Description
FG1 White Fingershield Finger Protector – 1960mm – For Doors Opening Up to 100°
Product Overview
The FG1 White Fingershield Finger Protector is a practical and effective door safety solution designed to help prevent fingers and hands from becoming trapped in the hinge side of a closing door. Suitable for doors with a maximum opening angle of 100°, the FG1 Fingershield provides continuous protection along the hinge side of the door while allowing the door to operate normally.
Ideal for use in schools, nurseries, offices, healthcare facilities, public buildings, commercial premises and residential properties, this finger protection system helps reduce the risk of painful finger-trapping injuries, particularly in areas where children or vulnerable users are present.
Finished in white, the FG1 provides a clean and unobtrusive appearance that blends easily with most modern door and frame finishes.
Effective Finger-Trapping Protection
The hinge side of a door can create a potentially hazardous trapping point as the door closes. Fingers can easily become caught between the door leaf and frame, potentially resulting in painful injuries.
The FG1 Fingershield is designed to cover this vulnerable gap and create a protective barrier between the moving door and frame. It helps prevent fingers from entering the hinge-side closing area while allowing the door to operate normally.
The system is particularly useful in environments where doors are frequently used and where reducing the risk of finger-trapping injuries is an important consideration.
Standard 1960mm Length
The FG1 White Fingershield is supplied in a standard 1960mm length, providing substantial coverage for the hinge side of a typical door.
The generous length makes the Fingershield suitable for a wide range of standard door applications, helping to protect the hinge-side gap over a large proportion of the door's height.
Before installation, the door dimensions should be checked to ensure that the 1960mm Fingershield is appropriate for the intended application.
Designed for Doors Opening Up to 100°
The FG1 Fingershield is designed for doors with a maximum opening angle of 100°.
When selecting a finger protection system, it is important to consider the door's opening angle and configuration to ensure the correct product is selected. The FG1 provides a suitable solution for doors operating within its specified maximum opening range.
Helping Reduce the Risk of Child Door Injuries
Finger trapping is a recognised door safety concern, particularly in environments where young children are present.
According to RoSPA, studies have found that approximately 40,000 child safety door accidents occur every year throughout the UK. The hinge side of a door can present a significant trapping point because the gap between the door and frame changes as the door moves.
Installing an appropriate finger protection system such as the FG1 can help reduce access to this trapping area and form part of a wider approach to improving door safety.
The FG1 is therefore particularly suited to environments such as:
-
Schools
-
Nurseries
-
Children's centres
-
Primary schools
-
Childcare facilities
-
Hospitals
-
Healthcare premises
-
Care homes
-
Public buildings
-
Commercial properties
Clean White Finish
The white finish provides a discreet and unobtrusive appearance, making the FG1 suitable for a wide variety of door and frame finishes.
Its neutral colour works particularly well with white-painted doors, PVCu doors, timber doors and light-coloured frames, allowing the Fingershield to integrate neatly into the surrounding door installation.
The clean appearance makes it suitable for both new-build projects and upgrading existing doors where additional finger protection is required.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Applications
The FG1 Fingershield can be used in numerous environments where doors are regularly operated and finger protection is desirable.
Typical applications include:
-
Schools and educational establishments
-
Nurseries and childcare facilities
-
Offices and commercial buildings
-
Hospitals and healthcare environments
-
Care homes and assisted-living facilities
-
Public buildings
-
Community centres
-
Leisure facilities
-
Hotels and hospitality premises
-
Residential properties
-
Internal doors in high-traffic areas
It is particularly useful on doors located in areas where children frequently pass through or operate doors, helping to reduce the likelihood of fingers becoming caught on the hinge side.
Practical Door Safety Upgrade
The FG1 is an ideal choice when improving the safety of an existing door installation without significantly altering its appearance.
Finger protection can be particularly valuable on doors that are frequently opened and closed throughout the day. By providing a physical barrier over the hinge-side gap, the Fingershield helps address one of the common trapping points found on conventional hinged doors.
It can therefore form part of a wider programme of door safety improvements and risk reduction in commercial, educational, healthcare and residential environments.
