FINGERSAFE MK1A Hinge Opening Side Finger Protector
The Fingersafe MK1A Hinge Opening Side Finger Protector is a highly reliable, UK-manufactured safety solution designed to prevent serious finger-trapping injuries. Specifically designed for the push (opening hinge) side of standard doors, this protector completely covers the hazardous hinge gap to shield hands and fingers from being crushed or trapped.
Featuring a unique concertina design, the MK1A actually ejects fingers from the opening hinge side as the door closes. It is constructed from high-quality, durable PVC-u and is screw-fixed to the door and frame rather than glued, ensuring a secure, long-lasting installation that will not deteriorate over time.
This versatile finger guard is suitable for a wide range of door types, including timber, aluminium, metal, uPVC, and Crittall doors, and can even be fitted to fire exit doors with push bars. Supplied at a standard 2m length, it can be easily trimmed to the exact height required for your door.
