Secure Furniture Solutions have developed a unique anti-ligature wardrobe.


The product is the only one of its kind worldwide, and is now the answer to the problem of self harm ligature attempts on wardrobe doors.


“I am a registered mental health nurse and a risk manager within a large mental health trust in the north west of England. I have over 26 years experience working within a variety of


mental health settings. I chose to pilot this wardrobe on one of our all-female acute admission wards because following careful consideration and comparison with other anti-ligature wardrobes currently on the market I think this is the best one available and the one fit for purpose within a very demanding environment. This wardrobe is aesthetically pleasing but also of solid construction, it also


features an electronic digital lock thus providing a large lockable space for a service user which is vitally important in any modern mental health setting. The lock can also be activated by the staff to manage a variety of different and difficult situations that they may encounter thus facilitating a more therapeutic and safer environment. The most important feature though is the anti-ligature wardrobe doors that will


alert staff if they are tampered with and then can easily be fitted back into place immediately without relying on further maintenance or decommissioning. In total this wardrobe was piloted for a seven month period and it received positive praise and comments from both service users and staff alike. I therefore would have no hesitation in recommending this wardrobe to other mental health care providers.”
