YOTI FINGER PINCH PROTECTOR GUARDS FOR DOOR HINGES
A unique, inconspicuous and easy to install finger pinch protector guard for door hinges designed to prevent fingers being trapped in opening and closing doors. This Complete Door Safety System Set covers both the inside and outside door hinges.
Introduction
With some 300,000 reported incidents of amputated, mutilated or damaged fingers in doors per year, Fingersafe is designed specifically to prevent fingers from being damaged in the hinged end of doors. Besides the cost in trauma, treatment and disability, the owner or manager of a facility could be held responsible and incur litigation for personal injury. Havingidentified the need in the market, Fingersafe was developed as the original finger pinch
protector guard for door hinges.
YOTI Finger Pinch Protector Guards for Door Hinges Applications YOTI is compatible with all types of standard hinged doors including: fire doors, wood, metal, aluminum, YKK type openings and dutch doors. Resistant to UV light, Fingersafe is designed for interior or exterior use.

It iscommercially specified for restaurants, fast food outlets, as well as government and military buildings. YOTI Finger Pinch Protector Guards for Door Hinges Description YOTI offers no resistance or restriction to the door operation and allows over 180 degrees of operation. It protects the full length of the door on each side of the hinged end of door. The YDF101 is a flexible, accordion shaped fitting designed to actually eject fingers from being trapped or crushed in the “push” side of doors. When the door is closed the fitting is compressed, but when the door is opened the fitting extends and provides a protective covering over the hinged end space. The accordion piece lies flat against the frame when the door is closed for aesthetically pleasing design. YDF101 units are installed via a fixing strip which allows easy access to the hinge for maintenance.
