Security guard booths can be found all around the world. You can find them at stadiums, parking structures, facilities, theme parks, or anywhere a checkpoint is needed to gain entry. These booths come in varying shapes and sizes and can be as simple or elaborate as you need them to be. They can also be adjusted for however many people you want them to accommodate, whether it be one person or many. 

These guard booths typically come ready-made, making the setup process extremely easy. Some of them come completely assembled and just need to be placed in the proper area to be used. Others can be custom-made to suit your needs. Most of them are manufactured with anodized aluminum or steel with rust-retardant finishes.

Let’s talk about the benefits of choosing a pre-fabbed security guard booth.

One of the biggest reasons why a security booth is so appealing is the cost savings. Because these booths are pre-fabbed into separate pieces, setup is extremely easy. You can reduce labor by an estimated 70% compared to traditional construction costs. 

Permitting

Depending on the location of your facility, permitting modular offices and security booths is much smoother. Manufacturers have already been through the process to make sure their materials meet certain requirements and local codes. Faster permitting could potentially save you time and money, making it much easier to get you up and running.

This booth isn’t just a great way to house a guard. Sending the right message that your facility is guarded acts as an effective deterrent to keep most unwanted visitors away. It puts off a signal to others that your area secure and will have no issues keeping things in or out. Getting the right size, color, and features can show not only others but your employees that they are safe and secure from any threat.
