The Finger Safe Sectional Door incorporates anti-pinch panel joint geometry designed to prevent finger entrapment at the hinge points between panels — a critical safety requirement for doors in public buildings, schools, residential garages and any environment where untrained users operate the door. The joint profile ensures that gaps between panels never exceed the threshold where fingers could be trapped during movement, complying with the entrapment-protection requirements of EN 12453 and EN 12604.
EN 13241 (the harmonized product standard for CE marking) explicitly requires protection against pinch, shear and draw-in risks for power-operated doors, along with controlled operating forces. RAX manufactures finger-safe sectional doors with 40–50 mm PU foam panels, galvanized steel skins (0.4–1.5 mm) and specially profiled hinge joints. Each door is validated in RAX’s 100,000-cycle fatigue lab to ensure the safety geometry remains effective throughout the door’s service life.

Finger-safe joints are essential for public-access buildings, schools, residential garages and any door operated by untrained users. Specify the usage context so we confirm the appropriate safety package.
RAX uses specially profiled panel edges that prevent gaps exceeding the finger-entrapment threshold at all articulation angles. The geometry is validated through 100,000-cycle fatigue testing.
Combine finger-safe joints with: anti-drop brake (spring-breakage device), bottom-edge air-bag or photoelectric sensor, and an operator with EN 12453-compliant force limiting.
For projects requiring safety documentation (public buildings, EU CE marking), we provide EN 12453 force test data and EN 13241 Declaration of Conformity with each order.
RAX supports full private-label production of the Finger-Safe Sectional Door: custom RAL panel colors, operator matching, packaging printing and installation-manual translation (EN/ES/FR/AR/RU). Start with an OEM sample and scale to container-load branded production. Custom molds, Tooling records are archived for up to 5 years — no extra tooling fee on repeat orders, all under strict NDA.
Safety in use of power-operated doors — defines operating force limits, entrapment protection requirements and test methods. RAX cites EN 12453 in its CE scope (held certification).
Mechanical aspects — requirements and test methods for door/gate mechanical safety. Central to sectional-door panel joint design, spring safety and track integrity.
Product standard requiring protection against pinch, shear and draw-in risks, controlled operating forces, and safe glazing. Basis for CE marking.
The panel edges are profiled so that at every articulation angle during opening/closing, the gap between adjacent panels never reaches a dimension where a finger could be trapped. This is a geometric design solution complemented by EN 12453 force-limiting on the operator.
EN 12453 (power-operated door safety — force limits and entrapment) and EN 12604 (mechanical aspects — panel joints, springs, tracks). EN 13241 references both as part of the CE marking requirements for industrial/garage doors.
For power-operated doors, best practice combines finger-safe joints with: an anti-drop brake, a bottom-edge sensor (air-bag or photoelectric), and an operator with EN 12453-compliant force limiting. RAX provides the full safety package.
Yes — finger-safe sectional doors are specifically recommended for residential and public-access applications where children or untrained users may operate the door. RAX produces garage-grade finger-safe doors from prototype to container-load.
No — pure manufacturer. Ships with English manual, wiring diagrams. Operators pre-set with correct force limits before dispatch.
CE EN 13241 and EN 12453 (held by RAX); ISO 9001:2015; SGS material reports. EN 12453 force test data provided per project.
