They should add batteries and make it vibrate. I’m sure moms would buy it then.
Moms.
@@chaimbradley1 corrected. Apologies English is only my 4th language. From Belgium so first Dutch, then French, then German and then English.
How is adding batteries and a vibrating mechanism going to make moms buy it? It will just make the product more expensive and the only thing that I could see the vibrating be useful for is… ohwaitaminute

They invented 'An object hanging from a string' and sell it for £20
tiny wedge or a bloody doorstop
Wine cork on a string
Ive got 29 internal doors in my property..
How the other half live 😂😂😂
Yeah, and her company lost £1 million last financial year.
@@Marais-cu3vo she is likely in debt up to her doorstep 😂 anyone who instantly can tell you they have 29 doors is clearly a person who likes to show off…after all who cares 😂
@@Marais-cu3vo yet she's sat there are you're sat there 😉
I got 4😂
@@jamestonkin8610not for long if her company keeps performing like it is 😂
They patented something no one wants to design or copy
They also need to pay annual fees to keep this patent. Companies give up patents on dated solutions to save paying the fee.
It has already been solved with stretchy fabric - we have them installed on all our internal doors.
UPDATE: their last company statement showed debts for £60,000. The couple are also directors in another company in the wholesale of perfumes and cosmetics with debts of £17,000.
Debt is not unusual for any company and nor is it always unhealthy. That 60,000 is literally just a number with no context.
But their P/L is positive right? Need to look at their equity part too
Great business acumen then😂😂 but these are the type of people that will jump from business to business leaving massive debt in there wake..
You knows them well, must be their cousin
@@SmVor no. Everything is available online in Companies House.
All i can say is ”magic wand” 😂
Yeah 😂
You've definitely had a few magical experiences ✨
yes 2 mis with that youll be praying to god
you said it fr😄
😩😩😩🥴🥴🥴🥴
If it were triangle shaped and magnetic with a little metal sticker that goes in the door jam it would solve Peter's issue of having to open the door wider than a toddler would need
I thought the pitch was gonna be for a different device 👀
Lol!!!!! It’s a joy forever 😂
It looks like a giant tampon thing
this reminds me when i invented the breathable condom, It didn't quite work
🤣
😅😅
Reminds me when I opened an abortion clinic in Saudi....😅
"how the other half live" I do like Steven's cheekiness!
5:37 - 'Back to the drawing board' face.
Seems like overkill. Why not just fit a flow signal?
This will save lives
It's Amber in colour
You win funniest comment of 2024 😂🎉
Or hang seaweed
😂
I think it's a bit naive saying the Dragon's "don't understand the problem". They clearly did, they all acknowledged that. They didn't invest because it's a flawed product that's too expensive. Fix that and they probably have a market.
rather than stop the door closing on their fingers, wouldn't it be smarter to design of a flat collapsable wedge to stop them being able to trap their fingers at all?
those are fitted on a lot of fast food restaurants.
why not just put padded mittens on the baby’s hands, to make sure they’re protected at all times? heck, why not just wrap the baby in bubble wrap? haha
They’re indians
29 doors in a house, she thinks everyone is like her...
It's amazing how quickly door numbers pile up, but yeah, 29 is on the upper scale
I really don't think she does. But she tried to prove a point by stating how much it would cost to fit every door in her house with this device. Which is equally silly because you can probably afford these silly ballsacks if you have a 29 door home.
To be fair, I think she was just pointing out how expensive it would be to fully child proof your house using this product. I’m in a two bedroom house and it would cost me about £100 to have one of these on each of my internal doors.
Did you include closets and bathrooms? Because that means you're probably in a one-bedroom apartment. 10 to 15 doors is not unusual for small house.
@@Benjamin1986980 yeah, she lives in 2 bed apt, slums
Wow! What an awkward over-complicated device that you need on every door in the house and if you forget to swing it away every time you close the door you will soon rip the door off its hinges especially if the wind catches it. How often to kids really get their fingers caught in a door? I think car doors are the more likely to catch a child's hand in and these wouldn't work for those, nor for cupboards, drawers, etc where I expect most of the crush injuries actually occur.
If anything, You will end trapping ur own fingers in the door by swinging that thing every time u have to close the door.
It's not overcomplicated. It's solving an actual issue.
@@TheManInBlueFlamesit's really not. The door can be opened enough for a little kids to get through without the device working.
