Kingsway Group Communal Auto-Locking Lockset

Enhance security and access control in communal areas with the Kingsway Communal Auto-Locking Lockset from Anti-Ligature Australia. These locksets are designed with careful consideration of the principles outlined in the Australasian Health Facility Guidelines (AusHFG) for mental health inpatient units. Featuring an automatic locking mechanism, these locksets are crucial for maintaining controlled access, preventing unauthorised entry, and promoting a safe environment in high-risk settings. For staff, a key is required to unlock the door from either side, providing secure oversight and emergency access. For patients, the lockset allows free operation from the inside without a key, enabling safe movement while ensuring the door automatically re-locks upon closing to maintain overall security.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Anti-Ligature Design: Specifically engineered to minimise ligature points, aligning with the AusHFG’s focus on reducing harm and self-harm risks.
• Automatic Locking Mechanism: Ensures doors lock automatically upon closing, enhancing security without manual intervention.
• Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Built from high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel for long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
• Key Override Functionality: Allows authorised personnel to override the lock for emergency access or maintenance.
• Tamper-Proof Fixings: Secure installation with concealed screws to prevent tampering and ensure reliability.
• Smooth Operation: Ergonomic design for easy use while maintaining anti-ligature safety standards.
• Australian Standards Alignment: Designed and manufactured with consideration of relevant Australian safety standards, including those for mental health facilities.
