Helping to Protect Precious Hands & Fingers!!!

Why?? - A research conducted by the Monash University over a two year period showed that many door finger jam accidents involve a second person, often another child. The research also concluded that the most severe finger/hand jam injuries involve the hinge side of a swing door.

Injury - A closing swing door can exert up to 40 tonnes per square inch of pressure on trapped hands and fingers resulting in trauma, mutilation and in extreme cases amputation.

This easily preventable accident could have a long term psychological damage to a child or an adult especially if an amputation took place.

Our Clients - The Ronald McDonald House, The Royal Institute for Deaf & Blind Children Preschool, Liverpool Hospital, Penrith City Council centres, SA Community Children Services, Holroyd City Council centres, Parramatta City Council centres, World Tower Childcare Centre, University of NSW Children services, UTS Children Services, Mount View Primary School, Knox City Council Children's Services as well as many other private and council operated childcare centres, the Door Finger Guard and the AntiSlam Door Stopper are designed to minimise the risk of hand/finger injuries due to a closing swing door.

Recommendations - Insurance companies, such as Guild Insurance, have stated that a common cause of injury and subject of high percentage of childcare centre claims seen by the company are a result of child's finger/s being caught in a closing swing door. In many cases the finger is severed or fractured and extensive treatment is required. They recommend installation of door finger guards on all swing doors.

Increasingly safety auditors are also strongly recommending installation of finger jam protectors on all high risk swing doors to eliminate the possible risk of finger/hand injuries.

“The door protectors that you installed on all of our doors reduce the risk of crush injuries almost entirely, and give us and the families who are staying at our House greater confidence that the children will be kept safe from harm.

It was great to see that the protectors install in a matter of minutes, and thanks to a range of colours, they blend in well with the door jamb.”

Peter Schneider – Executive Officer

House at Pooh Corner is a 72 place Long Day Care centre. We have recently had all our non sliding doors fitted with door jamb protectors by Safe Doors Australia. It’s amazing how simple and effective they are.  The risk of accidents to children’s fingers has been greatly reduced. The installation process was quick and easy and it is an inexpensive way to make the centre a safer place for everyone.   I am very happy with the centre’s decision to use this product.

"I'm delighted to recommend Edmond and the Safe Doors Australia team. Knowing the awful risks of finger injuries, we had been looking for years for a suitable product - and had found that they either didn't work, or came off, or popped out, or affected the usefulness of the door, or were just too expensive to be practical. Safe Doors Australia solved all of that for us.
 
The cost was cheaper than most on the market, and certainly since installation was included, a great deal. It's all cut to order, and the colours were matched to our doors. The price was so reasonable; we had most of our doors done, rather than just the 'high risk' ones.  Everything's got a guarantee, which is very reassuring.
 
The ordering and installation process was quick and effective, and we were kept informed about what was going on. Edmond did a great job, was non-intrusive at our service, always friendly and pleasant and did a great clean up job. He even fixed a couple of hinges as he went!
 
The product itself is really subtle to look at, they just blend in with the doors, and now we know that the risk of having any little fingers crushed is gone.
 
I had my own finger crushed in a door when I was younger, and I can still remember the pain and trauma so many years later, and my finger has been permanently disfigured - I'd hate for that to happen to any of our children, and so I highly recommend that you let Safe Doors Australia give you a quote.