Are you sure it would rip off the door doesn't look like it
More to the point, when and how would this come into play? If every time you would use it you have to stop it from working in order to close the door, then it has no use cases. Kids would more often than not only get their fingers caught when following someone else through a door
If you want to be overprotective... Take the door off... 😊😊😊
ONE UNMARKETABLE TOMATO
That’s what my boss calls me 😊🚫🍅🥫
No more than one unmarketable tomato 🍅
It's marketable if you give them different colours and shapes for each stopper.
This just made me scream lmaooo love that video
Looks like a perfect way to wreck the door hinge. And if the door holds, the device will crack like a Hazelnut and you gotta order another 89 pound gadget to crack.
It will wreck the hinges.
thats exactly what I thought mate
I have this device and had to return it because it split the wood the hinges are mounted on. It's a horrible device.
You know how they learn to keep their fingers out of door jams and closing drawers on them? They get their fingers caught once. That’s all they need to understand to be more careful. Like touching fire. They know after one time.
True, but sadly it can cause permanent damage.
You mean losing a finger to learn a lesson? 😂
This is the same way I teach my kids why car crashes are bad!
yep, the way my kids learn not to pour boiling water on themselves after messing with pots on the stove is to get 3rd degree burns one single time
You people are weak@@Eyeball-with-legs
PLEASE tell me he's a better surgeon than he is a product designer!
Why? What do you need done 🤔😜
He's a better surgeon than he is a product designer.
He did amzainf worg on mi fongerz
He’ll make sure you come again
I’m afraid not. I had an operation on my leg and woke up with 4 arms!
Would a wine Cork and string not do the same
A tampon would work the same too
Peter has become the new Theo and identifying design flaws.
There's something off and archaic about it. And with enough pressure, it will slowly ruin the hinges. Toddlers lean up against doors and things, and slam them shut. How many times does that happen until the door busts off the hinges? You also have to reach over to the other side of the door every time you wanna get it out. That would be so annoying. How many times do you wanna do that every day, for a decade or so? There's gotta be something better you can do on the handle side. I can already imagine a bunch of designs that could work on the handle side.
Childproofing the house is easy. Do absolutely nothing. They will learn. Wonderful little creatures. Even if they are little less at smart side, they will learn this. Pain is such a great motivator.
Looks like a viberator
So close. They just need that same product made of a much thinner steel rod with magnet sticky pads on the door face or frame to dock it to when not wanted.
This! I was able to visualize till redesigning it in a discreet manner to fit into that narrow opening, but I was wondering how tricky it would be to remove it for closing the door every time.. your comment answered my doubt... but even then, there is a risk..
"And now please I will demonstrate the vibrate function on my wife"
-All dragons make an offer.
Lol
ha
7:30
Nice humble brag 😂
3:50 she is def thinkin hitachi😂😂
if you feel the need to protect your kids from doors your crazy
Time to find out which dragon has been unusually quiet
29 internal doors? I have more. (Like cupboards and counting both sides of a doors).
It's 4:50 am. This will not work
Most door crush injuries occur in cars not homes
I find it quite impressive that she knows the exact amount of doors in her house by heart. I have 5, and even I have to count in my head.
I wonder what story is behind that very specific piece of knowledge.
wait... my grandmother used the same idea using her old toothbrush 25 years ago 😂 ...You patented an idea who is not even yours 😂
Hanging a pen tied to a string would do the same thing if not better
I'll use a Tampon on the door
Oh - it's a great tool hanging in front of the door to e.g. break a glass door... plus it looks like a... pleasure device :D
maybe it was initially designed a pleasure device
The problem is not the design but the location of where the string is tied onto the device
Even if this somehow worked and was something people wanted, what where they thinking with that price? It's insane.. It's a piece of plastic on a string
“Saftey” 🤣
And there's me thinking at first it's a gadget for the lady's....
I've 29 internal doors in my house, oh la la 😏
I cant see people actually buying this for every door in their house!
Certainly not at £19 a pop. It would cost me about 100 quid. Sara was right, there are much cheaper and more practical alternatives out there.
@@ianrae1546 they said it was _£89!_
They already sell side plates that connects with the door and wall and covers the whole door.
0:54 Peter tries to do the math in his head.
There is a typo in the thumbnail of this video.
Peter...😂👍💯
Sara has enough money to buy fingers for her kids.
she was in the news yesterday because her company is now £1 million in debt
@@Fuckethead really
I discovered a flaw in the spelling of SAFETY in your thumbnail.
