The Whole-Home Door Protection Checklist

A 5-minute walk-through of every door in your home — so you know exactly which ones are one hard swing away from a drywall repair.

Step 1 — Walk the house with this list

Check every door below and mark the ones that qualify:

• Kids' bedroom doors — opened fast, opened often, opened without looking.
• Bathroom doors — the most-used doors in the house, usually near tight walls.
• The draft door — the one that slams when a window is open.
• Doors near wall corners — the handle meets the corner edge, the most expensive repair spot.
• Entry and hallway doors — swung wide with hands full.
• Laundry and garage doors — pushed open with a basket or elbow.

Step 2 — Look for the four warning signs

• A shiny or flattened spot on the wall where the handle lands.
• A dent or crack in the drywall — damage has already started.
• Paint scuffs on the door edge from hitting trim or furniture.
• A missing or broken floor stop — or one that gets kicked, tripped on, or vacuumed around.

Step 3 — Count your protection number

Add up the doors you marked. That number is your coverage need:

• 1–3 doors → a Starter-level fix covers the problem doors.
• 4–8 doors → the busiest rooms in a typical home — Home-level coverage.
• 9+ doors → whole-home coverage protects every door at the lowest per-door cost.

Step 4 — Protect at the hinge, not the floor

Floor stops trip, wall bumpers only pad the impact spot, and neither limits how far the door travels. A hinge pin door stopper mounts on the hinge you already have, stops the door before the handle reaches the wall, and adjusts per door. See how it works or read the FAQ.

Keep this page bookmarked — run the walk-through again any time furniture moves or a floor stop disappears.
