title: Special report. A new look at security and parking booths: What's available? How much will it cost?
abstract: As users increasingly look to pre-fabricated security control booths--with units coming either completely pre-assembled including wiring or shipped in modular wall sections--they also are requesting a wide array of security features to meet their needs and comply with requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These requirements cover such areas as ground and floor space, floor surfaces, turning radius within the booth, door clearance and threshold heights, counter and transaction windows, ceiling heights, and ramps. Costs of security, parking, and cashier booths vary greatly depending on the options selected. In this report, we will examine new developments in pre-fabricated booths and how manufacturers are employing security devices based on requests from users.