A piece of string and ANY object of suitable size
seems like you could just make soft close hinges like they do for cabinets..
It looks like a vibrating wand
All they have to do is shorten the string 😅
I don't understand what that offers compared to any random object hanging from a string.
I could go into my shed and build that same device with a piece of string screwed into a 20cm piece of dowel....
This comment is too far down. I instantly saw a "dowel on string" too.
But if the toddler is squeezing through the tiny gap how are their fingers in the gap to be crushed, seems like a minuscule risk stacked on top of a rare chance.
if the string was almost half way down instead of on the top it would make the thin part fall in the hinge side first 🤷♂
Let's 3D print one and check it out...
Anyone thinking what I’m thinking 🤣
My exterior doors open inwards. Am I supposed to hang these outside my house?
2:35 - did they just show us how to make our own? Imagine that's a small rubber ball instead of a pepper. Looks like you just need a paperclip and a string plus some piece of rubber material you can attach.
at this point this is literally a scam way too expensive and doesnt work lmfao
Pops the hinges
There is an episode where a guy invented a new kind of bra that caught on fire during the demo.
I've never heard of any case in which anyone has caught their fingers in the hinge space of a door.
Then you don’t have kids
Same.
Could literally just copy that design with some household items for like 10 cents.
I put a string on a carrot. 20p, not £20.
I spotted a spelling FLAW in the thumbnail! 😂😂
this product is what we in Brazil call a gambiarra :)
What if I am carrying a plate.. and I have to do that pendulum thing to shut the door behind me… lucky it doesn’t work or that would get really annoying… 🤦♂️
0:36 Notice the hand in the front. She is the dominant one in the relationship.
Northern people problems,
"I have 29 internal doors inmy house"
I have 4..
29 doors. Shame.
Saying that you hold a patent in China is like admitting to buying a plot of land on the moon...
Hahah indeed.
Clever simple solution, but waaaaay to expensive!
What I like to do to prevent the kids trapping their fingers is remove all the doors.
Just attach a bean bag to the bottom of your doors. Friction is science. :D
It’s a skittle on a bit of string
7:30 tell me you're out of touch with the average person without telling me you're out of touch with the average person.
Lmao. Tbf she’s not wrong though, obviously 29 is insane but even a few doors gets expensive if these are 20 dollars each, especially when you could probably stitch together a better product with some string and a wine cork
Kids barge thru the door and they don't shut them.
29 doors LMFAO! 😂
Sara has 20 doors in her house wow she lives in a castle 😮
not necessarily, i live in a 3 bedroom house and we have 12 doors all together, obviously she lives in a bigger house but it is not that much if you consider how many doors a normal house has
@@raphael9485 I live in a small rancher with a basement and counted 13 doors in my house
29
It's not that big if u think about it. Moderate sized housed
Think we have about 25 odd
Spelt “SAFTEY” wrong in the thumbnail…
No they didn’t
Hahaha
@@NoNo-uy2bqYes they did.
@@me-myself-i787 could’ve sworn it was spelt right for a minute
“I have 29 doors in my house so, naturally, 500 pounds is too expensive for me… and I think the other struggling parents with 29 door houses will agree… I’m out.”
How did she do her whole house for £10 would love to know
Their mark one prototype, i suspect was a brick!
:p
I have a special needs son who often slams car doors I've broken 4 fingers over the years an adapted version for car doors would be a brilliant product
I had two fingers crushed and severed in the hinge side of a door when I was ten years old, Palatis and Citi should have taken me on the den with them to show the damage it can cause.
Great.
@@Geoglyph89 isn't it just? You should have seen the blood, it was magnificent.
Okay so just because you got your hand crushed it's a good product. Got it... f*cking useless.
2:58 So if they hadn't cleaned their own door, she wouldn't have invested? lMAO
4:45
7:15
9:40
Toddler wouldn't even be able to open a door peter Jones you are tripping
You underestimate toddlers 😂😂😂 Kids 18 months plus learn how to open doors with all types of handles. The only thing that prevents them is if the door is heavy and opens inward, like a front door usually does
Why not teach your kids about door saftey and levels (which is what a door is) etc.
You obviously don't have young children lol
No wonder the NHS is crumbling
This comments section has been a blast 😅
Their product is a rubber thing with a piece of string.
There are so gadgets doing this now.
It won 7 awards. I bet that cost them a pretty penny
Mmmm
