  "question": "Whether a pressure-mounted toddler gate will leave marks or damage walls, including how it meets trim and wall surfaces.",
  "answer": "The checked facts do not say whether these gates leave marks or damage walls. The facts below cover how each gate meets trim and wall surfaces. Qdos Spectrum Designer Pressure Mount Baby Gate: The QRF spindle head allows installation over quarter-round molding. Wall cups must be installed to keep the gate in place; without them a child can push out and escape. Qdos Auto-Close SafeGate: The bottom spindles can be adjusted independently of the top spindles; making them shorter accommodates baseboard thickness in most cases. If the space between the gate and the wall is more than 2.5 inches even when centered, an extension is needed. Qdos Crystal Designer Pressure Mount Baby Gate: It is intended only for doorways, the bottom of stairs or as a room divider, installed between two strong rigid surfaces.",
