The Door Switch
The Door Switch is an over-the-door pressure switch that activates an alarm when patients try to hurt themselves by using the top of a door. The Door Switch was invented by a facility manager of a psychiatric facility in 2006 and developed by a commercial door company in St. Louis. This patented device retrofits on your existing doors, maintains the patient’s privacy and has been proven to work. The Door Switch has been developed at a beta site for three years where it has been redesigned to remove all hinge points and create the most effective product possible.
