A somewhat strange question: We are planning to install a tiled stove in the living-dining area. This stove will be fired from the hallway directly behind it. We have a small child who will soon be walking actively. The tiled stove itself does not get very hot (it has no glass window), but the loading door in the hallway certainly will. How can a guard be installed here? Surely I am not the only one with this problem. What options are there to prevent anyone from getting burned at this fireplace in the hallway? Thanks!

Sometimes I wonder how we all managed to grow up. Without fall protection on the stairs, without safety devices in the sockets, without guards in front of the stove...

Even if it’s way off-topic, when it comes to questions like this, I can’t help but think of this:



Sorry, to the OP. Don’t take it the wrong way. Of course you have to do something for the safety of your children, but you can also overdo it.
Children (including toddlers) are not stupid and are quite capable of learning. If a child is big enough to walk, it will also understand that it hurts when you touch there.

Thank you very much for all the suggestions, which I can however completely disregard! I don’t know what some people have to do, but for posts like these, I find the time too precious...

A married couple I know had exactly the same problem. Their 2-year-old son slipped back then and just briefly fell face-first against the heating door with a glass insert and unfortunately also supported himself with his hands at the time. The consequences this had apparently can’t be imagined by those scribblers above; when the child looks in the mirror, it will be reminded of it for a lifetime. Sure, one can exaggerate it, sure it may happen maybe 1 time out of 1000. But when it happens, it quickly goes... Man, we should have thought about a little door or a gate or something. I also didn’t grow up overly sheltered, but accidents happen, most of them end up going off lightly. Still, thanks of course for the helpful tips...?

You wrote it yourself. Accidents happen and luckily something like that only occurs very rarely. There won’t be a perfect solution for that. You’ll probably just have to build a fence around it. I don’t see any other solution. But as I said, you can minimize risks, but not completely eliminate them.
