As part of the Bolton NHS Foundation Trust , the hospital serves a diverse population with an array of medical services . The recent refurbishment of the Rivington Unit highlights this commitment , with a special emphasis on enhancing security measures .
The project was part of a trust-wide fire door replacement scheme , which also included upgrades to the unit ’ s security system . In
mental health care , creating a secure environment is crucial for both patients and staff . The Rivington Unit needed a robust security solution that met these rigorous standards .

The DOM rs Sirius ® key profile , named after the brightest star in the night sky , delivers top-tier security at an economical price . Ideal for all applications and system sizes , it features advanced key copy protection with innovative “ Starline ” technology and a key catch that prevents manipulation .
