"We have decided to use Safehinge on a 'spend to save' basis across all new primary and special needs schools."

Save 75% on life costs

The need to protect door hinges to prevent finger trappings is well established.  The best solution available for many years was retrofit hinge covers, which are known to have durability issues in public buildings.

When hinge covers break (at an estimated frequency of 6 - 24 months), they need to be replaced and this incurs a cost.  Over the 25 year life a building this cost can be substantial; the more doors the greater the cost.  The Safehinge ALU range is a durable solution to this issue and over the life of a building will save significant life costs.

Manchester City Council invested an extra £3,000 to use SafeHinge on doors in one primary school and estimated their whole life cost saving at approximately £17,000 over the 25 year life of the building.
