NGP 2248DKB-82IN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an 82 inch NGP finger guard fit a standard 7 foot door opening?
Yes. The 2248DKB is cut to 82 inches specifically for 7 foot openings, which leaves clearance for the frame head stop at the top and the undercut at the bottom of the door. If your opening is taller or shorter, NGP builds these to custom lengths from 12 inches up to 86 inches.
2) Can a door finger guard be used on a fire rated door?
The woven polyethylene fabric on the NGP finger guard is fire resistant and rated up to 3 hours on metal doors and 1 hour on wood doors. That is the limit on the guard itself, so a metal opening carrying a 3 hour label and a wood opening carrying a 1 hour label are both covered.
3) Which side of the door does the NGP finger guard mount on, and what screws come with it?
It mounts on the push side of the door, over the hinge gap. The kit ships with #6 x 1/2 inch Tek self-drilling screws, so on a hollow metal door you can fasten straight through without pre-drilling. Nothing else is required to hang it.
4) Will a hinge side finger guard still let the door open all the way?
The NGP guard is built for doors swinging up to 180 degrees. An internal spring keeps constant tension on the fabric through the whole swing, so the fabric pays out as the door opens and retracts as it closes rather than bunching or hanging loose at wide openings.
5) What is the cross-brand equivalent to the NGP 2248DKB finger guard?
Trimco's K39 Series finger guards cover the same job as the NGP 2248DKB: a hinge-side barrier that keeps fingers out of the gap behind the door edge. The NGP 2248DKB is an 82 inch unit with a dark bronze anodized aluminum housing and a spring mechanism holding tension on fire resistant woven polyethylene fabric, rated up to 3 hours on metal doors and 1 hour on wood doors, and it suits doors swinging up to 180 degrees. If a facility standard calls for the Trimco K39, confirm the K39 configuration matches the leaf height and swing you are protecting before ordering either one.
6) What actually stops a child's fingers from getting caught in the hinge gap?
A woven polyethylene fabric spans the gap behind the door edge, and an internal spring in the anodized aluminum housing keeps it taut on an endless cycle as the door moves. Fingers can't reach into the pinch area behind the hinge edge because the fabric closes it off. That's why these go into childcare rooms and senior living units.
7) What other brand of door finger guard could I use instead of NGP?
Trimco makes the K39 Series finger guards, which is the other line we stock for hinge side finger protection. If you're standardizing a building on one look, pick a line and stay with it, since the NGP unit here is a fixed dark bronze anodized housing with black polyethylene fabric.
8) Can a door sweep or gasket be used instead of an NGP 2248DKB finger guard?
No. The NGP 2248DKB is a hinge side finger guard: a spring loaded housing that keeps fire resistant woven polyethylene fabric under constant tension across the gap behind the door edge so fingers cannot enter it. Gasketing and sweeps seal the perimeter for smoke, sound, light, or weather; they do not span the hinge gap and provide no pinch protection. The only true alternative is another finger guard, such as the Trimco K39 Series.
9) Is the dark bronze NGP finger guard suitable for exterior or high moisture openings?
The housing is anodized aluminum in a dark bronze finish, which gives it corrosion resistance for commercial duty. The fabric is black polyethylene. It is specified as a commercial product, not a residential one, so it is built for traffic volumes you'd see in a school, clinic or apartment corridor.
