Walk-Through Metal Detectors

Pedestrian screening portals for controlled entrances, event venues and institutional facilities.

Every day of the year support for selection, commissioning, operation and service

What this system does

A configuration for the real operating conditions.

A walk-through metal detector is one part of a screening process. TekRabbits helps plan portal position, queuing, operator visibility, alarm response and the relationship with baggage inspection or access control. Sensitivity and operating procedure are commissioned for the actual site rather than presented as one universal setting.

TekRabbits reviews the site and recommends a system with the necessary controls, protection and manual procedures. Final capacities, options and interfaces are confirmed in the quotation for your installation.

Screening station in detail

Walk-Through Metal Detectors in operation.

A detector portal is effective when the queue, operator and secondary check area work together. Sensitivity and alarm procedure are set for the installed environment, with a repeatable test routine for staff.

Detector portal and alarm indicator detail
Portal positioning and alarm indications should remain easy for the operator to see without blocking the exit path.
Staffed queue and secondary screening area
A clear route separates arrivals, screened visitors and any person needing a secondary check.
Illustrated visitor, detector and operator flow
Place the portal

Measure the approach, clear passage and distance from large metal structures or electrical sources.

Set screening rules

Agree sensitivity, staffing, prohibited-item handling and the route for a secondary check.

Test the checkpoint

Verify alarm indication with an agreed test object, pedestrian flow and operator response.

Keep checks repeatable

Record test frequency, cleaning and fault reporting; TekRabbits is available every day of the year.

Specification guide

What we check before recommending a system.

The questions below shape capacity, installation effort, controls and safety. A short site survey or clear photographs and dimensions can resolve many of them before the quotation.

  • Plan queue space and a controlled secondary-check area.
  • Check nearby metal structures and electrical interference.
  • Agree on operator procedure, alarm indication and testing schedule.

Frequently asked

Walk-Through Metal Detectors: common questions

Specific answers about configurations, site preparation, safety and support for walk-through metal detectors.

Ask about your site
What configurations of walk-through metal detectors are available?

The TekRabbits range covers Door-frame metal detector. We narrow the choice using the site conditions and confirm the exact capacity and options in the proposal.

What does Door-frame metal detector do?

A fixed screening portal for people entering a controlled area; sensitivity and alarm procedure are set during commissioning. The final arrangement depends on the site's layout and operating procedure.

What measurements are needed before choosing walk-through metal detectors?

Plan queue space and a controlled secondary-check area. Measurements let us check capacity and fit instead of guessing from a product name.

Which operating conditions affect the recommendation?

Check nearby metal structures and electrical interference. Tell us about peak use and any unusual environment so the equipment and controls fit daily operation.

What should be planned for safety and abnormal operation?

Agree on operator procedure, alarm indication and testing schedule. We agree the protective devices and manual procedure for the installed configuration before commissioning.

Can this system connect to other controls?

A portal can provide alarm or relay signals to compatible access controls, provided the site's screening procedure and safe exit route remain clear. We confirm the electrical interface and who responds to an alarm before specifying the connection.

Can this be added to an existing site?

Yes, where the existing entrance has room for a controlled approach, an operator position and a secondary-check area. We also review nearby metal structures, electrical interference and the available power supply.

What maintenance should the system receive?

Use an agreed test object to check detection and alarm indication at documented intervals. Keep the portal clean, inspect indicators and cabling, and record faults or changes to sensitivity for the responsible operator.

Does support every day of the year end after the first year?

No. “Every day of the year” describes when the TekRabbits support route is available, rather than a one-year after-sales term. On-site attendance, parts and response targets are set in the project agreement.

How do I request a recommendation for walk-through metal detectors?

Use the Automation Services enquiry page. Share site location, dimensions, expected use, existing equipment and your preferred timeline. The selected product family is carried into the form.

Ready to specify walk-through metal detectors?

Tell us the site type, dimensions, expected use and any existing equipment. We’ll help choose a configuration that fits.
