DOOR FINGER GUARDS AND CONCEALED DOOR CLOSER

We've been supplying door finger protection and concealed door closers for over ten years. During that time, we received and listened to valuable customer feedback. That feedback helped us develop our range of durable door protection products that cost-effectively meet any project requirement, look great, and keep little fingers safe.

Finger guards for doors in schools, designed for high-traffic areas, also work great in leisure centres, soft play centres, commercial spaces (restaurants/cinemas), and hospitals – anywhere where children's fingers are at risk of being trapped or injured.

All our door fingerguards are engineered to last:

  • Reduce maintenance costs
  • Provide superior door safety and finger protection
  • Aesthetic and discreet design
  • Readily available through our nationwide network of architectural ironmongers and door manufacturers.

So whether you require integral door finger guards (Alumax) to design out the problem or retrofit finger guards (Alumini/Alufast) for existing hinged door frame cover, we have a finger guard to suit.

LIMITATIONS OF OTHER FINGER PROTECTORS

Plastic Finger Guards

Plastic Finger Guards

 

Plastic guards covered the gap between the door and frame.
In domestic environments, they're safe and do the job.
However, they're not durable enough in high-traffic areas,
like schools or retail environments:

 

  • They crack and split
  • They are a maintenance liability
  • Feedback is that they look cheap and obtrusive

Rubber Finger Guards

Rubber Finger Guards

 

Flexible rubber door hinge covers are hard-wearing and tough.
Visually, they cover the door hinge. However, a finger can still
be inserted in the gap with enough force.

 

  • It doesn't solve the larger problem
  • They are highly visible (usually in bright contrasting colours)
  • They gather dust and grime - presenting additional cleaning and hygiene considerations

Roller Blind Finger Gaurds

Roller Blind Finger Gaurds

 

The single roller blind uses fabric tension to resist fingers pushing into the gap.
And when you consider the cost of hinges, the roller blind finger guard, and the fitting,
the price is similar to our integral finger guard – which designs out the problem,
offering superior safety and aesthetics. Roller gaps are inferior, as they:

 

  • Just hide the gap
  • They affect the opening force
  • They are a costly compromise
