When it comes to healthcare applications, many of which are large, complex developments, often spread over different floors and with many departments – demanding very specific requirements, security and safety have to be at the top of the list.
Architects, specifiers and planners need to find the right balance between these two crucial factors – but obviously without compromising all-important access control.
Understanding these needs, the DOM range of cylinders with anti-ligature clutch function and escutcheons has been designed to meet stringent hospital and safety needs.
Joanna Scott, marketing manager for West Midlands-based Ronis-DOM in the UK, explained: “The DOM anti-ligature range offers two key advantages to the broad healthcare sector in terms of safety and security: an integrated clutch function ensuring patient safety at all times, by allowing staff access. Plus a smooth, rounded design of the turn and escutcheon are tailor-made for a precise fit, thus eliminating any potential ligature points.
“Tamper-proof fitting also comes as standard,” Joanna added.
Several hospitals in the West Midlands region have already installed the impressive range – including the prestigious Queen Elizabeth in Birmingham and Forth Valley Royal Hospital, as well as Royal South Hants Hospital in Southampton.
This range of cylinders is another example of how DOM is dedicated to providing quality, well designed products to meet the particular requirements of its customers.
