According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), about 30,000 children and toddlers get their fingers crushed by closing doors every year. Though most of these finger trapping accidents can be easily prevented with door finger guards in place, the British Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (BAPRAS) says that when the injuries do occur, they could leave children with lifelong problems. In most door-related finger accidents, the injury caused will result in a sprain or broken or fractured finger. However, in some extreme circumstances, they can cause the finger or fingertip to sever. Any finger injury can result in a 20% loss of hand strength and make even the most mundane everyday tasks such as tying shoelaces, typing, holding a mobile phone or eating a lot more challenging. This can also prevent people from pursuing their chosen career in the future! But, of course, this is nothing compared to the pain and mental distress of having a severed fing

If you own or manage a commercial property like a restaurant, warehouse, or nursery, you cannot afford to ignore door safety in your building. Doors in commercial spaces are subjected to heavy traffic, being opened and closed many times a day. This makes it more likely that someone would accidentally “trap” their fingers in the hinge side of the door. Considering the fact that a closing door exerts a pressure of about 32,000 PSI, fingers caught in the hinge cavity of a closing door can often result in life-long muscle or ligament damage, as well as cracked or dislocated bones and possibly even amputation. These severe injuries also come with the possibility of litigation and claims for personal injury, that can be very expensive for you. Thankfully, the risk of finger injuries and liability can be easily avoided with door finger protectors in place. The purpose of door finger protectors is to minimise the gap between the door and the hinge, which would prevent anyone from putting th
