Electronic Lockset for mental health

Patients within a mental health facility are going through a vulnerable time.

It's likely that they're feeling overwhelmed and anxious at the change in environment, practices and routine - just as many of us would.

Electronic locking creates a more trusting and independent environment for patients, whilst the built-in mechanical override ensures reliable access for staff in an emergency.

Our lockset now seamlessly integrates with all commonly used electronic access control systems, ensuring effortless implementation within your current ward infrastructure.

Embark on a journey of patient-centred care with our advanced electronic lockset, where empowerment, reliability, and seamless integration converge to create a harmonious environment for healing and recovery.

The Department of Health's Health Building Note (HBN) 03-01 also states that patients 'should be able to lock and unlock their rooms...to safeguard their property and increase the feeling of safety, privacy and dignity.'

To help bring the significance of this guidance to life, you can watch a recording of our webinar with the inspirational expert by experience Katharine Lazenby.

Best of both worlds

We understand the increased confidence that comes with having a means of manually overriding an electronic lock.

And with no toolkit required, clinical staff are able to reliably access a patient's bedroom in just 5 seconds. Even in a determined barricade.

From what you've told us, the time saved here can be crucial in an emergency - possibly even lifesaving.

PEACE OF MIND FOR STAFF

All access permissions are individually pre-programmed for each patient's wristband, depending on their care plan - and any updates are instant.

From conversations with various stakeholders, we understand there can be reluctance towards electronic locking due to the concern that patients will be able to access restricted areas.

The electronic lockset can integrate with all commonly used electronic access control systems, which makes it easy to implement into an existing ward infrastructure and allows staff to monitor access and instantly adjust permissions when necessary.

The audit trail can also help to inform patient care plans. For example, staff can monitor if a patient is spending a lot of time in their bedroom and very little time in the common areas.
