Designed for ease and speed." * "This is a great, fast fix for door installation." Silver Award in Architectural Products: Non-Clinical Innovation Award The LR-STK is designed to eliminate several common ligature risks from the behavioral healthcare environment without sacrificing door security. The solid, beveled, one-piece combination strike and dust box design prevents the strike from being used as an anchor point, eliminating ligatures afforded by standard strikes. Additionally, the concave, trapezoidal shape of the latch opening is designed to eliminate the risk that something can be wedged or manipulated to stay in place under load when the door is closed.
