Injuries range from crushing, bruising and fractures to amputation; however, every finger trapping incident is likely to cause pain and distress.
We’re really proud of the awards and commendations we’ve won, the great feedback from customers and that we’re helping to protect little fingers in more and more households”
LONDON, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Annual statistics indicate that over 30,000 children visited UK hospital accident and emergency departments and over 600,000 in the USA with finger/thumb injuries caused by doors and door frames with more than 1,500 needing some form of surgery.— Marc Ward
Jamm Doorstop was founded in 2011 in St Ives, Cornwall, after Marc and Coralie’s three-year-old son, Oscar,
jammed his fingers in a door at home. He’s was not alone. Many children visit hospital every year with injuries to their
fingers from doors and door frames. Nearly half of those children are under the age of four and it is this age group that is most likely to suffer the most serious injuries including those requiring amputation. And protecting little fingers from the hinge side of a door is even more important than
the handle side – a closing door creates 40 tonnes of pressure at the hinge side.
After Oscar’s accident, the hunt for a reliable doorstop that would jam their doors in both directions proved fruitless. Traditional doorstops are wedge shaped and only hold the door in one direction.
So ‘dadpreneur’ Marc set about inventing a new kind of doorstop that could be trusted 100% to jam a door in both directions. After 18 months and 14 prototypes the Jamm doorstop was born. With a unique and patented design, doors sit snug in a curved ‘trough’, fully jammed in either direction.
All it takes is a quick slide under the front edge of the open door and a grown-up push!
From the start, Marc was determined to create a UK designed and manufactured product which could protect little fingers worldwide.
They are manufactured in the UK to ISO9001 standards, from food grade plastic, and come in four colours and two sizes (to accommodate different door heights). The packaging is Eco friendly, with no glue, staples or plastic, and the instructions for safe use are printed on the inside of the packaging, so it’s designed to be kept, not dumped.
Marc says, “We’re delighted with the success of Jamm doorstops so far. We’re really proud of the awards and commendations we’ve won, and the great feedback from customers. Most of all though, we’re proud that we’re helping to protect little fingers in more and more households, because that’s why we make them.”
The facts
More than little fingers
! Perfect for pet owners as pets can’t remove Jamm doorstops, preventing them being trapped in
rooms away from their food and water. Jamm doorstops are also chew-proof (well not quite
chew proof but very hard to dislodge from under the door - they can’t be chewed when under
the door. )
! Help prevent crush injuries among the elderly, who may hold door frames for balance.
! Ideal for painters and carpenters to hold doors in place while they are worked on with both
hands. For example, replacing wobbly chisels and blocks of wood when hanging doors.
