ProEnc’s Suicide Resistant TV Solutions.
ProEnc’ s suicide resistant TV cabinets are used in behavioural and mental health units, preventing vulnerable patients and from harming themselves.
What is suicide resistant?
Well first we have to look at suicide itself; this is the act a person does to themselves, to intentionally take their own life. Now this can be down to several factors, such as; mental illness, personality disorder, drug or alcohol addiction and even schizophrenia.
It is a known fact, once someone tried to self-harm, they will continue until they are successful at suicide, which is sad.
A report for carried out in 16 American states in 2008 that discovered the main factors in suicide are:
- 45% mental illness
- 32% intimate partner
- 28% recent crisis
- 22% physical health
- 12% problems at work
- 12% financial problems
ProEnc’s suicide resistant TV protection.
ProEnc have designed a specialized protective psychiatric TV enclosure, which protects the television from unauthorized access and damage. As well as the damage, patients cannot access the mounting bracket or cables to use as an aid in their suicide.
Their protective suicide resistant TV solution is made from steel, fully welded and powder coated white.
This is mounted directly to the wall and the TV is mounted on the supplied TV bracket, which can be tilted if required. Once the television is mounted securely on the bracket, the door is secured into position with 2 concealed hinges and 2 high security locks – this is the most secure but yet, most cost effective solution on the market for behavioural and mental health facilities.
ProEnc’s suicide resistant TV enclosure will withstand chairs and heavy objects being thrown at the front viewing window, due to how it’s mounted and the thickness, again this was specified at 3/8” thick.

- Thickest viewing window in the industry at 3/8”– the average is less than ¼”.
