I. How to choose safe door closers
1、Examine the material's construction.
When selecting "U-shaped" safety door seals, it is recommended to choose products made from EVA material. EVA material is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, durable, and has excellent elasticity and moisture resistance, making it safe for babies and preventing indoor pollution caused by harmful substances. In terms of structure, there are two options available:
(1) Fixing Slots: These "U-shaped" door hinges have fixed slots that cannot be adjusted, limiting their applicability. Therefore, the user must purchase door hinges with corresponding slot sizes based on the door's thickness.
(2) Adjustable Strike Plate: This type of door strike plate allows for size adjustment, enabling users to match the strike plate dimensions to the thickness of the door. It is suitable for a wide range of doors and windows, providing greater convenience.
2、Smell the odor
Some inferior products have a pungent odor. When selecting, sniff them to check for a plastic-like smell. Avoid products with a noticeable odor. High-quality products do not have this odor. Prolonged exposure to the odor of inferior products can be harmful to the body, and if accidentally ingested by a child, it can also be harmful to the child.
3、 Rotate it
When selecting, choose door seals with high elasticity and tear resistance. Squeeze and twist the door seals to assess their elasticity and deformation. If they do not quickly return to their original shape after deformation, avoid purchasing these types of door seals. Pull or twist the door seals with force to test their tear resistance. If they are easily broken, avoid purchasing these types of door seals.
4、Measure width and thickness
When selecting, observe the width and thickness of the door seal. Thicker and wider door seals are more secure and durable than thin ones. Therefore, when purchasing, measure the width and thickness of the door seal. Generally, a thickness of 2~2.5cm and a width of 8cm or more are recommended.
Two. How to use the safety door wedge.
Most security door stoppers are "U"-shaped, featuring cartoon characters like dogs, bears, and pigs, and are installed on the sides of the door. These stoppers are typically made from environmentally friendly EVA material, which offers excellent cushioning, shock absorption, insulation, moisture resistance, and chemical resistance. EVA is also non-toxic and non-absorbent.
Another type of safety door stopper is installed at the bottom of the door, creating a gap between the door and the floor. This design secures the door in place, utilizing the arched, elastic shape of the product to apply downward pressure. Two soft plastic friction pads on the underside of the door stopper ensure a tight fit against the floor, preventing movement and thus securing the door's position.
Three. important safety precautions when using safety door seals.
When using door jammers, improper use or placement can easily lead to a loss of their protective function. Therefore, when using them, it is important to pay attention to the following:
1、Pay attention to the usage time of the door seal.
Door seals lose their elasticity and flexibility over time, becoming loose or detached from the door, reducing or eliminating their protective function. Regularly check door seals for looseness and replace them promptly if necessary.
2. Do not use the door strip as a toy.
Safety door locks primarily serve a protective function, not a play function. Parents should not allow young children to play with cartoon-shaped safety door locks, as this could lead to a habit of crying and demanding to remove the locks whenever they see them.
3. Should be applied in a position higher than the door and window frames.
Colorful safety door locks in vibrant hues of red, green, and yellow can attract babies' attention. However, if placed at a low level, babies can easily reach and remove them, rendering them ineffective as a protective measure.
