Advanced Weapons Screening You Can Rent for Any Event
When you are responsible for the safety of a crowd, the entrance is where it counts. Premier Security rents the CEIA OpenGate walkthrough metal detector to event organizers, venues, and security teams who need serious weapons screening without the cost and commitment of buying equipment outright. Whether you are running a single concert or screening guests at a season of games, renting puts proven detection technology at your entrance for exactly as long as you need it.
The OpenGate is built for the realities of live events. It is a free-standing, two-pillar system with no crossbar and no mechanical connection between the pillars, so it sets up at almost any entrance in minutes rather than hours. It screens guests as they walk through at a natural pace. Bins and pat-downs aren’t needed, and no asking everyone to empty their pockets of phones and keys. That keeps your lines moving and your guests calm while still catching the threats that matter most.
Premier Security handles the rental end to end. We confirm availability for your dates, ship the unit to your venue, and make sure your team knows how to operate it before the doors open. As a licensed and insured security company, we can also staff the screening point with trained officers if you would rather hand off the entire entrance depending on your location. See our event security services for more details. From a single private function to a multi-day festival, we size the solution to the event in front of you.
Why Teams Choose the OpenGate
