Ligature-Resistant Locks
Ligature resistant locks provide essential safety features for behavioral healthcare facilities where patient security is paramount. These specialized door hardware solutions are engineered to minimize the risk of self-harm while maintaining security and access control. Our collection features high-quality TownSteel ligature-resistant locks designed for healthcare environments where safety and functionality matter most.
Understanding Ligature Resistant Hardware for Healthcare Facilities
What Makes Ligature Resistant Locks Essential
Ligature resistant locks are critical components in behavioral health facilities designed to reduce the risk of injury or death due to ligature strangulation. These specialized locks eliminate attachment points that could support a ligature, directly addressing one of the most common forms of self-harm in healthcare environments. By removing these potential hazards, these locks help create safer healing environments while maintaining necessary security protocols.
The TownSteel series, available through JMAC, features both cylindrical and mortise lock options that are engineered specifically for high-risk areas. These locks meet standards for ligature resistance while offering the strength required in demanding healthcare settings.
For a fully integrated safety solution, pair these ligature-resistant locks with our exit alarms, ensuring egress monitoring and patient security go hand-in-hand.
