A: The anti-ligature design eliminates any protrusion, horizontal surface, or fixing point that could be used to attach a ligature. The panel face is flush, the hinges are concealed, and the tamperproof RPT lock is recessed - the whole assembly is designed to meet anti-ligature specifications for secure and mental health environments. | Q: Is this panel fire rated? | A: Yes - FR60 as standard. The anti-ligature panel is built to meet both the security and fire safety requirements of healthcare and secure environments. | Q: What acoustic rating does it achieve? | A: Up to 44dB - sufficient to maintain meaningful sound separation between rooms in a healthcare setting. The wall variant achieves 35-42dB and the insulated ceiling variant achieves 44dB. Confirm the required configuration with the technical sales team for your specific application. | Q: Can the lock be opened by the patient? | A: No. The tamperproof RPT lock requires a specific key that should be held only by authorised staff. The lock is tamperproof by design and cannot be operated with a coin or improvised tool. | Q: What environments is it designed for? | A: Mental health units, psychiatric wards, secure accommodation, prisons, and any environment where the building fabric must comply with anti-ligature standards.
