"Fingersafe®
Door Hinge Guards Protect Fingers from the Danger of
Amputation and Crushing in the
Hinged Side of Doors."
Fingersafe®
is a door hinge guard that prevents fingers from being
pinched, crushed or
AMPUTATED at the hinged end of doors.
Each year it is estimated there are nearly 300,000
door-related finger injuries world wide. Many include
serious injuries such as broken bones and
amputation.
Fingersafe® products
have been described as "the best new safety product to
hit America in 50 years" by Joe Kaplan of the Greater Los
Angeles Chapter-National Safety Council.
Liability costs for
business owners are skyrocketing. Awards in the United
States have been as high as $750,000 for a child’s
amputated fingertip. Retailers, restaurants and
child-care facilities are the most common types of
businesses at risk.
Fingersafe®
can reduce your exposure to this liability and the
installation of our product can be used as proof that
you are concerned about the welfare of your clients
and/or loved ones regardless their age.
Homes are another place where the young, the elderly and
the infirm are at risk for a door related finger injury;
there have been an estimated 3 million door related
finger injuries in homes alone.
Fingersafe®
is Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) approved with a fire
rating of four hours. It can be installed on any fire
door and has been tested and complies with the following
standards: NFPA 252, UL 10B, UL 10C, ASTM E-152, CAN4
S-104, and UBC7-2 (1997).
Fingersafe®
was awarded a United States Government contract and is
the recommended door safety product for US Government
and Military child care facilities.
Applications for
Fingersafe®
Door Hinge Guards include schools, youth centers, fast
food restaurants, hospitals, ships, factories,
universities and churches.
More and more standards now require door safety devices
in recognition of the need to eliminate this type risk.
Fingersafe®
is available in white, black or brown and in various
lengths. e.g. 80 inches, 83 inches and 96 inches. We can
also produce additional colors and lengths on special
