Door finger protection for busy activity settings
Help reduce finger-trapping risks wherever children stay, learn, play and move between activities.
Fingershield provides robust hinge-side door protection for holiday camps, residential activity centres, sports programmes and children’s clubs—helping operators create safer environments during their busiest periods.
Managing several sites? Our UK-based team can help you prioritise doors and create a consistent approach.
Durable protection for busy shared facilities.
Practical guidance for individual and multi-site operators.
Long-term reassurance beyond a single season.
Designed for repeated opening and closing.
Busy programmes create constant movement through unfamiliar doors
Holiday camps and activity centres bring together children, visitors and seasonal staff in fast-moving environments. Doors may be used repeatedly throughout the day by people who do not know the building or recognise the hinge-side hazard.
Children are in unfamiliar surroundings
Participants may not know which doors are heavy, self-closing or located beside busy circulation routes.
Traffic peaks between activities
Dining, changing, registration and room transitions can send groups through the same doorways at once.
Staffing can change seasonally
Physical protection provides a consistent control measure even as teams, group leaders and participants change.
A visible, consistent safety measure supports confident day-to-day operations
Door finger guards help reduce exposure to a foreseeable hinge-side hazard. For operators responsible for multiple buildings, large groups or short-stay visitors, they can also support a clearer and more consistent door safety standard.

Why are holiday camps and activity centres higher-use environments?
Participants frequently move between accommodation, dining, changing and activity spaces. This can create concentrated periods of door use, particularly during arrivals, departures and group transitions.
Which doors should we protect first?
Start with doors used directly by children, high-traffic circulation routes, self-closing doors and areas where groups gather or supervision may be divided.
Why do you recommend Fingershield?
Fingershield is designed for demanding, high-use locations. It is securely screw fixed, tested to over two million opening and closing cycles, available in eight colours and backed by a five-year warranty.
Can we use Finger Saver on lower-risk doors?
Finger Saver may suit selected medium and lower-risk internal doors. For child-accessible, high-use and higher-risk locations, our recommended solution is Fingershield.
Can you support operators with several sites?
Yes. Our team can help you consider common priority locations and develop a more consistent approach across multiple camps, centres or facilities.
How often should fitted guards be checked?
Include door finger guards in routine safety inspections and pre-season checks. Look for wear, damage, loose fixings or anything that could affect performance, and replace products that are no longer fit for purpose.
Can Fingershield be fitted to fire doors?
Door compatibility should be checked as part of the specification and installation process. Contact our team with details of the door so we can advise on the most appropriate solution.
