Anti-barricade
How the SWING Anti-Barricade Door System works
The SWING Anti-Barricade Door System 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. Watch the video demonstration to see how it works.
Simple-to-operate removable Anti-Barricade Door Stop
In the event of a barricade, staff unlock the ‘SwingStop’ Anti-Barricade Door Stop with a single turn of the Kingsway Staff Key, allowing the door leaf to open outwards away from the barricade. The innovative ‘SwingThru Strike Plate’ means there is no need to retract the door lock bolt first, and no need for cumbersome override tool kits.
This simple-to-use but effective system allows staff to gain access to the service user room in seconds.
Ligature alarm capabilities
Anti-Barricade Door solutions with Ligature Monitoring capabilities
To reduce the ligature risks present further, SWING is fully compatible with our SENTRY Full Door Edge Alarm System. Designed through research with our NHS Trust partners to support clinical teams in improving the safety of those in their care, SENTRY is an assistive technology that alerts staff when a ligature attempt takes place against any of the door edges.
When fitted with a ligature alarm, SWING is fully compatible with our KOSMOS Smart Monitoring System, allowing clinical teams to fully monitor ligature alarms and record an audit trail of patient activity and staff observations to help management teams review patient care quality and highlight key trends on wards, such as service users leaving their rooms at specific times during the night or remaining in their room more than usual.
