How the ejection system works
The Alumini guard’s clever semi-circular geometry eliminates the need for fabric tension and uses low-force springs to ensure minimal impact on the door’s opening force. The durable aluminium body floats within the door’s hinge gap while retracting fabric sections cover any remaining spaces.
If a finger should stray inside, Alumini’s patented finger-ejection system gently pushes it out, creating an active safety layer for busy environments such as schools, hospitals, and leisure centres.
- Effortless 180° Opening
The Alumini unrestricted opening angle allows the door to reach its full 180°, maximising accessibility and ensuring a clear opening width.
This feature supports Approved Document M compliance by maintaining ease of access without restricting movement. - Quick and Simple Installation
Alumini fits quickly and securely to existing doors, and installation takes only 10 minutes. This retrofit design provides a cost-effective solution for adding reliable finger protection to hinged doors without disrupting day-to-day operations. - Low Maintenance, High Durability
Crafted from tough aluminium, Alumini is resistant to daily wear, bumps, and scrapes.
It maintains its functionality and appearance over time, reducing maintenance costs and keeping doors safe and visually appealing. Unlike plastic and rubber options, the Alumini guard’s smooth, non-porous surface wipes clean easily, supporting high hygiene standards in healthcare and educational settings.
Outperforming Traditional Finger Guards
In high-traffic environments, choosing the proper finger protection is essential.
Here’s how Alumini offers advantages over common alternatives:
Plastic Finger Guards While inexpensive initially, plastic guards can crack and degrade quickly in busy spaces, becoming a recurring expense due to frequent replacements. Once compromised, these guards lose their protective function, putting users at risk and leading to costly maintenance cycles. In contrast, Alumini’s aluminium construction lasts the door’s lifetime, saving facilities approximately £500-£1,000 per door over time.
Rubber Finger Guards Rubber guards are flexible but lack the robust structure needed for high-impact environments. They often collect dust and grime in their folds, requiring regular cleaning. Additionally, their material can stretch and weaken over time, allowing fingers to enter the gap. Alumini’s design overcomes these issues with a rigid aluminium structure and retracting fabric that doesn’t trap dirt or degrade, ensuring consistent safety and hygiene.

Alumini-rear: Enhanced Protection
Alumini-rear is our hinge-knuckle guard. It protects fingers on the 'pull' side of doors by filling the dangerous gap created by standard hinged doors. It replicates the door's shape for complete, static protection.
For doors that open to 180°, especially those in the middle of a wall, the hinge knuckle guard is highly recommended.
Alumini-rear is supplied in a standard length. It can be cut to size and fitted in just 10 minutes, ensuring quick and easy installation.
