MK1B is a finger trap guard for the hinge pin side of the door. It is one of Fingersafe door safety products and will fit over a standard parliament hinge and can also be adapted for larger openings.

Initially developed for the American government, this model fixes to the door frame and outside edge of the door, forming a protective seal over the hinge. The company can supply special models to cover parliament hinges.

Please note: not all doors require this product. If a door opens onto a wall, MK1B will not be required, as the gap on that side cannot be accessed.

If the hinge side can be accessed, then check that there is a gap wide enough to allow a small finger to be inserted. If not, MK1B will not be needed.

The guard is offered in a range of colours, including blue, cream, caramel, black, yellow, white, red, dark grey, light grey, green and dark brown.
