Royal Star & Garter

built home in Surbiton is the latest of the charity’s new care

developments, providing 24 hour nursing care within a

homelike environment. Originally a home for injuried WW1

veterans to return to, the charity now provides long and short

term care for ex-service people and their close family. The

home is specially equipped with 63 en-suite rooms and a

dedicated dementia area, with 26 rooms for residents who

require specialist support.

Royal Star & Garter’s aim was to make sure that every room

was specially equipped to suit the individual resident’s needs.

Therefore, the access control solution had to reflect this

ethos. With this in mind, Allgood Tio supplied and installed

an advanced access control package, containing proximity

readers, proximity lever handle sets, safety sensors and

automatic door operators.

Allgood Trio worked with Scurr & Partners Architects to

provide a low key, yet highly secure access control package,

that allows staff to control the access given to residents,

without causing any disturbance or confusion. This met Royal

Star & Garter’s idealogy of having a secure building, whilst

maintaining it’s homelike and comfy atmosphere.

Royal Star & Garter’s dedicated dementia area required an

access control package that kept within the main interior

theme, that used contrasting colours to help residents

navigate their way round the building. Allgood Trio were

especially asked to provide a practical and aesthetically

pleasing lever handle set, that would suit this contrast,

whilst maintaining it’s homelike atmosphere. Taking this into

consideration, we supplied our Salto lever handle set with

41020 FSB lever handles; combining Salto’s efficient software

alongside FSB’s ergonomic lever handles, in a polished brass

finish.
