Anti-ligature Full-door Alarm
Our Anti-ligature Full-door Alarm is designed to provide a secure and safe environment. It effectively prevents self-harm and harm to others by ensuring doors remain secure. This advanced alarm system offers peace of mind for healthcare professionals and patients alike, contributing to a safer and more controlled living or treatment space. Its robust design ensures reliability in demanding settings.
Full door coverage, subtly built in
When ligature risk is hidden in plain sight, partial solutions are not enough. Our full-door ligature alarm is designed to protect across the entire door, giving staff earlier warning, clearer oversight, and greater confidence, without adding complexity to the ward environment.
• Protection at every height Unlike door-top alarms, the system detects ligature load across the full height of the door, reducing blind spots and addressing risk wherever it occurs.
• Discreet by design Built directly into the door, the alarm minimises visual cues and ligature learning opportunities, helping environments remain calm, normal, and made for living.
• Fewer false alarms, faster response Intelligent filtering reduces nuisance alerts, so when an alarm sounds, staff know it matters and can act quickly and proportionately.
• Connected safety, simplified Wireless installation limits disruption on live wards, integrates with staff attack systems, and links to a secure online dashboard that provides real-time visibility of alarm status from any internet-enabled device.

Full-door monitoring eliminates blind spots, reducing uncertainty. Risk is identified wherever it occurs.
Integrated Design, Reduced Distractions
Fewer false alarms mean fewer interruptions. Trustworthy alerts enable quick, confident responses.
Comprehensive Safety
The Full-door ligature alarm addresses ligature risk at all door heights, including the top, latch, and threshold. This comprehensive coverage ensures that any attempt to create a ligature point will be promptly detected, allowing for timely intervention and enhanced safety of at-risk individuals.
We designed the Full-door ligature alarm to detect ligature attempts in their early stages, providing an early warning system to prevent potential harm. This allows for a quick response from ward staff, minimising the risk of injury or suicide risk resulting from ligature attempts.
Customisation
Our Full-door ligature alarms are customisable, allowing settings to be adjusted based on the specific requirements of the environment. This includes sensitivity levels, alarm thresholds, and other parameters, which can be tailored to suit the needs of the facility and the residents it serves.
Single source supply and install
Safehinge Primera manages the Full-door Ligature Alarm system, from specification and installation to ongoing aftercare. This reduces the number of tradespeople entering the facility (reducing disruption to patients) and ensures that the system is installed and monitored by the team that designed it, providing confidence in its effectiveness and reliability.
Compliance with regulations
Our Full-door ligature alarms that cover the entire door, including the top, door frame, latch, and threshold, can help facilities comply with regulatory requirements in mental health facilities. The alarms ensure a safe environment for at-risk individuals and help facilities meet regulatory standards.
While no universal anti-ligature policy applies to all mental health settings, each NHS Trust within a Local Authority or Private Healthcare Unit will have its anti-ligature policy in place based on recommendations from the government. You can read about Anti-ligature regulations and legislation here.
If you are looking for door locks or door components, we have a wide range suitable for mental health facilities.

"I am happy to say that the full door alarm system in the first two months (since install) has prevented two suicides already. For me that proves the investment is worth it"
