Advanced Mantrap Systems for Enhanced Facility Security
Access Control Tek delivers intelligent mantrap solutions that protect critical areas, regulate access, and prevent unauthorized breaches.
Overview
We provide cutting-edge mantrap systems that serve as a critical line of defense for securing high-risk areas in various industries. A mantrap, also known as a sally port, is a physical security control system that uses a series of interlocking doors to manage access to sensitive zones. These systems allow only one door to open at a time, ensuring single-person access and preventing tailgating or unauthorized entry. Ideal for data centers, cleanrooms, correctional facilities, and financial institutions, mantraps play a vital role in regulating movement, verifying identities, and safeguarding assets. With deep expertise and a growing presence across North America, Access Control Tek designs and delivers scalable, compliant, and intelligent mantrap solutions from our headquarters in 156th Avenue Northeast, Bellevue, WA.
