Anti-ligature door sensors (Phase 1)
This project involved installing new doors to all bedrooms and any sanitary areas where a service user could be alone. These new doors were supplied by ‘Safehinge Primera’ following a robust client review exercise.
The doors have sensors that can sense if a minimum agreed weight is applied to any sides of the door. In the event that weight is applied then an alarm is triggered and staff are made aware so that they can address any potential incident.
These doors were installed to 3 x live mental health inpatient wards over a six month period. Completion July 2026.
Procurement – ASHE Construction were awarded this project via the NHS SBS Framework.
Value: £1.25 million
