Archway Metal Detector

Archway Metal Detector Solutions in Bangladesh

Screen every person at the door, quickly and consistently

Weapons rarely announce themselves. A knife in a pocket or a gun under a jacket can walk straight through an unscreened entrance, and manual pat-downs at a busy door are slow, inconsistent and uncomfortable for everyone. At peak times, guards cut corners, queues build and the screening that was meant to protect the building becomes a formality.

An archway metal detector, also called a walk-through metal detector (WTMD) or door frame metal detector, screens every person who walks through it for metal objects. It does this in seconds, with the same standard every time. When it alarms, it shows where on the body the metal was detected, so guards can check that area with a handheld detector instead of searching the whole person.

Smart Safety & Automations Ltd (SSAL) supplies, installs and calibrates archway metal detectors for government buildings, banks, hotels, hospitals, shopping malls, airports, courts, embassies, factories, educational institutions and event venues across Bangladesh.

Archway Metal Detector Types We Offer

Multi-Zone Archway Metal Detectors
Multiple detection zones across the body show exactly where metal was detected, from head to feet and left to right. This speeds up secondary checks and reduces unnecessary pat-downs.

Single-Zone / Entry-Level Archway Detectors
Cost-effective screening for sites that need basic metal detection without zone indication.

High-Security Archway Detectors
Advanced detectors with higher sensitivity and discrimination for airports, courts, prisons, embassies and government facilities.

Outdoor & Weather-Resistant Archway Detectors
Detectors built to work at outdoor gates, events and temporary checkpoints in heat, rain and dust, on supported models.

Portable / Event Archway Detectors
Lightweight, quick-to-assemble detectors for events, exhibitions, rallies and temporary screening points.

Archway Detectors with Thermal or Camera Features
Detectors with built-in cameras or additional sensors for recording and visual verification, on supported models.

How It Works

01 Walk through
The person walks through the archway at normal pace, after placing bags, phones and keys in a tray or X-ray scanner.

02 Detect
The detector senses metal objects and compares them against the selected security level.

03 Alert
If metal is detected, the detector sounds an alarm and lights up the zone where the object was found.

04 Secondary check
The guard checks the indicated zone with a handheld metal detector.

05 Clear or escalate
The person is cleared, or the item is inspected further according to your security procedure.

Key Features

• Fast throughput: screens people at a normal walking pace, keeping queues moving.
• Multi-zone indication: shows where on the body metal was detected, on multi-zone models.
• Adjustable sensitivity: security levels set to match your threat level and site.
• Discrimination settings: reduce nuisance alarms from small personal items like belt buckles and coins, depending on the model.
• Visual & audible alarms: light bars and sounds that guards can see and hear clearly.
• People & alarm counters: count people screened and alarms raised, for reporting.
• Interference rejection: stable operation near other electronic equipment, on supported models.
• Battery backup: keeps screening during power cuts, on supported models.
• Password-protected settings: stops unauthorized changes to sensitivity and security levels.
• Integration ready: works alongside X-ray baggage scanners, turnstiles, access control and CCTV.

Building a Complete Screening Point

An archway detector works best as part of a layered checkpoint:

• Archway metal detector: primary screening for every person
• Handheld metal detector: secondary checks after an alarm
• X-ray baggage scanner: screens bags, parcels and belongings
• Full body scanner: detects non-metallic items at high-risk points
• Turnstiles or speed gates: make sure only screened people enter
• CCTV: records every screening event

Where Archway Metal Detectors Are Used

• Government Buildings & Ministries: visitor screening at main entrances
• Banks & Financial Institutions: head office and high-value branch entrances
• Hotels & Convention Centers: guest and event screening
• Shopping Malls: public entrance screening
• Hospitals: emergency and main entrance screening
• Airports & Transport Hubs: passenger and staff screening
• Courts & Law Enforcement: visitor and detainee screening
• Embassies & Diplomatic Missions: high-security entry screening
• Educational Institutions: campus and exam hall screening
• RMG Factories & Industrial Sites: staff exit screening for theft prevention
• Stadiums, Events & Religious Gatherings: large-crowd screening

What You Gain

• Consistent screening: every person checked to the same standard.
• Faster entry: less queuing than full manual searches.
• Fewer pat-downs: zone indication focuses secondary checks.
• Visible deterrence: a clear signal that the site is protected.
• Screening records: counters and logs for security reporting.
• Professional security image: an organized, modern checkpoint.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between single-zone and multi-zone detectors?
A single-zone detector tells you that metal was detected. A multi-zone detector also shows where on the body it was found, which makes secondary checks faster and less intrusive.

Will belt buckles and coins set off the alarm?
Sensitivity and discrimination settings can reduce nuisance alarms from small personal items while still detecting threats. We calibrate the detector for your site and security level.

Is it safe for people with pacemakers?
Yes

Can the detector be used outdoors?
Yes, with outdoor or weather-resistant models. Standard indoor models should be protected from rain and direct sun.

Why does the detector give false alarms?
False alarms are often caused by nearby metal structures, electrical cables, other electronic equipment or incorrect calibration. We position and calibrate detectors to reduce interference.

Does the detector work during power cuts?
Models with battery backup keep working during power cuts.

Is the site survey free?
Yes. A certified engineer will visit your site within 48 hours and recommend the right detector.

Do you provide maintenance and recalibration?
Yes. We provide preventive maintenance, recalibration, spare parts and 24/7 emergency support.
