INTERLOCKING SECURITY PODS
A compact unit that ensures there are always two doors, with separate levels of access, between two zones.
INTERLOCKING PODS
Interlocking Pods create a secure holding area between two zones. This holding area can then be used for a multitude of security systems.
Interlocking Pods provide all the benefits of an Interlocking Door System, within a very small footprint, whilst looking very aesthetically appealing. These can be utilised both internally and externally.
Given that they have a small footprint, Interlocking Pods enable sites to have multiple units in parallel. This allows for a relatively high flow rate of pedestrian traffic, whilst maintaining stringent security protocols.
KEY BENEFITS OF INTERLOCKING PODS
Small Footprint
Whilst the traditional Interlocking Door System (two hinged doors) can be utilised, these systems tend to occupy significantly more floor space.
With Interlocking Pods, the holding area is a modest space between the two doors. This benefit is achievable thanks to the unique nature of the semicircular doors.
Incorporating the holding area within the Pod could reduce the need for security staff having to monitor other larger areas.
MAXIMISE SPACE
PODS CAN BE INSTALLED IN PARALLEL
COULD REDUCE SECURITY PERSONAL REQUIREMENTS
Unique Benefits of Interlocking Door Systems
Interlocking Doors utilise two doors, to create three separate zones, of different security requirements.
These three zones, and the protocols associated can affect the way pedestrian traffic flows in each direction. Combinations of Access Control Media and other sensors can be utilised in each of these three zones, to manage the control of access.
All safety and security functions within the door’s software/hardware can be adjusted according to time, date and various Access Control parameters, on the fly.
TAILGATING / PIGGYBACKING PREVENTION
ANTI-PASS BACK PROTECTION
THREE ZONES OF SECURITY CHECKS
Physical Security
Regardless of the sophisticated electronic security protocols and monitoring systems put in place, the physical security of the units is important, as this will always be the last line of defence.
Constructed from a variety of security glass (BR3S P6B), and reinforced steel, as stand-alone units these pods provide excellent physical protection for all three zones of the interlocking system.

Electronic Security (Access Control)
Separate levels of security protocol can be applied, via Access Control, in all three of the zones created by the Interlocking Door System.
Usage Example
1) Long-range Access Control Media on the person could open the first door, for speed of access. The first door could then lock behind them. 2) Further recognition could be required, such as biometrics (face recognition, weight, fingerprint scans), to open the next door. 3) Further manned / CCTV checks could be implemented within the reception area, once they have passed through the second door.
