Theses have proven to be particularly popular within secure accommodation for mentally ill people. Accompanying this will be a number of anti-ligature handles developed by CLCS for secure accommodation.

The one-handed operation of Codehandle will also provide a demonstration of UNION’s ability to combine convenience with access control.

ASSA ABLOY’s range of door closers, which assist in fulfilling the duties required under The Equality Act (EA), specifically BS8300 and Approved Document M of The Building Regulations, will also be displayed. Offering cam motion, ensuring that doors are easy to open with minimal physical force.

Tina Hughan, Marketing Director for ASSA ABLOY, said: “Having gained extensive experience in the healthcare sector, in projects from secure mental health facilities, through to large-scale public sector hospital builds, down to smaller specifications, such as bathroom facilities in residential homes, ASSA ABLOY has proven that it can provide answers to some of the most pressing questions within healthcare specification.

“I am looking forward to returning to the Healthcare Estates exhibition, as it is the ideal place for us to showcase our hygienic, convenient and cost-effective solutions, whilst developing our relationship with the key decision makers in the industry.”
