Anti-Ligature & Anti-Barricade Doors
Anti-Ligature Doors
Anti-ligature door sets and anti-barricade door sets are both specialised types of doors commonly used in mental health facilities to ensure the safety of patients and staff.
Anti-ligature door sets are designed to prevent individuals from tying or hanging themselves using the door or its hardware with a ligature.
These doors have a smooth surface, without any projections or protrusions that could be used for ligature points and have tamper-proof or concealed hinges to prevent them from being used as a point of leverage. Anti-ligature door sets also may have breakaway hinges that allow the door to be easily removed in an emergency.
Anti-Barricade Doors
Anti-barricade door sets are designed to prevent service users (patients) from barricading themselves in a room, which can create a dangerous situation for themselves, staff and others.
These doors typically have a mechanism that allows them to be unlocked and opened from the outside, even if the inside handle has been disabled or blocked.
In mental health facilities, anti-ligature and anti-barricade door sets are often used to provide maximum safety and security for patients and staff.
Anti-ligature doors prevent self-harm by patients, while anti-barricade doors prevent patients from creating a dangerous situation by locking themselves in a room. Together, they provide a safe and secure environment for patients and staff to work towards recovery.
Anti-barricade Electronic Lockset
The Electronic Lockset, also known as the anti-barricade electronic lockset, is an innovative security solution designed to address the unique needs of mental healthcare environments.
This electronic lockset combines advanced access control technology with an override feature that allows staff to enter a room in the event of an emergency quickly if a patient barricades themselves inside.
With its innovative and intuitive design, the Electronic Lockset is easy to use and enhances the safety and security of patients and staff. It is a reliable and effective solution for mental health facilities looking to enhance their security measures and improve patient care. It eliminates the need for nurses to carry a mass of keys, and the door alarm supports the observation of patients.
Concealed Door Closer
Safehinge Primera's Concealed Door Closer is a component designed for use in mental health facilities. Unlike traditional door closers that are visible and can be used as a point of ligature, this door closer is fully concealed within the door frame, making it less likely to be tampered with or used as a tool for self-harm.
The concealed design also offers a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, blending seamlessly into the overall design of the door. The door closer is engineered to be durable and long-lasting, ensuring that doors open and close smoothly and quietly. With its innovative design and robust construction, the Safehinge Primera Concealed Door Closer provides a safe and secure environment for patients and staff in mental health facilities.
