Why Use an Archway Metal Detector?

- Sensitive sites requiring clear bag and body checks
By clearly deterring prohibited items, archway metal detectors help to prevent incidents before they occur and reassure attendees that safety is being prioritised.
Our Security Archway Metal Detector Service Includes:
- Professional-grade detectors with multi-zone detection and adjustable sensitivity
- Delivery, setup, and calibration by trained CWEP staff
- On-site operation by SIA-licensed security personnel
- Secondary screening support, including handheld metal detectors if required
- Queue management and customer communication at entry points
- Clear signage and privacy-sensitive setup
Our team works with your event managers and safety officers to integrate screening seamlessly into your access control strategy.
