Tackling a common problem with hardware fixtures in mental health environments, Balco Global Ltd have developed a SAFEMOUNT™ plate for a whole range of dispensers.
Upon an attempt of ligature, our SAFEMOUNT™ stays firmly secured to the wall where the dispenser releases if an abnormal load is applied. A backing plate that doesn’t come away from the wall, reduces the weapons risk often found with these types of products.
This is a system designed with ease and safety in mind for staff and service users, reducing risk management.
The SAFEMOUNT™ has been designed to attach to a variety of dispensers already supplied within your wards, including soap, hand sanitiser, toilet paper and hand towels. Most dispensers can be adapted to ensure reduced ligature risk. Simply send us your dispensers and we will attach the component needed to work with the backing plate and then send the completed order back to you. Alternatively, these can be supplied as a pack to be fitted by your estates maintenance team or preferred contractor.
Standard lead time is 2-4 weeks. This is confirmed at time of order.
What’s the fire rating of the SoftDoor?
The Balco SOFTDOOR™ is tested to a standard of Crib 7 BS5852, which is not a fire door test, but it applies to upholstery as no testing currently exists for this type of product.
How do you clean the SOFTDOOR™?
The GREENGUARD vinyl makes it easy to clean with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge (to protect the print design). If disinfection is required, use diluted chlorine products at 1000ppm chlorine.
Are the materials used non-allergenic?
Yes, the vinyl has a GREENGUARD certification. The inks contain no HAP's (hazardous air pollutants) or sensitisers, have no VOC's, require no special handling, are non-toxic and the synthetic polymers in the inks are non-allergenic.
What is the product warranty?
We provide a warranty on our products for a period of 24 months from delivery, the products shall be free from material defects in design, material & workmanship. However, this warranty does not apply to any defect in the product arising from circumstances described in clause 10.2 of the Balco Terms & Conditions.
What happens if the SOFTDOOR™ catches fire?
The SOFTDOOR™ is certified to a Crib 7 BS5852 rating. When the source of the fire is removed, the SOFTDOOR™ is self-extinguishing.
Can the SOFTDOOR™ be used in a wet room?
Yes, all seams on the SOFTDOOR™ Seven are welded to protect the internals from absorbing moisture.
How does the SOFTDOOR™ attach?
The SOFTDOOR™ uses short range magnetic force. The SOFTDOOR™ hinges consist of magnets, which are welded and stitched creating a tamper resistant pocket. Hinges attach directly to a standard metal door frame or to separately provided discreet hinge plates.
