PinchNot Commercial Door Pinch Guard Cardinal Gates CSP41 PVC Foam

Description

Product Overview

The PinchNot CSP41 commercial door pinch guard, proudly manufactured by Cardinal Gates, is engineered to protect the most vulnerable users—children and anyone with delicate fingers—from the hidden danger of door hinge pinches. Constructed from high‑density polyvinyl chloride (PVC) foam, the guard offers a soft yet resilient barrier that absorbs impact while maintaining a low profile that blends seamlessly with any door surface. Measuring 68 inches in length and 8.4 inches in width, the guard is sized to cover the full hinge area of standard interior and commercial doors, ensuring complete coverage without obstructing door operation. The product is finished in a clean white hue, providing a neutral aesthetic that complements a wide range of décor styles. With a lightweight design weighing just 13.1 ounces, installation is effortless and does not add noticeable load to the door. The guard is backed by a pressure‑sensitive adhesive that secures firmly to the door while allowing clean removal without leaving residue or damaging the paint or finish.

Usage

Designed for high‑traffic environments, the PinchNot door guard is ideal for homes, daycares, schools, hospitals, hotels, and office buildings where doors are opened and closed frequently. Parents can install the guard on bedroom doors, bathroom doors, and entryways to prevent accidental finger pinches during the daily rush of getting ready for school or bedtime. In commercial settings, the guard serves as a proactive safety measure for employees and visitors, especially in areas where doors swing 90 or 180 degrees and where the hinge is exposed. The peel‑and‑stick application means that caregivers, facility managers, or DIY enthusiasts can affix the guard in under two minutes without the need for drills, screws, or professional assistance. Because the adhesive is formulated to be non‑invasive, the guard can be repositioned during the installation process to achieve perfect alignment, and it can be removed later without leaving unsightly marks, making it a flexible solution for both permanent and temporary safety needs.

FAQ

How do I determine the correct size for my door?

Measure the thickness of the door and note whether it swings 90 degrees or 180 degrees. If the door is less than 1 3/8 inches thick and swings 90 degrees, the standard 9‑inch guard fits perfectly. For thicker doors or 180‑degree swing doors, consider ordering a larger size or contacting Cardinal Gates for a custom solution.

Can the guard be removed without damaging the door?

Yes. The adhesive is designed for clean removal. When you need to relocate or remove the guard, gently peel it away starting at a corner. Any remaining adhesive residue can be wiped away with a mild soap solution, leaving the door surface intact.

Is the guard suitable for outdoor doors?

While the guard is weather‑resistant, it is optimized for indoor use where temperature and humidity are controlled. For exterior doors exposed to rain, direct sunlight, or extreme temperature fluctuations, we recommend a guard specifically rated for outdoor conditions.

What maintenance is required?

The guard requires minimal upkeep. Periodically wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can degrade the PVC foam over time.

Does the product meet any safety certifications?

Yes. The PinchNot guard complies with ASTM F 2092‑19 standards for child safety devices and has been tested for impact resistance and material durability. Certification details are available upon request.
