Professional door finger guard fitting - prevent little fingers getting trapped in door hinges. A common childhood injury that's easily prevented.
### The Hinge Side Is Dangerous
Everyone thinks about fingers in the door edge. **The hinge side is worse** - that gap opens and closes with crushing force. Children's fingers fit right in there.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Fire doors cause the worst injuries - they're heavy and self-closing. If you have fire doors, finger guards are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions about Door finger guard fitting in Tiverton
Where do fingers get trapped?
The hinge side of doors - where the gap opens and closes. Children put fingers in the gap, someone closes the door, fingers get crushed. It's common and extremely painful.
Will finger guards look ugly?
They're visible, yes - a strip runs down the hinge side. But they're unobtrusive and come in colours to match doors. Small price for preventing a horrific injury.
Which doors need guards?
Any door that children can reach and that gets opened/closed regularly. Internal doors throughout the house, especially heavy fire doors which cause the worst injuries.
Do they stop the door working?
No - the door opens and closes normally. The guard just covers the gap where fingers could get trapped. You won't notice any difference in use.
