With an increasing emphasis throughout banking and retail environments for more open communication with the customer there is a conflict with the need for protection against the ever-growing threat of violence, particularly in high-risk areas. To improve communication requires the removal of barriers and screens between the staff and the customer while increased security depends on the opposite. 

Rising bandit screens provide the solution. Concealed within the counter unit the screen rises at a speed of 0.4m per second when activated, providing instant protection for the staff and a barrier to the aggressor

Activated via a range of convenient methods, including push buttons, foot switches, money clips, infrared beam and remote control transmitters, the screens are engineered to the highest specification and can be supplied to a high degree of ballistic protection.

They can also be linked into the intruder alarm and CCTV systems. Designed to suit the individual specification, heights, lengths and level of protection, rising security screens are built to match the décor of the counter. 

The screens not only provide protection, they also enable the staff to feel comfortable working in a more open environment, giving them the confidence of knowing that protection is just a moment away.
