Custom Buildings and Shelters Provide Versatility to Security Design

March 6, 2007: ST. LOUIS, MO ? Careful precise planning is a must. Every inch must be accounted for. For anyone who?s held the responsibility of laying out security, guard and access control systems, there?s no overlooking the importance of attention to detail.

The detail-driven nature of security lends itself well to custom products that can efficiently be built to suit any given design. St. Louis based modular building manufacturer Porta-King provides the security industry with custom guard booths and buildings designed to suit new and existing layouts that demand a specific set of dimensions and features to be effective. The company has been manufacturing custom guard buildings for over 30 years.

?Security is an interesting industry because what works for one particular customer?s layout and schematics will probably not be an exact fit for the next customer,? Porta-King Vice President Gregg Pearlstone said. ?We offer custom design as a standard, because it allows customers at least one aspect of their overall plan that will work around them, rather than the other way around.?

Porta-King customers can also choose between galvanized steel and anodized aluminum construction. Most Porta-King guard buildings models can also designed to include ballistic rated construction. On-site installation and field support are also available to help customers become fully operational as quickly and effectively as possible.

?By building our structures in-house and providing the option of off-load and anchoring, we?re able to eliminate the inevitable downtime and hassles that come with traditional construction.? Pearlstone said. ?Turnkey installation and field support give customers the efficiency and quality they require.?

According to Pearlstone, Porta-King also manufactures a full line of towers to create elevated structures for security personnel.

Porta-King has been a leader in custom-designed buildings and shelters since 1969. In addition to guard buildings, Porta-King manufactures pre-fabricated buildings, a full line of modular wall systems and enclosures, shelters and structural mezzanines. Porta-King buildings provide shelter, storage and security solutions for virtually any working environment. For more information, visit www.portaking.com or call 800-284-5346.
