With a choice of mirror styles, sizes and materials, all of which are virtually unbreakable and ligature-free, Securikey institutional mirrors provide effective real time surveillance and eliminate blind spots, ensuring the safety of inmates, patients, staff and visitors who may otherwise be at risk from surprise attacks or collisions. Designed in conjunction with prison architects, Securikey institutional mirrors are tested and approved to meet stringent Home Office regulations and are specified for prison cells owned by the Metropolitan Police Department and Scotland Yard. They are also installed in a wide range of correctional and health institutions worldwide, particularly in high-risk areas where a reliable solution is required. The Institutional Stainless Steel range is made from quality, scratch-resistant 1.2mm stainless steel, which is unbreakable, heat-resistant and easy to maintain. There are Quarter face, Half face or Ceiling Dome options available to meet different siting needs, all of which are supplied with anti-ligature steel frames for optimum security and to reduce any risk of suicides. The innovative pressed counter-step holes in the Ceiling Dome model allow these mirrors to be fixed straight to the ceiling or wall without a steel frame due to the pressed holes in the stainless steel edge, while an anti-pik filler is used to further minimise any risk of ligatures. To help customers in their initial selection prior to direct consultation, Securikey has produced a useful online guide to convex mirrors, which can be viewed on the website at www.securikey.co.uk Whichever model is selected, the customer has peace of mind ]B
