Many types of facilities can benefit from guard booths, but the top five include nuclear facilities, government facilities, military bases, educational institutions, and commercial properties.

You can also use them for parks, outdoor recreational areas, and warehouses – anywhere you need a secure and warm – or cool – entry point.

Nuclear and Energy Facilities

Security guard booths help establish boundaries around nuclear and energy facilities. They protect the security guards from people who might try to compromise a nuclear plant. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulates all security at nuclear plants, including physical security and digital security.

In addition to the protection a bulletproof security booth offers, it gives the security guards a warm place to do their work.

Government Facilities and Military Bases

There is always the threat of an attack on military and government facilities, whether on our soil or those properties the government and / or military own in other countries. Keeping facilities safe requires prefab guard booths with ballistic materials.

We use the most advanced blast- and bullet-resistant materials, including steel-reinforced walls, bullet-resistant glass, and sliding gun ports. You can even order your security booth with heat and air conditioning to keep your guards comfortable while doing their jobs.

Placing a security booth at each entrance, and even inside the buildings significantly reduces the risk of someone with ill intentions causing trouble or shooting up the facility.

Educational Institutions

Educational institutions, including elementary schools and high schools, are more dangerous as we see more people bringing weapons to school. You can help minimize the risk of school shootings by implementing guard booths for non-students entering campus and for those students who are checking in late.

Guard booths will help administrators, teachers and students feel safer.

You can configure the security guard booth in any way you need it, including computer systems and lights. You can also get them in the color you want, so they fit in with the campus.

Putting a booth at every entry point on campus will help reduce unwanted people from entering the campus when they are not supposed to be there.

Commercial Properties

You can add safety to commercial properties by implementing the use of security guards and security guard booths. You can configure the guard booths as you need them, including adding spotlights, door locks, spotlights, security windows and more.

Choose the thickness of safety glass you think you need for your business.

Security windows can be sliding, reach through, or even solid. You can add heat and air conditioning to the booths. Configure them with the computer systems you need to make your guards' jobs easier.
