Anti-Barricade & Anti-Ligature Safety Door Sets and Components
Working with Mental Health organisations, we provide doorsets that balance safety needs with aesthetics and function that supports patient recovery.
Product highlights:
- Award-winning Anti-Ligature En-suite Door
- Unique Full-Door Ligature Alarm Sensor
- Market-leading Anti-Barricade Doorset (Swiftstop)
Full-Door Ligature Alarm
We have created the world’s first and only full-door ligature alarm system for mental health environments which detects ligature attempts across the entire door.
49% of inpatient suicides within mental health facilities occur using the door or door hardware.
Our anti-barricade door sets include a wireless full-door alarm. We’ve turned the entire door into a weighing scale that detects vertical loads over 5kg.
Anti-Ligature En-Suite Door
Our anti-ligature bathroom doorset promotes patient safety and recovery with detachable, lightweight leaves that prevent ligature attempts. It enables patient observation while preserving privacy and dignity, and comes in various therapeutic designs.
Available with Original Artwork Designed by Artists from Hospital Rooms.
Independently tested and proven with no reported suicides among over 4,000 installations in mental health facilities, our doorset is made of top-quality materials and comes with a 5-year guarantee for added reassurance.

Richard Nenneau, VP of Behavioral Health, Penn Highlands Healthcare
"A reliable, ligature-resistant solution was the key for us. The overall design of the bathroom door is impressive, from colour choices to build. The research behind the solution and the fact that it has been well thought through, rigorously tested, and proven to work on other sites made it stand out to us."
Dr Barbara Vann, Chair, Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
"The feeling you have in this building is that this is somewhere that is safe, comfortable, and pays attention to my well-being and mental health."
Bob Anderson, Senior Architect, Dundee City Council
“We wanted a durable finger guard that also looked good and could be integrated into the building design. The impact from wheelchairs and trolleys can cause damage to building fabric. We found retrofit plastic and fabric finger guards unattractive, bulky and shorter life - information provided suggests a lifespan as low as 6 – 12 months. We were keen to avoid unnecessary maintenance costs”.
Rodney Van Nest, Chief Operating Officer of Appalachian Behavioral Health
"Patients love the privacy the en-suite doors provide versus the shower curtain they had before, and the staff really love them."
