Description
Overview
The Fingershield™ Push-side Wide-Model door finger guard prevents finger and hand injuries occurring at the hinge-side of the Push-side of a door that opens 180 degrees by covering the gap created between the door and the door-frame as the door is opened.
Doors that open 180 degrees are in most cases Emergency exit doors and have a panic-bar / push-bar installed.
To install the Fingershield™ Push-side Wide-Model door finger guard requires a gap of at least 2½ inches between the end of the panic-bar / push-bar and the door-frame when the door is shut.
Fingershield™ door finger guards: The Number One Door Safety Solution
Injuries caused by fingers and hands getting squashed in doors are all too common – however they are preventable. That’s why the Fingershield™ door finger guards were invented in 1999.
Since then more than a million door finger guards have been installed in over 8,000 Schools and Child Care Centers and numerous YMCAs, Military bases, Gymnasiums, Supermarkets, Fast Food Restaurants, Leisure Centers, and family oriented Clubs in the UK, Europe and the USA
They are easy to install, to remove and re-install for maintenance, and are a simple and practical solution to prevent accidents and comply with health and safety requirements.
Prevent accidents on your premises
Get peace of mind by installing Fingershield™ Push-side, Push-side Wide model and Pull-side door finger guards and Happy Hands Door Stoppers to your doors.
They prevent hand and finger injuries on the Push-side, Pull-side and Latch side of your doors.
Strong and Durable for long-lasting safety
Fingershield™ door finger guards are made of high-quality uPVC and nitrile rubber.
During tests carried out by an independent third party, a Fingershield™ Push-side door finger guard showed no signs of wear or potential failure after the completion of 1.8 million door opening and closing cycles. That’s why from the very beginning we’ve provided our customers with a 10-Year Warranty on all of our door finger guards.
Fingershield™ door finger guards are UL Certified for use with UL Classified Fire Doors and Frames rated up to 4 hours (4h).
