Who might benefit from having finger safe guards for fire doors?

Finger safe fire doors offer a host of benefits to those that use them, making them a safe and secure option for many establishments. But just who might want to use finger guards for fire doors?

Educational sector

Nurseries, schools and colleges are prime examples of places that will benefit greatly from having finger safe fire doors installed. This is because young children are especially prone to getting fingers trapped in doors, resulting in excruciating pain and injuries. In fact, as many as 30,000 youngsters in the UK experience trapped fingers in doors every year, with around 1,500 of them needing surgery. Some of these injuries can last a lifetime.

With Safehinge finger safe fire doors installed, finger-trapping accidents can be prevented, thanks to the use of unique technology that makes fingers getting caught impossible. This offers great peace of mind for everyone using the doors, including teachers and parents.

Indeed, any environment frequently used by children would benefit from having finger safe fire doors fitted. These include play, youth or sports centres, for example.

Care environments

It’s not just children that can easily get their fingers trapped in doors. Adults are susceptible, too, especially those who may have weak or poor strength in their fingers and hands. For this reason, it makes great sense to feature finger guards for fire doors in establishments such as hospitals, care or nursing homes, or centres for adults with special needs.

Public buildings

The use of Safehinge finger safe fire doors extends to many environments. In fact, any public building, whether a place of work or leisure, would greatly benefit from their inclusion. This safeguards fingers from getting trapped but also reduces the risk of any costly legal action that might ensue. Certainly, if safety regulations are a priority in your environment, having fire doors that are safe in every respect is wise.

Savvy business owners

Safehinge finger guards for fire doors are also a worthy choice from a financial aspect. The advanced technology and design used gives them superior longevity compared to plastic options, saving you money in the long run. Plus, by blending in seamlessly in any setting, there’s no compromise on stylish looks.
