Anti-Barricade Pivot System
Our patented ‘no gap’ pivot system successfully meets the highest possible safety standards, addressing the ligature issue as well as providing FD60 fire rating.
- Pivot system opens inwards and outwards, so it’s anti-barricade without even having to think about it
- Absence of visible fixings is less institutional, as is the sleek, curved appearance
- Robust, yet the range of timber effect or RAL powder-coated finishes to blend in.
Anti-ligature and anti-barricade
As well as averting access to fixtures, it features anti-barricade washers, helping to reduce the risk of self-harm.
The pivot system opens both ways, meaning it can provide anti-barricade access when used with an anti-barricade stop.
Rigorously abuse and fire tested
We’ve simulated a number of abuse scenarios on our anti-barricade pivot system – including a sustained attack on the door and hinge.
It meets the highest possible safety standards, so it’s fire rated on single extra-wide leaves up to 1100mm, and is the only anti-ligature, anti-barricade hinge to be FD60 rated.
Toughness comes as standard
Extra-long solid stainless steel pivot straps are tough, spreading the load and reducing the need for unsightly pivot protectors.
It’s designed for 54mm doors – so toughness comes as standard.
And the modular design means the profile can be replaced if damaged by wheelchair or beds – minimising maintenance costs.
