Sentinel
Sentinel is an innovative hand and finger protection
solution that allows specifiers and architects to achieve
outstanding performance, without compromising design or
architectural integrity.
 For some time the hinge
edge of a door has been seen as a possible area of harm for
children, with a potential risk of finger-trapping. Now,
Leaderflush Shapland has developed an innovative new finger
and hand protection system, Sentinel (patent pending).
Sentinel uses a discreet pivoted design with decorative
timber elements as an integral part of the doorset, and is
ideal for educational environments, nurseries, health
centres, hospitals and commercial applications.
Seals and essential ironmongery are included, eliminating
the risk of certification problems. This integral solution
not only satisfies important performance requirements -
compliant opening forces, fire resistance of up to 60
minutes and the acoustic requirements in schools of 30 RwdB
but also adds an option for a unique, contemporary, modern
design for timber doorsets. It also negates the need for
on-site trades fitting retro-fit components.
Sentinel is the result of three leading building product
manufacturers working together and drawing on their
extensive experience and product development expertise:
Leaderflush Shapland, the UK's leading bespoke doorset
manufacturer with an in-depth understanding of the education
sector; GEZE, one of the world's leading developers and
manufacturers of building technology products and safety
systems for doors and windows; and Lorient, a world leader
in sealing systems providing fire protection, smoke control
and acoustic insulation for door assemblies.
With all materials used in the manufacture either FSC
accredited or FSC neutral, Sentinel is environmentally
friendly as well as being one of the most effective and
unobtrusive finger protection solutions in the marketplace.
