When it comes to safety at schools and homes, the importance of door-related accident prevention cannot be ignored. Door hinges might look harmless, but they can pose a big risk, especially for little fingers. Enter Safety Assured’s door hinge guards — these are made to protect little fingers from being pinched or trapped in the door hinges.
You and your kids interact with doors every day, but with this interaction comes the risk of finger-trapping accidents. These accidents can happen unexpectedly at school, at daycare, or even at home and can pose serious dangers to the safety of little hands. In order to mitigate the risk of such unfortunate events, there must be something to stop fingers from getting caught in the narrow gap between the door and the frame.
Safety Assured’s Door Finger Protector® is the world’s only modular door safety solution, created to comply with strict safety standards, including the Health and Safety at Work Act. This system uses a durable, convex shield that prevents fingers from slipping into the hinge cavity, all while allowing the door to function smoothly. Even better, the design is compatible with fire-rated doors, meaning it can be installed without compromising or interfering with the door’s fire safety features.
Door Finger Protector® can also be adjusted to fit larger or wider doors. Whether you are dealing with unique door sizes or different door types (including timber, metal and PVCu), the shield can be extended to fit perfectly without affecting the door’s performance. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of environments, from busy classrooms to public buildings.
In addition to the door hinge guard, Safety Assured offers complementary products like the Gate Cap. This is specifically designed to protect fingers from getting trapped at the top of low-level gates. There is also the Hinge Pin side (HP) Finger Protector®, which, when used alongside the Door Finger Protector®, can completely eliminate the risk of finger entrapment injuries on the hinged edge of doors.
Investing in door finger guards for schools or daycares makes sense not because it helps institutes comply with safety regulations but because it represents a proactive approach to injury prevention.
Also, imagine the peace of mind that comes with knowing your doors at your home are no longer a risk. Safety Assured’s modular Door Finger Protector® system is easy to install and does not require any complex setup or adjustments. It is designed to fit a wide variety of doors and can even be extended for larger or non-standard door sizes, making it one of the most flexible door finger guards on the market today.
If you are looking to make your doors safer, Safety Assured offers a range of door hinge guard solutions designed with both safety and simplicity in mind. No matter what type of door you’re dealing with, they have the right solution to keep fingers safe from harm. For more information, visit www.safetyassured.co.uk today.
