SWING DTM: Door Top Monitor Alarmed Door System
The SWING DTM (Door Top Monitor) ligature alarmed door system by Kingsway Group is designed to help behavioral healthcare staff prevent patient suicide.
It features a hardwired ligature monitor that will trigger the staff alarm when a ligature is detected at the door’s top edge and works no matter what position the door is in; open or closed.
The ligature monitor itself benefits from a low profile design covering the entire width of the door’s top edge, eliminating overlap and reducing the risk of jamming.
The SWING DTM also benefits from anti-barricade design, improving patient safety by ensuring staff are prepared in the event that a patient barricades the door. Thanks to its unique ‘SwingThru’ Strike Plate and double-action continuous ‘SwingHinge’, staff can open the door outwards in seconds with no need to unlock the door first and with no override toolkits required, saving crucial seconds during life-threatening incidents.

Unique ligature detection
Door Top Ligature Monitor Alarm for Behavioral Health
Kingsway Group’s NYS OMH Guide approved Door Top Monitor detects ligatures at the door’s top edge to alert staff in the event of a ligature attempt. The integrated ligature monitor triggers an alarm when pressure is applied to the door’s top edge and works whether the door is open or closed.
An adjustable delay of up to seven seconds can be set to prevent tamper or false alarms when required, making sure clinical teams are correctly alerted to ligature incidents and reducing false or nuisance alarms.
The Kingsway Door Top Monitor alarm is fully integrated with the door itself, meaning the unit has no visible wiring and offers a streamlined, discreet appearance. The wiring travels within the door core and exits through the electrically modified hinge, providing a reliable power source to the life-critical system.
Anti-barricade
Anti-Barricade Door solution for Behavioral Health
The DTM Alarmed Door System benefits from the anti-barricade capabilities of our SWING Door System, providing staff with fast and controlled access to patient rooms in emergency situations. Its simple operation allows staff to open the door outwards within 2 seconds to overcome barricading incidents with no need to retract the lock bolt.
Manufactured to our own exacting standards, the DTM Alarmed Door System 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.
Seamless integration
Ligature Monitoring Software: KOSMOS by Kingsway Group
Following extensive research with our behavioral health partners, our DTM Alarmed Door System integrates seamlessly with our KOSMOS Smart Monitoring System. The KOSMOS system helps clinical teams monitor and respond to ligature incidents to help prevent loss of life in challenging environments.
KOSMOS also provides invaluable data for future review by recording an audit trail of patient activity and staff observations. This data can help management teams review patient care quality and highlight key trends on wards, such as patients leaving their rooms at specific times during the night or remaining in their room more than usual.
Alerting staff to life-threatening incidents, the DTM Alarmed Door System integrates with all major legacy staff attack and nurse call systems, including Nurse Call and Duress Alarm system.
