Steel door manufacturer Robust UK has launched Temp-Dor, a temporary door solution designed to secure hospitals following break-ins or door damage.
The solution can be used for other healthcare facilities including GP practices, pharmacists and care homes.
In healthcare environments, it is essential to be able to secure a building quickly and effectively to protect the security and safety of premises, patients and staff.
The Temp-Dor system represents a move away from traditional boarding-up methods to offer a highly secure, reusable steel door solution, which is designed to keep healthcare facilities safe until a permanent replacement is available.
This approach provides healthcare facility managers with a more stylish, secure and cost-effective alternative to emergency boarding or manned security services.
The system features an adjustable frame which can accommodate openings from 875mm to 1095mm wide, whilst its modular design enables rapid on-site assembly. The door can be configured for both left-hand and right-hand openings and for inward or outward opening, ensuring compatibility with different building requirements. Built to withstand unauthorised access attempts and weather exposure, Temp-Dor delivers durability at a time when buildings are at their most vulnerable.
The door is manufactured with an escape sashlock compliant with BS EN 179.
Jason Robinson, Technical director at Robust, said: “TEMP-DOR represents a game-changing solution for healthcare environments, which means they can protect assets, patients and staff with minimal disruption to normal services. It eliminates the need for unreliable temporary boarding or expensive man guarding and is highly effective in maintaining building integrity whilst presenting a professional appearance.”
With high levels of traffic and impact damage from trolleys, wheelchairs and wheeled equipment in hospitals, door wear and tear is common. For healthcare facilities managers, Temp-Dor represents a cost-efficient investment. Its reusable design allows the system to be deployed multiple times, reducing reliance on single-use boarding.
