Types of wall-mounted belt barriers

Traditional belt barriers attach to the wall with a receiving clip at the opposite side of the room that the end of the belt snaps into. Removable wall mounts include a panel that attaches to the wall, and the belt slips over this panel when in use. This allows users to completely remove the belt and place it out of the way when not in use. To prevent tangles in the belt, opt for retractable belt barriers that roll up inside the wall mount for storage. Wall mounts with loops are meant to hook velvet ropes instead of belts for a more elegant look and feel.

Wall-mount belt barrier features

Some safety barriers have imprinted signs to help guide visitors. They might advise "caution," "please wait," "out of service," or "do not enter." These are useful if there is no security guard to give instructions. The belts come in bright colors such as yellow, red, blue, purple, or green, which stand out to visitors, and some of them are marked with black and yellow stripes for demarcating hazardous areas. Black barriers match any decor color scheme. Select versions include tamper-proof locks, and most models come with installation hardware. The barriers come in different lengths ranging from 7 to 30 feet. Measure the area where the belt will go before making a purchase so it's guaranteed to fit.
