What Clients Say

In mental healthcare one of the biggest areas of risks within patient bedrooms is the bathroom door and it's hinges. It was great when we discovered softdoor, it reduced ligature risks in this area to a minimum, whilst till being able to maintain privacy and dignity. We liked the ease at which they could be installed, the simplicity of design.

Very happy with the product and will specify it on all projects going forward. Improved from a fire retardancy and IOT perspective from a previous product we had used

We loved the fact you could use an image on the door, it helped brighten up the room. We started installing them in our higher secure wards, however have started rolling them out across the whole site as they seem to suit all environments. I would highly recommend them for any environment, they are durable but with a soft touch

The SoftDoor has provided an excellent anti-ligature solution to our ensuites, and the ability to add images on the SoftDoor has also allowed the introduction of artwork into the bedrooms, adding to the ambiance of the environment.
