People purchase metal detectors because of a potential threat of violence or to protect valuable assets.

There are two types of metal detectors provided by Firex Security HandHeld and Walkthrough metal detectors.
1. Handheld: The handheld metal detectors are light in weight and suit different environments such as airports, warehouses, department stores, close protection services, hospitals, industrial sites, government buildings, police, seaports, schools, shops, conferences, sport events and retail outlets. They are mainly used by security guards.

2. Walkthrough: The walkthrough is used for accurate weapons detection such as guns, knives and other flat and rod-shaped weapons regardless of their orientation. Other personal items, such as keys, coins, and belt buckles can pass through them without causing alarms and this can be modified depending on the sensitivity and the program chosen for the machine. They are easy and effective to install and operate.

They are vital to the success of every security checkpoint installation because they offer consistent scanning of harmful metals. Metal detectors are commonly used in Banks, Public buildings; Industry, Prisons, Stadiums, Hospitals, Power plants, Hotels, Restaurants, Military establishments or any place where high security is required.
