ATHERLEIGH PARK, NORTH WEST BOROUGHS HEALTHCARE NHS FOUNDATION TRUST 

Trust: North West Boroughs Healthcare NHS foundation 
Project type: New build
Mental Health discipline: Male and Female Mental Health and Dementia Inpatient services 
Architect: AFL architects 
Products supplied: Passport smart locksets,  Turn/pull handles, Oryx lever handles

AFL Architects wanted design consistency across the separate psychiatric intensive care unit and adult inpatient rehabilitation wards in this new Mental Health facility, in Leigh, Wigan.  That's why they chose our electronic locksets. 

 

 

Offering superior safety for staff and service users

Electronic locksets were used across the wards, offering superior safety for staff and service users – as the only electronic lockset with 5-way SOS
(Staff Override System), this means staff can always gain access in an emergency.  

Offering service users control over their own living space by issuing a harmless key fob also met the trust's requirements of promoting service user independence and restoring dignity.  
 

 

 

Balancing consistency with service user requirements   

To ensure consistency throughout the hospital, electronic locksets were used across the separate care units and rehabilitation wards.  

For the dementia ward, the trust also installed our Oryx handles to create the homely, appearance of a domestic door yet make door opening easier for those with a weaker grip.

Mid-Argyll Community Hospital and Integrated Care Centre

When repurposing an existing building, NHS Highland wanted doorsets that were non-institutional and user-friendly so choose our Symphony doorsets with freeswing door closer. Plus, it's linked to the fire alarm, meaning the door self-closes when necessary.

Hellingly centre, Sussex Partnership NHS Trust

The Hellingly Centre had significant problems with floor sprung door closers and were keen to find a door closer specifically designed for the challenging Mental Health environment. Our concealed transom door closer (Sureclose) provided the answer.
