It is now an established practice to install finger guards on doors in commercial facilities all around the U.K. These facilities may include day care centres, schools, cafes, libraries, shopping malls, workplaces, etc. But, are these   door finger guards  all that useful in providing protection against finger trap injuries?      In short, yes, they are!

This gap is wide, wide enough for fingers to be poked through and get caught in between the door and its frame. Door finger guards, though, can easily fill in this gap, eliminating the risks of an injury in every respect. door
