Anti-barricade doorset

The Fast and the Functional

When a door becomes a barrier, seconds matter. Our anti-barricade doorsets are built to perform under pressure, giving staff fast, safe access while standing up to daily wear. Robust by design, human at heart, and trusted to work first time, every time.

  • Built to last
    Zero reported stop failures means fewer replacement doors, lower lifecycle costs, and confidence that your doorset will still perform years down the line.

  • Emergency access in seconds
    The staff-side over-ride allows safe entry in around two seconds during an emergency, without force, panic, or delay.

  • Safety designed in
    Operated from a safe staff position, reducing the risk of door weaponisation and protecting everyone involved.

  • Human-led design
    Thoughtfully finished to remove the institutional feel, helping spaces feel calmer, more dignified, and made for living.

Built to hold. Designed not to fail.

Robustness is not about resisting force once, it’s about performing reliably, every time it’s needed. The anti-barricade stop is engineered to withstand repeated pressure in real ward conditions, where doors are tested daily, not gently, and rarely predictably.

There are no fragile parts, no single-use components, and no dependence on ideal conditions. Just a simple, proven mechanism designed to keep working when furniture is pushed, pressure builds, and access cannot wait.

That’s why it has achieved zero reported stop failures in use. Fewer breakages. Fewer replacement doors. And lasting confidence that the door will respond exactly as staff expect, when it matters most.

Product Information

Helping clinical staff in an emergency

Designed specifically to make it as quick as possible to gain emergency access, the built-in lever drops down and provides critical pull advantage for staff – without the use of a toolkit.

How does this help?
