Where Are Finger Safe Doors Commonly Used?

It may seem an obvious question but finger safe doors are commonly used in any public or private setting where there may be children or adults with special needs.

The main benefit of finger safe doors is that they keep little fingers from becoming trapped in doors and therefore prevent injury to small children and adults.

The use of safehinge doors is more common than you may think and finger safe doors are now the norm in settings such as hospitals, leisure centres, schools, and other community venues.

Healthcare

Safehinge doors are often used throughout hospitals but will almost always be found in areas such as Childrens’ Wards or Accident and Emergency Departments. The use of these protective items minimises the risk of injury within a healthcare setting.

Finger safe doors can also be found in care homes to protect not only visitors to the home but also residents from accidental injury.

Education

The use of safehinge doors within an education setting is very common. From nurseries and daycare environments where toddlers may be using doors, to the safeguarding of injury from school doors in busy corridors. As a non-invasive protective measure they are unobtrusive aesthetically and they are a suitable mitigation for the risk of accident or injury in the educational setting.

Community

Leisure centres and community centres are often used by the whole family. Finger safe doors are often used on changing room doors and on the entrances to community accessed areas such as village halls minimising the likelihood of a trapped finger injury.

The Benefits Of Safehinge Doors

Safehinge doors are designed to leave no gap between the door itself and its frame. They are a durable solution when compared with other finger safe doors such as those with roller blind cover, plastic finger guards, or rubber safety guards. Safehinge doors have an efficient design and offer little to no impact on the opening requirements of the door in its setting.

The doors have a long life span meaning that they are a cost effective choice for healthcare, educational and wellbeing environments.
