Door Edge Protectors

Door edge protectors are necessary to save on door maintenance costs, keep you compliant, and enhance your doors’ appearance, especially if used in tandem with our door protection panels.

Door edges quickly become damaged in busy areas due to continuous opening and closing, causing general wear and tear to the door’s edge.

However, a quality internal door edge protector minimises the effect of everyday damage, ensuring your doors remain in pristine condition.

By installing Yeoman Shield’s door edge protectors, you prevent both the meeting edge and hinge edge of your doors from sustaining impact damage.

Door Edge Damage

On top of wear from constant opening and closing, the pushing open of doors with trolleys, equipment and even feet can cause severe damage to the existing door edges.

Door edges can easily splinter, posing a health and safety hazard.

Fire door edge protection

This kind of damage can be particularly detrimental to a fire door, as it can prevent intumescent smoke and fire seals from performing as they should in the unfortunate event of a fire.

With Yeoman Shield’s door edge protectors, you can save on maintenance and repair costs, ensuring your doors remain fire safety compliant.

The structural integrity of fire doors in a facility is imperative for the safety of the building and the people inside it, and consistent wear and tear to doors in your facility can result in non-compliance with your fire doors.

Provided the damage is not too severe, an internal door edge protector can bridge the gap between door and frame, ensuring fire compliance and offering tired doors an aesthetic boost.

Why door edge protection?

Yeoman Shield’s fire-rated door edge protectors have a toughened 9mm PVCu inner strengthening core to help absorb impact damage to the most vulnerable parts of a door.

For application to fire-rated doors, our edge protectors also include intumescent seals by the fire door’s specification to ensure correct performance in the event of a fire.

(N.B. Yeoman Shield door edge guards can be provided without seals for use on non-fire-rated doors.)
