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.
