    We screwed rubber door stops to the headboard and have found no damage since.



    Thanks - the other half wants them securely fixed to the wall - and what she desires has to happen !!

    Eventually - we got an "oddjobman" in to sort this..........
    He used some long drilled stips of steel - screwed them to the backs of the headboards and then to the wall - so there are small brackets showing at the sides of the headboards.
    (There were no keyhole cutouts in the boards)
    Looks OK and appears firmly fixed
    Sorted !!
