Door closers

[Davo]

I remember a case where a prisoner in a police cell hanged himself on the bottom hinge of the cell door. (Height 6 inches!)
It cost us a huge wedge to redesign and alter all the doors.

I'm with K, a determined person will find a way

Seems topical at the moment, a local CQC inspector whilst inspecting a standard residential care home raised the ligature issue of conventional overhead closers, unfortunately when the RP asked for advice one of the options suggested by the local F.A. Inspector was the fitting of suppression within the room in lieu of a self-closer, inadequate in my opinion, not to mention expensive.

Which do exist for prisons etc. although I think the main aim of these is to stop malicious activation. I have suggested these for some hotels whewre wall mounted sprinklers in bedrooms are seen by some guests as convenient coat hooks for bridal dresses etc.
