Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary

Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary

The new Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary opened in late 2017, with 344 single-bed rooms. Our clever finger-ejecting guards were used on automatic doors throughout to comply with BS7036 and on all hinged doors in the paediatric ward to keep little fingers safe.

Priestly Unit and Priory

Priestly Unit and Priory 2 Ward, South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS FT

A mixture of old locks and handles needed replaced due safety concerns with clutched cylinders and the insufficient grip some older handles offered service users. They chose our 5-way SOS (Staff Override System) anti-barricade locksets and Pinch grip anti-ligature handles throughout.

Sevenacres Ward

Sevenacres Ward, Isle of Wight NHS Foundation Trust

Offering in-patient mental healthcare and support, Isle of Wight foundation Trust upgraded their existing Sevenacres Ward in 2017 using our anti-barricade doorsets and electronic locksets to support service users at different stages of their recovery pathway

Sheffield Children's Hospital

Sheffield Children's Hospital

At the heart of their refurbishment process, Sheffield Children’s Hospital wanted to seamlessly balance safety with homeliness, creating a non-institutional environment for children of all ages. Naturally, the Trust chose to install our integral finger guards (Alumax).

Humber NHS Foundation Trust

Humber NHS Foundation Trust

As part of an ongoing capital improvement program, the trust replaced 100 of their existing wedge-shaped push button anti-barricade stops with our retrofit anti-barricade stop – enabling them to overcome the limitations of push button stops, which can fail to operate if there’s internal pressure.

Brunswick Ward

Brunswick Ward, Sussex Partnership NHS FT

Providing holistic support for older age patients with dementia, Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust needed a familiar environment that would help aid the recovery process. That's why they chose to install our Symphony doorsets and anti-ligature locksets and handles throughout.

The Pods Leisure Centre

The Pods Leisure Centre

To combat a tough combination of high user traffic and high moisture content, our integral finger guards were installed throughout this award-winning leisure centre. Their discrete nature also matched the Pod's exterior which was designed to blend in seamlessly with its natural surroundings.

Ronald McDonald House, Manchester

Ronald McDonald House

Keen to create a 'home away from home' environment, Ronald McDonald Charity required finger guards that were discreet and unobtrusive. That's why they chose our integral finger guards, blending seamlessly into the environment, whilst also increasing safety and durability.

Newbridge House

Newbridge House

When Newbridge House was being refurbished they wanted bathroom fittings that offered superior safety whilst also creating a homely and welcoming environment. That's why they chose our load release fittings, minimising the ligature risk whilst looking like traditional bathroom fittings.

Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust

Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust

When the trust required new doorsets to combat their current safety and durability challenges, they turned to our extra-wide, single-leaf doorsets. With concealed hold-open closers, this helped to reduce the ligature risk whilst the vandal-resistant PVC facing helped to brighten the space and minimise maintenance costs.

NHS Tayside

Dudhope Young Peoples Unit, NHS Tayside

When this new CAMHS facility was looking for a single door closer system for multiple uses, they chose our concealed transom door closers. As well as offering the ultimate in safety, it has no closing force during day-to-day use, helping to assist with normalisation.

Lancasterian Sen School

Lancasterian Sen School

Lancasterian Sen School approached us as wheelchair damage was causing plastic finger guards to split or tear within weeks. We supplied our extreme duty finger guard (Alufast) as the solid aluminium construction would keep fingers safe and protect doors from damage.

Birmingham and Solihull

Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health FT

The trust approached us for a reliable and complete override lockset system to minimise keyway tampering and ensure staff could always gain access. Combining our 5-way SOS system with the lifeline closed keyway, our designers were able to meet their specific needs.

Healthcare

Fitzroy House, St Andrew's Healthcare

With a delicate balance between safety, security and aesthetics required, the trust chose our 5-way SOS (Staff Override System). And as a result, staff have been able to protect the vulnerable youngsters in their care, meeting their main objective of reducing service-user risk.

Hellingly centre

Hellingly centre, Sussex Partnership NHS Trust

The Hellingly Centre had significant problems with floor sprung door closers and were keen to find a door closer specifically designed for the challenging Mental Health environment. Our concealed transom door closer (Sureclose) provided the answer.

Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS FT

Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS FT

The trust chose to install our range of anti-ligature locksets and handles throughout the ward. They were particularly impressed with our electronic locksets, seamlessly balancing safety with speed of access as a single access card can be used to operate any door.

Atherleigh Park

Atherleigh Park, North West Boroughs Healthcare

As the only electronic lockset with 5-way SOS, the trust chose our electronic lockset, passport. Offering service users control over their own living space by issuing a harmless key fob also met their requirements of promoting service user independence.

Mid-Argyll Community Hospital and Integrated Care Centre

Mid-Argyll Community Hospital and Integrated Care Centre

When repurposing an existing building, NHS Highland wanted doorsets that were non-institutional and user-friendly so choose our Symphony doorsets with freeswing door closer. Plus, it's linked to the fire alarm, meaning the door self-closes when necessary.

Brunswick Ward

Brunswick Ward, Mersey Care NHS FT

When the ward was being refurbished, the trust selected our extra-wide single leaf Symphony doorset. Aided by market-leading fire evidence, the leaf is 1100mm providing a clear opening of 1050mm – enough space for a service user and two members of staff.

Worcesters Primary School

Worcesters Primary School

Worcesters Primary School initially requested 20 integral finger guards as part of an extension. They were so happy with the quality and sleek aluminium finish that, the following year, they ordered 80 retrofit surface-mounted finger guards for the existing building.

Cwm Ifor Primary School

Cwm Ifor Primary School

Having grown frustrated with the lack of durability with plastic finger guards, Caerphilly Local Education Authority requested our integral finger guards. The discrete design blended seamlessly with the school environment whilst also increasing durability.
