You spoke, we listened: How Safehinge Primera’s new electronic lockset is transforming mental health care environments
In the field of mental health care, striking a balance between safety and patient independence has always been an important challenge. As care providers work tirelessly to create supportive environments, the need for practical, reliable solutions that both empower patients and ensure their safety has never been greater. At Safehinge Primera, we’ve taken this challenge head-on, developing the only electronic lockset designed specifically for mental health bedrooms. This innovative product seamlessly integrates into existing access control systems providing an unparalleled blend of efficiency, safety, and patient empowerment.

The efficiency challenge: Time is precious
For staff working in demanding mental health environments, time is often a scarce resource. Traditional key management systems are not only cumbersome but also inefficient. In these high-pressure settings, every second spent fumbling for keys is time that could be better spent focusing on patient care.
Our new electronic lockset eliminates the hassle of traditional keys entirely. By integrating directly with systems widely used in mental health environments, the lockset streamlines access management, giving staff the ability to operate within a unified, time-saving framework. This system simplifies operations, allowing staff to dedicate more of their energy to what truly matters, supporting patients on their recovery journey.
Uncompromised safety: Every second counts
While efficiency is essential, safety is paramount. In mental health settings, the ability to swiftly access rooms during emergencies can be the difference between life and death. That’s why our lockset is designed to grant entry in seconds, even during power outages or in situations where a door is barricaded. The intuitive override system ensures that caregivers can always gain access quickly and securely.
This fast response time, coupled with the product’s robust design, offers unparalleled peace of mind to both caregivers and facility managers. Safehinge Primera’s lockset doesn’t just meet safety standards, it redefines them. In moments of crisis, there’s no room for compromise, and our lock helps ensure a rapid response.
Empowering patients: The dignity of independence
In mental health care, promoting patient independence is key to supporting their recovery and overall well-being. However, traditional keys often become a barrier to this goal, forcing patients to rely on staff for access to their rooms and limiting their autonomy. Safehinge Primera’s electronic lockset changes this dynamic, enabling patients to gain independent access to their rooms without the risks associated with conventional keys in mental health environments. Whats more, the access wristbands we offer as part of the solution are designed with ligature resistant properties.
For patients, this shift represents more than just convenience – it’s an important step toward reclaiming control in their daily lives. Providing patients with the ability to manage their own space fosters a sense of dignity, freedom, and empowerment, which are crucial elements in a patient's therapeutic journey.

Designed for the real world: No compromises, only solutions
At Safehinge Primera, we understand the complex realities of mental health care environments. Our new lockset is not just another product, it’s a solution built on feedback from those who know these challenges best. We listened to caregivers, facility managers, and patients, and the result is a product that integrates seamlessly into your current system, enhancing both safety and efficiency without compromise.

Whether you’re seeking faster access during emergencies or aiming to create a more patient-centric care environment, Safehinge Primera’s electronic lockset is designed to meet those needs. In today’s world, where mental health care demands innovative solutions, this product is a game changer.

A future of safety and empowerment
As we look to the future, Safehinge Primera remains committed to developing products that improve mental health care environments for both staff and patients. Our electronic lockset is just one example of how innovation can enhance safety, streamline processes, and empower patients in their recovery.
