Door Protection Barriers & Door Guards –
Internal & External Security Solutions
Door protection barriers, also known as door guards, are
designed to protect both doors and building structures by preventing doors from
overextending or slamming into adjacent walls. These durable barriers offer
critical protection for door hinges, door frames, and interior/exterior walls,
significantly reducing maintenance and repair costs in high-traffic
environments.
Ideal for use on single and double doors, our door guards
are suitable for a wide range of settings including schools, hospitals, office
buildings, and commercial premises.
Prevent Damage & Improve Safety with Door
Guards
External door guards are particularly valuable in areas
with heavy footfall, such as educational facilities and workplace entrances,
where repeated door use can result in long-term damage. These barriers prevent
the door from being pushed too far open, helping to:
- Protect
doors and hinges from excessive stress
- Prevent
damage to surrounding walls and finishes
- Reduce
maintenance frequency and cost
- Enhance
pedestrian safety by shielding those exiting the building from oncoming
traffic
In environments like schools and nurseries, door guards
also serve as a protective barrier, reducing the risk of accidents as children
exit the building into areas where vehicles may be present.
Optional Features for Enhanced Functionality
To improve performance and user experience, we offer
several optional enhancements for our door guards:
- Rubber
bump stops – cushion the impact of fast-opening doors to minimise noise
and vibration
- Integrated
door latches – hold doors in the open position, ideal for classrooms,
corridors, and public buildings
- DDA-compliant
tapping rails / cane rails – improve accessibility for partially sighted
users
These features are particularly useful in environments
where doors are frequently used by children or vulnerable adults, such as schools,
colleges, care homes, and medical centres.
