SafeSee™ - anti-ligature doorset solution.

The concept.

The SafeSee™ door concept is the result of extensive feedback from Service Providers and the Design in Mental Health Network; both required a doorset which could perform satisfactorily under differing scenarios in addition to providing a safe environment.


Expertise & collaboration.

Britplas drew upon their extensive knowledge and experience as the number one in mental health fenestration to develop an anti-ligature doorset solution that would allow distance monitoring in addition to a product that was multi-functional, and addressed all the concerns raised in relation to ligature and provision of access in a barricade situation

The initial concept evolved, with the technical expertise and product knowledge of Leaderflush Shapland who refined and tested the product prior to bringing it to market.

The SafeSee™ anti-ligature doorset solution allows for measured monitoring of mental health patients through data tracking of inspections, electronic access with no requirement for keys.

In instances when patients attempt to use the door as a ligature point in an attempt to harm themselves, the SafeSee™ doorset detects additional stresses on the door and raises an alarm through the monitoring system.


Furthermore, should a patient barricade him/herself into the room or push against the door when the ‘nurse’ is trying to get in, the operation of a proximity card system will release the magnetic locks allowing the door to open into the corridor away from the barricade/pressure being placed on the door.

Doorsets within a mental health environment are often put under extreme stress and pressure from an abuse perspective. Abuse on a door construction that is not constructed for this environment can result in the rails splitting at the top and bottom pivot areas.

We simulated this kind of attack by using a 32oz mallet, which resulted in no damage after a series of impacts. A further type of abuse is someone charging with their shoulder at the midpoint of the door. This was simulated using a 7kg paving maul, which again resulted in no damage.
