Door Safety for children in your care. Avoid trapping of fingers in the wide door gap of the door jamb.

Suitable for child proofing  doors of crèches, Montessori & pre-schools as well as domestic households where teachers, guardians, and parents wish to make safe their doors for their adventurous babies & toddlers in their care. It is highly recommended that you read our ‘Useful Info’ page in order to help you with your product consideration. If you are mainly concerned for babies and toddlers and generally kids under 4 years of age then childproofing is extremely important and this sized strip is what you require. It reaches a little more than half way up the door and just high enough to stop a child of this age group to reach over and stick their finger in the door gap. You can also use our easy step Selection Guide to pinpoint the product for your needs.

This Finger Protection Door Safety Strip is transparent in colour and therefore ideal for any colour design and interior that you will forget it’s there. It is 1.2 meter in length and is suitable for the wide gap side of the door i.e the Pull Side of the door jamb. The strip allows for the door to open to approximately 110 degrees. When installed correctly it does not hinder the opening or closing of the door. (we highly recommend it be used in conjunction with the Finger Protection 1.2 Meter Narrow Strip that covers the narrow door gap on the side where the hinge pins are (Pull Side). We always recommend that you consider buying both the wide and narrow strips in order to best ensure complete safety and prevent the catching of fingers in doors - see our Home Childproof Pack 1.2 Meter Special which also incorporates the narrow strip)

The strip is adhesive but in educational and care facilities as well as public and commercial buildings we strongly recommend the use of screws every 30 cm. We advise that you inquire from a Hardware store what screws would be suitable for the material or surface they are to be screwed into. These should be ½ to 1 centimetre in length and should cost no more than a few cents each.

• SKG-IKOB® Certified (EN16654)

• The strips have been tested for over 250,000 openings – That’s the equivalent of a door being opened 137 times a day over 5 years or 69 times a day over 10 years. If used externally the lifespan of the product will be shorter due to the weather elements.

• Transparent so matches any colour interior.

Video showing installation:

This following youtube video is for the transparent 1.8 meter or 1.2 meter length wide and narrow strips to give you a broad look at the ease of installation. Please note that in the video the installer uses a wood block and white plastic strip to make markings with his pencil on the doors - that's just him using a shortcut instead of having to get his measuring tape out. You will see these measurements in the instructions and quickly understand what he was using these implements for.
