Man Traps
Secure Entry Solutions with Man Traps for Toronto Properties
At The Safe Depot, we offer expertly designed and installed man traps—a critical security feature for controlling and monitoring access to sensitive areas. Man traps create a controlled entry space with two sequential doors that ensure only authorized individuals gain access.
Ideal for commercial, institutional, and high-security environments, man traps provide an effective physical barrier to prevent tailgating, unauthorized entry, and enhance overall security.
What Are Man Traps?
A man trap is a secure vestibule equipped with two interlocking doors. When the first door closes, the second door cannot open until proper authorization is verified. This system ensures that only one person enters at a time, preventing unauthorized access and reducing security risks.
Man traps are commonly used in:
-
Data centers
-
Financial institutions
-
Laboratories and pharmaceutical facilities
-
Government buildings
-
High-value storage and vault areas

Man Traps — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a man trap and how does it work?
A man trap is a secure vestibule with two interlocking doors. The second door only unlocks after the first door closes and authorization is verified (card, PIN, biometrics, or guard release). This prevents tailgating/piggybacking and ensures one-person-at-a-time entry.
Where are man traps typically used?
Common deployments include data centers, banks/financial institutions, labs & pharma, government facilities, airports, high-value storage, and vault areas—anywhere single-person verification and anti-tailgating are critical.
Can a man trap integrate with our existing security systems?
Yes. We integrate with access control, biometrics (fingerprint/face), intercom, video surveillance, metal detection, visitor management, and alarms. Event logs sync to your existing platform for audits and compliance.
Can surveillance and facial recognition be integrated with other security systems?
Absolutely. Our systems integrate seamlessly with access control, alarm systems, and intercoms, creating a unified security network that automates workflows and strengthens overall protection.
How do I size and configure a man trap for my site?
We right-size based on throughput, risk level, and space constraints. Options include presence sensors, weight sensors, anti-passback logic, anti-piggyback analytics, ballistic/attack-resistant materials, and multi-factor authentication.
