How do Mantrap Security Doors and Portal Work?
A mantrap security door or portal is a specific point of entry that allows authorized persons to enter by means of access control and restricts entrance to unauthorized entities. It is a type of security system designed to monitor, control and ensure that people who are allowed to enter certain premises do not bring in weapons, explosives, or other forbidden items and people who are banned from entering are prevented from getting inside the building.
The Components of a Mantrap Security Door or Portal
A mantrap security door or portal usually consists of two doors that are interconnected so that the space created is secure and very small. The main components are the following:
- Outer Door: This is the entrance point through which you can enter the mantrap.
- Inner Door: The gateway that leads to the secured area.
- Sensors and Access Controls: These are the card readers, biometric scanners, or PIN keys, which help the user log in.
- Locking Mechanism: The two doors are interconnected so that one door would remain locked when another one is open. No one is allowed to pass while both of them are open.
- Monitoring System: Cameras and sensors are installed in some areas ensure unauthorized people don't go through the entrance.
How a Mantrap Security Door or Portal Functions
The functionality of a mantrap security door is straightforward but highly effective for controlling access. Here’s how it works step by step:
- Access Authorization: A user approaches the mantrap and presents credentials via an access control system such as a keycard, fingerprint scanner, or facial recognition.
- Outer Door Unlocks: Once the credentials are verified, the outer door unlocks, allowing the user to enter the mantrap compartment.
- Outer Door Secures: After entry, the outer door automatically locks to prevent anyone else from following in.
- Identity Verification: Additional security checks may occur inside the compartment, including weight sensors, biometrics, or surveillance verification.
- Inner Door Unlocks: Once the user is cleared, the inner door unlocks, allowing access to the secure area. If verification fails, the user is denied entry, and the outer door remains locked.
- Controlled Egress: For exiting, the process repeats in reverse, ensuring controlled access at all times.

Protect Your Investment
When an entrance is out of order it can affect the access of hundreds to thousands of people a day. Not only is this inconvenient, but, similar to an automobile, if the entrance did not receive any tune-ups or preventative maintenance, it can also be expensive. If the out of order entrance is a security door or turnstile, your facility is vulnerable to infiltration and stationing a guard to watch the area can be costly.
