KEEPING AIRPORTs SAFE
As the number of travelers increases every year, the importance of reliable security measures also increases. Metal detectors are a critical part of these security measures, and our devices at Garrett are key to the airport security checkpoint experience. Our offerings range from walk-through metal detectors to hand-held detectors used for additional screening. With the increasing threats to transportation in recent years, the need for airport metal detectors has never been more apparent.
Trusted by
WORLD-CLASS ORGANIZATIONS
Garrett Metal Detectors delivers high-performance security solutions designed to meet the specific demands of diverse industries. Our advanced handheld and walk-through detectors provide reliable, efficient threat detection wherever security matters most.
WALK-THROUGH METAL DETECTORS
SECURE, RELIABLE, AND EFFICIENT
TRUSTED WALK-THROUGH DETECTION FOR AIRPORT SECURITY
Walk-through detectors like the Garrett PD 6500i serve as the frontline defense in airport security. This detector meets the world’s highest test standards, including TSA, ECAC, and more, and is certified for use in major international airports. These full-body scanners use magnetic fields to detect metal objects that an individual might have in their possession. When individuals pass through, any presence of metal will disturb the field and alert the TSA officer of a potentially harmful item.
KEY NUMBERS
TSA Certified
The PD 6500i is one of only three walk-through metal detectors currently certified by the TSA, and Paragon is ECAC 2.1 certified with SMD.
Multi-Target Accuracy
Airports can access industry-leading multi-target detection with Paragon’s AI-powered detection. Catch all targets, every time.

Hand-held METAL DETECTORS
SECURE, RELIABLE, AND EFFICIENT
ENHANCED SCREENING WITH HAND-HELD DETECTORS
Our hand-held metal detectors provide an extra layer of security when an additional search is needed for someone’s carry-on items. Rather than sending patrons back through the walkthrough, officers can keep traffic moving by performing a quick scan of the alarm area, guided by the clear indication of the walkthrough’s zone lighting. The THD is also excellent for security patrolling the airport grounds, allowing an immediate screening option for bags, pockets, and other suspicious objects.
- Ultimate Sensitivity
- Support Checkpoint Screening
- Ferrous/Non-Ferrous Detection
- Audio, Vibrate, & Visual Alarms
- Highly Portable
- Self-Calibrating
ENHANCING SAFETY AND SECURITY WITH AIRPORT METAL DETECTORS
Maintaining safety and security is a top priority for any airport, and metal detectors serve as critical assets in meeting this priority. To meet this objective both in our factory and in the field, Garrett products are manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 standards for quality, environmental management, and occupational health & safety. To support this critical application, our metal detectors also meet the world’s highest test certifications for airports, in and out of the United States – TSA, ECAC, STAC, and AENA.
REINFORCING SECURITY
The metal detectors installed in airports must meet requirements set by the Transportation Security Administration, or those set by the aviation authority of the country of installation. The main purpose of these detectors is to flag potential threats, from a simple belt buckle to more harmful items like guns and weapons. In concert with the other screening technologies in an airport checkpoint, like x-ray and milimeter wave detection, Garrett detectors provide a resilient, multi-layer security system that can catch multiple kinds of threat.
Streamlining the Security Line
In tandem with airport divesting procedures and x-ray baggage scanning, metal detectors can screen vast crowds of people with a minimal number of false alarms due to non-threat objects such as knee/joint/hip replacements, pacemakers, and wedding rings. This fast screening process maintains security while maximizing the comfort of ticketholders being screened and ensuring that they will board their flight with peace of mind, confident they’ve entered a safe environment.


INNOVATIVE FEATURES
Users of Garrett’s powerful walkthrough iC Module accessory gain real-time access to all walk-through metal detectors during security screening, and they can adjust settings individually or in groups. Beyond that, they can generate settings reports, view historical throughput data, and track live walkthrough activity from a central facility command center. Paragon’s AI-powered detection capabilities provide zone indication and precision that is second-to-none, with better multi-target capture and reduced indication offset compared with competing products. Ambiscan technology means that Paragon checkpoints have unmatched flexibility and are more human-friendly than competing systems that output irrelevant alarms whenever traffic moves backward through the checkpoint.
Integration with Existing Security Systems
Our metal detectors integrate with existing security procedures at airports, such as x-ray machines and surveillance cameras. End Users can achieve input-output control of their detector as well as live visibility for simultaneous monitoring of x-ray and and metal detection technologies.
