As Your Partner in Patient Safety, we offer the widest range of anti-ligature and anti-barricade Complete Door Systems available for mental health environments. While their benefits are known to those who already have them, the question arises, what exactly is a ‘Complete’ Door System?
What is a ‘Complete’ Door System?
Put simply, a Kingsway Group Complete Door System is a pre-tested, pre-assembled internal doorset developed alongside leading healthcare providers to meet the demands of mental healthcare environments. They’re designed to improve safety within challenging environments by reducing the risk of service user self-harm, suicide, and staff injury, with recent projects such as the Joondalup Health Campus’ Mental Health Service building seeking their benefits.
What makes a Kingsway Group Complete Door System different?
Each Kingsway Complete Door System arrives on site as a single, pre-assembled unit complete with its frame and all anti-ligature componentry factory fitted. We manufacture and test each unit to exacting standards in our state-of-the-art production facility to make for a smooth installation process and assured performance in mental health and challenging environments.
Traditionally, regular doors would be built on site using individual components purchased from several suppliers. This method can lead to incompatibility between the components fitted and, subsequently, the introduction of avoidable ligature points within high-risk environments.
In addition to the time spent assembling each door on site, having multiple component suppliers for one door complicates the process when attempting to correct any issues, something exacerbated by live ward environments. In contrast, with a Complete Door System, Kingsway are the sole point of contact, simplifying both project and facilities management while providing peace of mind in continued product support post installation.
What types of Complete Door Systems are available?
At Kingsway Group, we offer nine Complete Door Systems to reduce risk within any given area of a mental health facility. These fall within the following three main categories:
Anti-Ligature
All nine of our Complete Door Systems fall within the category of anti-ligature internal doorsets. These specialist safety products ensure ligature risk can be reduced in any given area of a mental health facility, including; patient bedrooms, staff areas, communal spaces, washroom facilities and more.
Anti-Barricade
Our range of anti-barricade Complete Door Systems allow staff to overcome service user barricading incidents swiftly and safely to reduce risk in mental health and other challenging environments.
Ligature-Alarmed
Our versatile range of ligature-alarmed Complete Door Systems help prevent loss of life and service user self harm in mental health and challenging environments by monitoring and alerting staff to ligature attempts.
Creating therapeutic spaces
Aesthetically pleasing without sacrificing safety or security, our Complete Door Systems improve patient and staff safety within challenging environments while contributing to creating therapeutic, de-institutionalized spaces.
Whilst colour isn’t a solution to the difficulties service users face in mental health facilities, its potential to contribute to improving their well being should not be ignored. All our Complete Door Systems can be customized from an extensive choice of colours and textured finishes to help achieve the most suitable look and feel based on the unique requirements of the patients and staff who will be using them.
