Anti-Ligature Blinds & Curtain Tracking Systems
We supply and install Kestrel anti-ligature blinds, curtain tracks and cubicle tracking systems for mental health, healthcare and other high-risk environments. Our range includes magnetic load-release and reduced-ligature systems, with specification support, trained installation, testing and handover to help you select the right solution for each space.
Anti-Ligature Systems for Safer Healthcare Environments
Anti-ligature blinds and tracking systems support risk reduction in mental health, healthcare and other higher-risk environments.
Kestrel magnetic systems use load-release brackets that allow the supported blind or track to separate when excessive downward force is applied. Different magnet strengths are available to suit specific risk requirements.
Correct specification, installation and testing are essential. We provide product selection, site surveys, trained installation, commissioning, documented handover and ongoing inspection support.
Anti-Ligature Roller Blinds
Magnetic load-release roller blinds with sidewinder, crank or slow-rise spring controls for higher-risk spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question about anti-ligature products? Here are answers to common queries from healthcare estates teams, contractors and specifiers.
Anti-Ligature Specification, Installation & Testing
Correct specification starts with the room, its intended use and the level of ligature risk identified for that space.
We can help you select the appropriate blind or tracking system, review fixing conditions and coordinate wall or ceiling substrates before installation. For magnetic systems, bracket type, spacing and release performance must suit the selected product and application.
Installation should be carried out by trained personnel, followed by commissioning and load testing where required. Ongoing inspection and maintenance should also form part of the management plan so damaged, altered or tampered components can be identified and addressed.

Compliance, Testing & Ongoing Performance
Key considerations for selecting, installing, testing and maintaining anti-ligature systems throughout their service life.
Risk Assessment & System Selection
Select the system around the room, assessed ligature risk, fixing conditions and required level of release performance.
Trained Installation
Anti-ligature systems should be installed by trained personnel in line with the manufacturer’s requirements.
Commissioning & Load Testing
Load-release systems should be tested after installation to confirm performance, with results included in the handover.
Inspection & Maintenance
Regular inspection and load testing help identify damage, tampering or changes that could affect system performance.
