Walk-through metal detector at a building entrance

Overview

Screening that moves people through quickly and catches what it should.

Entrance screening fails in two ways: it misses threats, or it creates a line so long that people find another door. Harb installs walk-through detectors calibrated for your environment and lays out the screening point so throughput stays high.

We pair detectors with cameras, access control and lighting at the same entrance so the whole vestibule works as one system, and we train your staff on daily testing and procedure.

  • Handheld wands
  • Calibrated for your site
  • High-throughput layouts

What Harb's screening installation gives you

  • Walk-through detectors

    Multi-zone detectors that show where on the body an object is, with sensitivity programs for your environment.

  • Handheld wands

    Secondary screening wands for alarms and for entrances that do not justify a portal.

  • Calibration

    Sensitivity set for your traffic and threats, then verified with daily test procedures.

  • Throughput

    Screening-point layouts, tables and queue design that keep lines moving.

  • Cameras and access

    Entrance cameras and controlled doors so screening is recorded and bypass is prevented.

  • Training and support

    Staff training on operation, testing and response, with service when equipment needs attention.

How Harb delivers entrance screening

We design the screening point around your traffic and your building, not the other way around.

  1. Step 1: Free on-site walkthrough

    We observe your entrance at peak times, count traffic, review the vestibule and discuss the threats and policies that matter to you.

  2. Step 2: Design and written proposal

    We choose detectors and secondary screening, lay out the screening point and price equipment and installation in writing.

  3. Step 3: Installation by Harb crews

    Harb technicians install and power the equipment, calibrate sensitivity for your environment and set up cameras and controlled doors.

  4. Step 4: Training and ongoing support

    We train your screening staff, document daily test procedures and provide service and recalibration as needed.

FAQ

Questions about metal detectors

Still have a question? Call (440) 783-0216 and talk to a technician, not a call center.

  • Will it slow down our entrance?

    Not if the screening point is designed properly. Multi-zone detectors and a good queue layout keep throughput high. We observe your traffic first and design for your peak.

  • Can sensitivity be adjusted?

    Yes. Detectors have selectable programs, and we calibrate them for your environment so belts and phones do not stop the line while real threats do.

  • Can we move the detector for events?

    Yes. We offer portable portals and wands for gyms, stadiums and temporary events, and can set them up for you.

  • Do you train our staff?

    Yes. Training on operation, daily testing and alarm response is included, and we document the procedures for your team.
