Won't these rub the wood and eventually cause an indention that will need to be repaired?

I have had these on my cabinets for 3 months. There are no indentions on the back of the cabinet doors where the retractable rubber stopper touches. I cannot foresee this being a problem and agree with the 2 previous responders to your question.

The dark gray plunger part that contacts the back of the cabinet door is plastic and does not wear or scuff the finish on your doors.

I've had these on my kitchen cabinet since 2007. Not one problem or dent. I've also hot glued these to my metal medicine cabinet with the bumpers on the mirror inside the door. not a problem.

The part that touches the door is a soft rubber-like material. It should not damage your doors.

These do not cause any rubbing. If you have a issue with the fit of the adapter, it could be that you need to use the provide spacer. On most of my cabinets I had to use the provided spacer. If you go to You Tube and search 'Blumotion Hinge Adapter' there is a video by a guy name Russ R. that shows how easy installation is--I recommend watching the video. These adapters are great, if your cabinets are real hardwood you will need a screw drive with some power or use a manual screw driver and elbow grease.

I've had these on my kitchen cabinets for over 2 years now and there are no signs of wear.I don't see an issue with this unless your doors are made of very soft wood, which I doubt

If they are not being slid around they should not scratch. Be careful though they are really strong if you let it slam into the surface you would almost certainly get scratches.

I have them on fake wood laminate and no problems. They won't scratch but may wear the finish if repeatedly travelled over the same path.

You would have to de-blacken the scratches and possibly fill them in with wood putty, if needed. As a clear varnish, this would otherwise heighten the contrast between the scratches and the floor. Alternatively, you could just go with the distressed look and pretend you did it on purpose.

It would take a lot of rubbing. It is for surface oxidation and slight calcium buildup. Try Lime-a-way.

Probably not, I use them on my desks at school. They do rub off with some scrubbing with a wipe or with a dry erase marker.

I think they might fray. Would you risk it? How much of an investment is it for you? How about cutting them and apply some kind of silicone compound, spray or with a brush to seal the exposed edges...a clear drying substance that would dry quickly, before affixing them to the steps...just a thought

To be honest with you I haven't used them yet...I would think they would withstand using varnish remover though!

I have wooden trim and it is leaving very small black scuffs that in sure would come out and it is deforming the trim slightly (crushing in about an 1/8") on the grip side

If they do its just water in the pen so it doesn't hurt anything. It's a soft tip as well so it shouldn't even scratch the walls.

They WILL NOT leave any marks.Just make sure screws are counter sunk BELOW the bunk.They are fantastic.

A "weak spot" for many laminates that involve click-lock or tongue-and-groove wooden boards is the seams where these boards meet. Unless you have something like a Pergo floor in which you glued the seams after laying each row, the steam may penetrate and cause swelling of the wood below the "fake wood" surface. Flooring installers call this type of swelling/warpage "cupping" and a user introducing this kind of moisture would void the warranties I've read. (Disclaimer: DIY person who has installed several brands of flooring.)

not at all.. you just have to push and pull out gently.. and thats it.. if it doesn't work as i said they might have some damage.

Work great, No the material that it is constructed from is "fluffed" to resist scratching your wood floor "Varnish" although... the dirt on the floor you are pushing around to gather IS scratching and after time will become more evident, refinish it in about ten years to keep it from "Yellowing" and generations of your family can enjoy them.

Yes, they leave a definite mark. Suggest you clamp the item between two pieces of thick cardboard:that should take the impact of the 'teeth'.

Yes, I believe they did scratch our wood floor when the chairs slid in and out from our island. However, I placed (inexpensive) pads on the bottom of all the legs/feet & that took care of it. I still love these chairs- although my kids are constantly swiveling back n forth when sitting in them, which nicks up the wood on the sides of the chairs (from our granite counter top). Wished I would have got non-swivel/stationary chairs.

As Golf Fanatic said, the indentation is from the weld that holds the two pieces together. The weld mark should be smooth to the touch: otherwise, you would have a manufacturing defect.
