ELECTRONIC ACCESS CONTROL
FOR MENTAL HEALTH
The Safehinge Primera electronic lock is the only electronic access control system designed specifically for Mental Health - with anti ligature security and anti-barricade design
Allows for patients to use wristband entry to their bedroom doors, empowering patients. The anti ligature design is the perfect fit for all mental health wards, and with built in anti barricade function nurses will have access to patients rooms in seconds.
The Safehinge Primera Electronic Access Control is the only system designed specifically for Mental Health inpatient environments, because we understand that patients’ thoughts, feeling and behaviours are greatly impacted by the environment and practices around them.Â
Something as simple as the independence to lock and unlock their bedroom door can significantly contribute to recovery. Instead of mechanical keys, doors are operated using access cards, wristbands or key fobs – reducing restrictive practices and giving patients complete control of their bedroom access.
But – patients are vulnerable and their safety is the priority. That’s why our Electronic Access Control (EAC) system has emergency override built in to the lockset, ensuring that staff can always gain access – even in a barricade scenario.Â
It also allows staff to monitor access and instantly adjust permissions when necessary, ensuring wards are kept safe and secure at all times.Â
PEACE OF MIND FOR STAFF
All access permissions are individually pre-programmed each patient’s wristband depending on their care plan. Staff can use a separate fob for access to all patient’s rooms or use the lifeline key
RELIABLE MECHANICAL OVERRIDE
Using the Safehinge Primera Lifeline key to release the emergency lever, the lever will mechaninally override the electronic lock – giving access to staff to the patients bedroom.
