Why choose Fingersafe door guards

11 Sep Why choose Fingersafe door guards

Unfortunately, no matter how careful we are, accidents happen, with door-related finger injuries particularly common occurrences. Door-related hand and finger injuries can have devastating consequences for those affected and, as Royal Free Hospital plastic surgeon Anna De Leo explains, the impact can be lifelong:

“The injuries are so serious that the patient would need to undergo a clinic appointment, an X-ray, day surgery, a follow-up nurse appointment and possibly physiotherapy… It’s easy to underestimate how important your hands are to doing everyday tasks. Injuries to fingers and hands mean tying your shoelaces, typing, holding a mobile phone or eating become a lot more challenging. And this is nothing compared to the impact of a finger amputation.”

The prevention of ‘pinch points’ is the key to safer environments across all industries, with both adults and children benefitting hugely from the protective measures put into place. One such measure is the installation of our door safety guards. But, why are Fingersafe products the best in the business?

They’re built to last

Our door finger protection guards are crafted using the highest standard of materials, including quality uPVC. By investing in a Fingersafe door guard, you are investing in a solution that’ll serve you – and all who use your building – for years to come. The vast majority of our high impact resistant designs are suitable for commercial and domestic use.

Durability is central to all our door guard designs, with screw fixings (not glue) used to ensure reliable and robust pinch protection whatever the setting.

They’re easy to fit

Whether you’re looking to promote classroom safety or improve standards on your industrial site, our door finger protection guards are simple to fit. We believe finger protectors should be mandatory across all environments, that’s why we make our guards so easy to install.

While each Fingersafe product comes with its own fitting instructions, you need minimal tools to complete installation. A cordless drill or screwdriver, Stanley knife (complete with sharp blade), strong scissors, Pozidriv bit, and pencil are all that’s required to fit your new door guards. We also supply self-drilling screws for wood, metal or aluminium doors as standard.

Our door finger protection products are just as easy to maintain, with common household cleaners able to be used to guarantee a sparkling finish.

They’re suitable for most doors

Fingersafe products are suitable for use across a wide range of door types and styles, including external bi-folds. This is why our door guards are popularly installed in countless settings across several industry sectors, and available in a variety of colours. Our client base includes but is not limited to London Early Years Foundation, Virgin Active Leisure Centres, US government and military establishments, and US air bases worldwide.

While we pride ourselves on delivering solutions for a long list of door designs, Fingersafe products cannot be installed on sliding doors.

They really work!

The use of our products is your ticket to eliminating liability and preventing unexpected tragedies like door-related finger injuries. Our door guards are well regarded because they work, ejecting the fingers and hand from the door’s hinge gap before they can inflict any damage at all. As a result, we’ve been able to prevent thousands of injuries every year.

We’ve been designing and developing door finger protection products for more than two decades, and utilise this experience to ensure results for customers all over the world.
