We are pleased to share that a number of our products have been added to the New York State Office of Mental Health guidelines.

NYS OMH approved Anti-Barricade Doorset
One of our most recent additions to the NYS OMH Guide is the SWING DTM Anti-Barricade Door System. Ligature-resistant by design, the SWING DTM doorset features an integrated ligature monitor at the door’s top edge and can be opened outwards in seconds to overcome any attempts by a client to barricade the door closed.
The hardwired, integrated ligature-monitor spans the full width of the door’s top edge and detects ligature attempts whichever position the door is in; open or closed. The doorset comes pre-assembled and complete with all ligature-resistant hardware factory fitted to make for simple installation.
Thanks to its double action hinge and anti-barricade SwingStop, staff can open the SWING DTM doorset outwards in as little as 3 seconds. This simple and reliable anti-barricade system ensure staff are prepared in emergency situations, allowing them to quickly access patient rooms to provide the correct care.
