The Schlage L9000 Mortise Lock Series with Anti-Ligature SL1 Trim is ideal for use in schools, hospitals and factories, where the finest hardware must also deliver consistent, dependable operation and stand up to constant use and abuse.
Hospitals are at high-risk for suicide, even when regular patient monitoring checks are in place. In fact, over 1,500 suicides occur in hospitals each year. A joint commission study on suicides at VA hospitals found that doors and door hardware were the primary anchor point for 28% of ligature related suicide and suicide attempts - nearly double the next most common attachment point.
Suicide has a higher death rate in jail than in general population. Suicide is also the single largest cause of death while incarcerated (29%) - the only cause of death to occur at a higher rate in jails than in the general population. This problem also extends to juvenile confinement facilities. In a study from 1995 through 1999, ligature strangulation was used in 98.7% of suicides at such facilities, with door hardware used as the attachment point in more suicides than any other means (20.5%).
