Anti-ligature design for greater safety in mental health environments

Anti-ligature design plays a crucial role in protecting those who are most vulnerable by reducing the risk of self-harm or suicide by hanging or strangulation. As the UK’s experts in anti-ligature products, Kingsway offer an extensive range of anti-ligature internal doorsets to ensure the ligature risk can be reduced in any given area of a mental health facility, including; service user bedrooms, staff areas, communal spaces, washroom facilities and more.

Aesthetically pleasing without sacrificing safety or security, our products improve patient and staff safety within the most challenging mental healthcare environments while contributing to creating therapeutic, de-institutionalised spaces. And as your partner in patient safety, all our solutions come with a 5-Year Guarantee at no extra cost, with the exception of our Duralux Secure Vision Panels which have a lifetime guarantee.

Why is anti-ligature design important?

'Complete' Door Systems for Mental Health

Kingsway Group doorsets differ to traditional doors in that ours are ‘Complete’ Door Systems. Whereas traditional doors would be built on site using individual components purchased from several suppliers, a Kingsway Group Complete Door System arrives on site as a single factory-finished unit, complete with its frame and all anti-ligature componentry factory fitted, tested, and pre-certificated for smooth installation and assured performance.

With a Kingsway Group Complete Door System, Mental Health Trusts also benefit from Kingsway Group being the sole point of contact for their doors. This makes project management simpler whilst providing peace of mind with continued product support post installation.

Feedback from our Mental Health Partners

“The level of engagement from Kingsway has been excellent, with a collaborative approach to working with the key stakeholders within clinical and non-clinical teams to provide a structured approach to problem solving, client liaison, communication and after sales care that is considered to be exemplary.”

Lesley Anne Davison Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust

“Kingsway were the preferred nominated door supplier for Greater Manchester MH NHS FT, having formed a successful partnership over many years providing high quality, secure, and robust doors for some of the most challenging mental health environments. We found working with Kingsway and their approach to the project as professional and pro-active, this also continued through to the procurement and supply of the doors to the main contractor on site.”

Mark Cowpland Gilling Dod Architects

“I will definitely be recommending Kingsway to my colleagues in the event that they require any doors. Mark Tilbrook, your head of sales, has been both a great source of assistance and very informative. It’s been refreshing to deal with a company rep who is always available at the end of a phone to answer my questions and queries. Well done to him. I have already come back to Kingsway Group to place a 2nd wave of orders.”

Whittington Health NHS Trust

“The whole experience, from start to finish, was effortless. For a Project Manager, this level of service makes our life so much easier. Thank you Kingsway.”

Nik Rawlings Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

“I was very impressed with everyone involved. I can see why they are a preferred supplier to many different organisations.”

Paul Lewis Westmade

“All departments at Kingsway Group, from site survey through production line to final installation, offer the highest service level with very good time keeping.”

Rafal Kowalski Cygnet Hospital Beckton

“I was very happy with the customer service received as well as the quality of the works. It was on time as promised, and Michael managed the installation very well. The product quality is good as usual and I’m very happy with the way it looks. The lead times were also less than normal which I think is a plus.”
