Ensuring safety at events and facilities is a top priority for any organizer. From large-scale concerts to courthouse lobbies, security screening with metal detectors has become standard practice. However, not every organization needs to purchase this equipment outright for occasional use. Security metal detector rentals offer a convenient and cost-effective way to bolster security as needed. Point Security Inc provides a range of security equipment rental options – including walk-through metal detectors, handheld wands, and even advanced millimeter wave scanners to meet various screening needs.
Walk-Through Metal Detectors
Walk-through metal detectors are the familiar gateway-style units you often see at the entrances of venues and checkpoints. They create an electromagnetic field to detect metallic objects on a person as they pass through. These detectors are ideal for high-traffic entry points at concerts, conferences, sporting events, and schools, where fast and efficient screening is crucial. Many modern walk-through detectors feature multi-zone alert lights and alarms to pinpoint where a threat object is on the body, speeding up resolution. They are also designed to be compact and portable, making setup and relocation quick – a big advantage when you need temporary security for an event.
Handheld Metal Detectors
Handheld metal detectors – often called security wands – are lightweight devices used by security personnel to scan individuals up close. They are typically used as a secondary screening tool: for example, if a walk-through detector alerts, an officer uses a handheld wand to locate the exact position of the metal object on the person. These wands are highly portable and easy to operate, making them useful at venues of all sizes. From nightclubs and school entrances to VIP lines at galas, handheld detectors allow guards to quickly check people without physical pat-downs. Modern handheld wands are very sensitive and even self-calibrating, reducing the need for constant adjustments. They run on battery power (often lasting many hours between charges) and require no complex setup, so security staff can use them anywhere, anytime.
Millimeter Wave Scanners
Millimeter wave scanners are the advanced full-body scanners often seen in airports and high-security facilities. Unlike traditional metal detectors which only spot metallic objects, millimeter wave scanners use low-power radio waves to detect a wide range of concealed threats on a person’s body. When someone stands in the scanner, it can identify weapons, explosives, or other prohibited items hidden under clothing. These scanners provide a quick, contactless scan in seconds, all while being harmless to individuals. They are ideal for situations where the highest level of security screening is required – for example, VIP events, government security checkpoints, or anywhere that needs to detect non-metallic threats that metal detectors might miss. Deploying a millimeter wave scanner adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
