The safety and security of staff and prisoners is imperative in enclosed situations and Intastop, a leading innovator and manufacturer of protection for doors, walls and people, supports safety and security policies across the prison, custody and remand sector.

Through a range of bespoke products that have been developed with key objectives in mind security of staff and detainees can undoubtedly be enhanced.
“The ability to protect staff and residents continues to be a high priority in secure establishments across the UK and we work hard to support them in maintaining the wellbeing of all building users,” said Lisa Turner Marketing Manager, Intastop. “This can be through products which support the care of vulnerable detainees or to reduce the chance of ligature risk.”

Intastop provides complete packages that support safety and security in both the public and private sectors and, is particularly useful in short or long term detention situations.

The product portfolio includes door top alarms, IVision security panels, double swing shrouded hinges and removable doorstops.

The Intastop Door Top Alarm helps to reduce the risk of suicide from the tops of doors and is proven to improve the safety of prisoners. The alarm enables immediate staff response and, has a tamper proof system preventing false alarms.

The portfolio also includes the company’s renowned Double Swing Hinge which now boasts a shroud, meaning its working mechanisms are encased eliminating the risk of finger entrapment or ligature issues. The hinge also allows the door to pivot greater than 90° in one direction and greater than 180° overall in both directions ensuring accessibility with speed and ease is possible. For other barricade situations the Double Swing Hinge can be used in conjunction with the Intastop Removable Doorstop which provides a quick emergency outward opening operation of doors that normally open inwards, helping to resolve a number of problematic situations.Custody Establishments Can Benefit From Staff & Detainee Protection Solutions
