Anti-Barricade Door solution for Behavioral Health facilities
SWING provides staff with fast and controlled access to service user rooms in emergency situations, opening outwards in seconds to overcome barricading incidents with no need to retract the lock bolt.
Manufactured to our own exacting standards, SWING offers a versatile, safe, and durable anti-barricade solution with all the robustness of our proven-to-perform tri-laminate core doors while retaining ligature resistant design.
Watch how the SWING Anti-Barricade Door System works:
Simple operation
Fast overcoming of patient barricades in behavioral health facilities
SWING’s SwingStop provides normal single-action operation when locked and is secured by three locking points for high-strength performance. Unlocking the SwingStop with a single turn of the Kingsway Staff Key will allow the door leaf to open outwards freely, providing staff with access to the service user room in seconds.
The innovative SwingThru Strike Plate means there is no need to retract the door lock bolt to overcome barricades, and no need for cumbersome override tool kits. The continuous SwingHinge provides double-action capabilities to the door leaf while retaining ligature resistant design and adding to the door’s robustness by providing a continuous anchor point to the door frame.
