Soluti onThis Ligature Resistant Sliding Door System (LR-SDS) is the fi rst of its kind and fi lls a void in the healthcare marketplace as a safer soluti on for behavioral healthcare environments. It improves environmental safety, signifi cantly reducing the possibility of pati ent harm by avoiding elements that might support self-injury, as well as preventi ng the possibility of pati ents hiding from caregivers, enhancing staff safety.

The patent-pending LR-SDS features minimally exposed hardware, aligning with modern interior design initi ati ves, while providing both aestheti c and functi onal ligature resistant features. A concealed track and verti cal rod bolt allow some of the most important functi onality of the door to remain unseen. The LR-SDS is a surface applied door sliding door system able to convert conventi onal swing doors into ligature resistant pati ent safety openings, allowing faciliti es to easily update existi ng doors.
