Care homes & assisted living
Security, locks and access control for care homes
Care homes need to keep residents safe, protect medication and staff areas, and still let people get out quickly in a fire. We fit and maintain the locks, restrictors and access control that do that, with DBS-checked engineers who work quietly around residents.

Window restrictors
HSE guidance for care settings is that windows vulnerable people can reach should be restricted to an opening of 100mm or less, with restrictors that can't easily be disengaged. We fit, test and replace restrictors throughout the home and record each one.

Can access control on a secure unit still let people out in a fire?
Yes. Doors on escape routes use fail-safe locking and release when power is cut, and we provide the interface for your fire alarm contractor to release doors on activation.
Do you work in assisted living and supported housing?
Yes. We work in care homes, assisted living schemes and supported housing, including communal entrance access control and flat locks.
