Lifesaving Details: Innovation in Every Element
Explore the core components of our innovative approach to saving lives. Each element is meticulously designed for maximum impact and efficiency.
Engineered for Safety.
We understand that in sensitive environments, every component is critical. Our products are meticulously crafted safety solutions, designed with precision and care.
Our innovative designs feature advanced anti-ligature and anti-barricade capabilities, rigorously tested for performance under pressure.
Protecting vulnerable individuals and empowering caregivers is our core mission. Our solutions ensure safety and confidence when it matters most.
Precision-Engineered for Life-Saving Impact
Every Safehinge Primera product undergoes extensive development, ensuring that the solutions we deliver are not only durable but capable of addressing the most pressing safety issues in care environments. For us, it’s about looking beyond the obvious and designing products that anticipate potential dangers.
Barricade-Proof Design
Override Systems for Emergency Access
When a crisis strikes, every second counts. That’s why our 5-way SOS lockset is equipped with a T-bar override tool, which offers caregivers a decisive advantage. The bayonet fixing enables the door to be pulled open with significantly more force than would be possible through the internal handle, giving caregivers quick and reliable control. This feature is designed to eliminate the risks associated with barricades, providing a swift solution when immediate action is required.
One of the primary challenges in mental health settings is the threat posed by barricaded doors. Our collapsible anti-barricade stop has been specifically engineered to tackle this issue head-on. By moving the hinging point, we’ve developed a system that allows the door to open outward, even under pressure from within. This lifesaving feature ensures staff can intervene quickly, without the delays that could escalate a crisis.
Preventing Ligature Risks
Informed by Clinical Risk Assessments. Safehinge Primera’s designs take this responsibility seriously, going beyond surface-level ligature prevention to implement more holistic, effective solutions.
Our products support caregivers in their efforts to identify, manage, and mitigate risks.
Comprehensive Ligature Monitoring
Our en-suite door leaves help prevent ligature learning, the practice where individuals repeatedly attempt self-harm using the same points.
This feature addresses immediate safety concerns and provides caregivers with valuable insight into potential future risks.
The Detail That Saves Lives
Every product that Safehinge Primera designs goes through rigorous real-world testing. We strive to exceed standards.
We know that safety can never be an afterthought in environments like mental health facilities. That’s why we pay attention to the details that others might overlook. For instance, the subtle changes in force and functionality built into our systems may seem small, but they are critical to saving lives when a crisis occurs.
Real-World Testing for Real-World Impact
We test our products in controlled environments and real-world settings where they will be deployed. Every anti-barricade door system, ligature-resistant lockset, and monitoring solution is subjected to stress tests that replicate the intense conditions these systems will face. This commitment to rigorous testing means you can rely on Safehinge Primera’s products when needed.
