In modern psychiatric units there is a high demand to keep disturbed patients both secure and safe, this can be achieved with the use of a suitably robust door and a concealed multi-point lock. The lock offers a slam shut facility with handle and cylinder to the outside only, as there is nothing on the internal face of the door the patient is securely held in a safe environment.

Door Handles:

There is a need for to provide safe but effective pull handles within psychiatric Hospitals. The balance achieved by using the Surelock Guarded and Sunken Pull handles in tandem provides a dominant pulling force on the chosen side of the door, enabling stall to always open a door. These pull handles have been tested under the TS001 standard.
