Safe French Doors

A French door incorporates one or more rectangular panels of glass into the design. These are often separated by partitions, traditionally constructed from wood or wrought iron, but now including UPVC, common in sliding patio doors, fiberglass, and steel, commonly used for both homes and business premises where security is an issue.

These glass panels could be made of frosted or transparent glass, and modern French doors are usually double or triple glazed for extra insulation and durability.

Now, the durability and security in regard to the burglars is one issue, but again the security of a person using these French doors is a different issue. What if you are enjoying a cup of coffee sitting in your conservatory room and you are unaware of the sudden wind that blows and embeds a forced shutdown to your French door , hurting your child who’s playing at the edge of it. Certainly the child gets over an accident that’s unexpected for everyone.

Do you know every year about 40,000 children are there who get hurt by their doors which get shutdown by mistake? Same is the case with French patio doors too.

Do you know a closing door can exert a pressure of 40 tons per square inch between the hinges as it closes? Thats enough to cut steel!!

Just forget about the medical treatments and the insurance claims that you can get done for your child, after such happenings, rather think of what if your child looses its finger or damages other body part, by such accident and physiologically the effects can last for ever.
