Why every home should have Fingersafe Shields

02 Oct Why every home should have Fingersafe Shields

As a homeowner, safety is of course a top priority, especially when you have little ones running (or crawling) around. While we often think about childproofing cabinets, stairs and electrical outlets, one area that is all too often overlooked is door safety.

Doors pose a significant risk, particularly for curious children. Door-related finger injuries have the potential to cause serious damage, not just in the short term, with many trapping incidents resulting in lifelong, permanent issues. Installing door finger protection guards, like Fingersafe® Shield, is a very simple safety measure that every family home can benefit from, here’s how…

Prevent painful injuries

One of the most common household injuries among children involves fingers getting pinched, crushed or caught in closing doors. The aftermath of door-related finger injuries can range from minor bruises to severe crush injuries, with medical intervention and even surgery required to soothe and remedy symptoms.

Fingersafe® Shield is designed to cover the dangerous gap between door and frame to significantly reduce or even eliminate the risk of trapping injury. Fingersafe® Shield runs down the entire length of a standard domestic door on the front or push side, and actively ejects wandering fingers out of the danger zone.

Create a safer space for all

While finger protection guards are essential for young children, they also benefit other family members. Toddlers, older children, elderly family members and even adults can be hurt by door-related finger injuries. Fingersafe® Shield gives you the means to create a home environment where everyone is safe, eliminating the worry and risk for all ages so you can focus firmly on family life.

Enjoy ultimate peace of mind

Here at Fingersafe, we understand that life can get pretty busy for parents, with family homes hives of activity and multitasking a daily reality.

Whether you’re cooking dinner, helping with homework or juggling it all with working from home, keeping an eye on your children at all times is not always possible. Fingersafe® Shield strips provide the extra layer of security you need to ensure your children are safe when your attention is temporarily diverted.

Keep things easy and affordable

Our finger pinch protection devices are also affordably priced, meaning you can kit out your entire property to put safety first.

Childproof your home once and for all

With 59% of children aged 10 or under injured in their own homes, childproofing is a vital step that shouldn’t be skipped as BabyByMonth details:

“It’s about being one step ahead of your little one’s endless curiosity and boundless energy. In a home that’s not childproofed, everyday objects and seemingly harmless situations can pose significant risks to your child. From a pot of hot coffee perched on the edge of a table to an unsecured rug that could trip a toddling baby, dangers lurk in the most ordinary places.”
