Finger Guard Clear - Installation Guide
How to install Clear Finger Guard.
1. Open the door and thoroughly clean and dry the door and frame, ensuring that no grease or other residues remain.
2. Close the door. Lightly draw with a pencil two vertical lines, one on the door exactly 3.5 cm from the corner, and one on the door frame exactly 5 cm from the corner, up to a height of 1.2 mtr from the floor.
3a. Open the door at exactly 45 degrees and remove the protective paper from one adhesive strip. Attach the adhesive strip to the doorframe just inside the guideline, ensuring that the bottom of the strip is no more than 0.5 cm above the floor. Remove the protective paper from the second adhesive strip and attach it to the door. (See Drawing 3a and 3b)
The strips can also be nailed or screwed into place through the grooves in the edging strips. If the door or doorframe has water-based paint the strips must be screwed or nailed into place.
• If used in children’s day care centers, crèches or play centers the strips should be screwed or nailed into place every 30 cm.
4. To ensure correct adhesion, rub your fingers firmly up and down the adhesive strips for 2 minutes. Then close the door and do not open for at least 15 minutes. If the above installation instructions of placement of strips at 3.5 cm and 5 cm from the corner of the door are not followed properly, a gap may result making the strips less effective, which may result in an accident.
CAUTION
• Do not open doors fitted with Finger Alert Strips more than 110°. Install door stoppers if necessary to avoid damage to the door and doorframe. If the door is opened more than 110°, the strips are likely to tear off from the door.• Check the strips to ensure continued strong adhesion regularly, at a minimum of every 3 months beginning the third month after installation.
• Removing the adhesive strips may cause damage to surface finishes and paintwork. To prevent damage, the strips must be pulled off carefully, lengthwise, at a 90° angle from the door.
