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.

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.

As an integral part of the Sentinel doorset, the scalloped profile brings the following key advantages:

• Prevents the crushing and shearing of fingers (adults and children)
• An integral robust solution to reduce the potential for misuse or vandalism and ensure long-term reliability
• Fully complies with Building Regulations and can be incorporated into all BSF design applications
• Achieves 30 RwdB making it ideal for classroom entrance doorsets
• Cannot be forcibly removed, negating the cost of ongoing replacement
• Offers wide choice of design aesthetics to the specifier/designer
• Modern design and smooth line profile is ideal for design-led environments
• Provides creative freedom and flexibility for specifiers and designers
• Extended product life and reduced maintenance costs
• Ergonomic, smooth design has no dirt traps enabling easy cleaning and the lacquer contains Hygienilac® anti-bacterial protection
• Traditional retro-fit finger guards often increase required opening force, whereas Sentinel complies with Approved Document M and BS8300.
