Frame is fabricated of pressed steel sections with integral doorstops and is fully grouted after installation.
It is prepared for the appropriate security hardware including conduit routed internally, and junction boxes.
Can be made with access openings with cover plates as necessary for wiring installations.
The door can be a typical detention security type, prepared for security hinges, electrical or mechanical detention security lock, and position switch indicator.
Door can include conduit routed internally to suit electrically operated hardware when applicable.
Inmate has no access to the outside of the enclosure because there are no grille openings except where desired in the design.
No heat treatment is required for the steel used in the detention hollow metal construction.
There are no openings through which an inmate can reach and harm passers-by. The only openings are staff controlled.
Reduction of visibility, which can occur in a hollow metal assembly, is offset by the proper placement of security glass, perforated plate, wire mesh screen or grille to provide adequate visibility for the purpose of staff observation.
Internally stiffened, insulation filled door construction minimizes the amount of noise to a dull, thudding noise if inmate chooses to beat and kick the cell front. Also the full grouted jambs and mullions are highly effective for noise control.
Hollow metal construction provides a great deal of freedom in the design of cell fronts as well as security window walls, guard enclosures and control stations.
