A new version of the company’s ‘safe- door system’ for mental healthcare applications, that allows doorsets to be replaced within two hours – developed following customer feedback about the cost and disruption of decanting service-users for doorset replacement – has been introduced by Safehinge.
SWIFTdor maintains the ‘superior safety levels’ of Safehinge’s original safe-door system, Symphony, but now also incorporates a rapid installation frame. The company said: “There is no complicated preparation work prior to installation, and the built-in architraves cover the wall surrounding the opening, so there is no need to redecorate afterwards. The frame’s robust construction means it can withstand the toughest knock and bumps.”
Like Symphony, SWIFTdor ‘offers maximum safety for service-users and staff’, with its anti-ligature, anti-barricade, and fire-rated design. Its discrete aesthetics ‘help deinstitutionalise’ mental health environments, Symphony, which won the Product Innovation of the Year at the Design in Mental Health Awards 2014 dinner, and SWIFTdor, were developed in partnership with DORMA and Primera Life.
