Check condition of door, ie hinges, its vertical plumbness etc. If in poor condition please call us before
fitting.
As 95% of doors are two metres high finger protecta is cut to 1.960 metres in length making cutting a very
rare requirement during fitting. If you need to cut to size ensure the finger protecta is not more than 20mm
short of the door top or bottom, unless fitting for toddlers only, ensure no more than 20mm from the
bottom.
Where footplates or kickplates are encountered always try to fit finger protecta device over them, except
in extreme cases where they are just too thick to get over and in these rare situations the installer must
bring the matter to the attention of the customer, who must then decide to either remove, cut and refit
the kick plate or run the risk of an accident.
