge pin door stops on all our doors (and 2 hinge pin door stops on each exterior door). Initially I bought a 12-pack of hinge pins from another company before realizing we needed 7 more. Homotek was the only company I found that sold a pack of 8 hinge pins.We thought the problem was solved. Every door stopped short of hitting the walls. But then we noticed that the rubber bumper side of the hinge pin was capable of creating a dent on doorjamb. It seems that doorjambs are made of a rather wood. Now what?We found FurniMate 20.8mm clear round adhesive bumper pads. The rubber bumper on the hinge pins is about .5 of an inch in diameter. The FurniMate bumper pad is .8 inches making it just the right size. They are clear, unobtrusive, only $5 for 72, & thick enough to absorb the contact with the rubber bumper. When we need to paint again, I plan to try using a hair dryer to soften the adhesive on the clear bumper pads before attempting to remove them.I am really happy to have our drywall & our molding protected from holes & dents thanks to the partnership of Homotek hinge pin door stops & FurniMate bumper pads!
