Future Directions

Results of Testing

From the results of the tests, it has been concluded that the best place to put the product is 28 cm from the unhinged end of the door. Our product generally works 80% of the time.

Recommendations

For our product to be maximized in use, we need to create a deeper box to hold the v-shaped resistor. The tip of the v-shaped resister needs to be rounded to run along the door.

Next Steps

Expand to our own factory, multiple outlets across Canada, and increase staff.

Further Work

Package the material in an appealing manner and sell through large chain stores such as Walmart and Canadian Tire. Also, sell through door manufacturers.

Future Plans

Once Kidoor Catcher has established a reliable market and has gained the confidence of the consumers in our products, we plan to expand this design in other doors such as industrial doors, sliding doors, windows, and improving the current design with security features. Other areas that can be accessed include doors on vehicles, using different designs, or wherever our creativity, time, and imagination takes us.

As an expansion to our advertisements and distribution, we could offer a partnership with door-construction companies, establishing our product as a standard feature on household doors. Our product could also be sold within retail stores such as Canadian Tire or Sears for wider distribution.
