Keeping a child safe from danger is an incredibly important responsibility. We are proud
to have helped in the manufacturing of a safe, durable and economical child safety gate featuring convenience, strength, and security.
Application
North States Industries is a leading producer of residential protective gates. SFR Industries' development team and North States Industries designed a cover for a child safety gate that telescopically expands and collapses.
 Challenge
The manufacturing of this special feature was not going to be an easy feat due to the independent production of each component part. The component assembly required special techniques to maintain consistency while minimizing costs in competing with off-shore competitors.
Approach
Extensive cooperation during the design phase resulted in component dimensional consistency, minimizing the assembly costs.
Result
The ultimate design included three interlocking plastic profiles with stops and holes. All parts were assembled and thoroughly quality checked at SFR Industries. This allowed North States Industries to forgo incoming quality checks and quickly send the parts directly to the production line. The child safety gate has performed exceptionally well and continues to supply safety to many residential homes. |
