BEST Secure Patient Mortise Safety Levers

SPSL – Secure Patient Safety Lever: Mortise

Secure Patient Safety Lever (SPSL) meets the needs of resisting ligature engagement on the lock trim while providing patients and staff with easy-to-operate hardware. The patentpending design meets the intent of ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) by eliminating the operational requirement “pinch & grasp” motion. The reliable performance and security found within the traditional BEST products is now available in an anti-ligature design.

The tight tolerances, smooth meshing of the lever and the non-moving conical lock escutcheon set the industry standard. As an added suicide resistant measure, the lever is always free-moving bi-directionally, regardless of the lock function. The solid stainless steel design represents the highest level of quality construction found in the industry.

A wide variety of locking needs are met by the different mortise lock functions.
