When it comes to managing access to corridors and isles, wall-mounted retractable belt barriers can be a great solution. They can be easily mounted to a wall or any flat surface, making them a perfect choice for restricting access to certain closed areas.

In this blog post, we’ll be discussing the different mounting options available for wall-mounted retractable belt barriers and how to choose the right one for your needs.

They are permanently attached to the wall or surface with screws or bolts, making them a sturdy and long-lasting option. This type of barrier is best suited for areas where the barrier will be in use for permanently. Fixed mount barriers are available in a wide range of belt lengths, making suitable for creating a barrier from just a few feet up to 75 feet.
Removable Mount

With this option mounting plates are permanently attached to the wall wherever the barrier is required and the retracting belt unit is moved between the mounting plates as needed. Removable mounts are a flexible option for spaces where the barrier needs to be moved or repositioned frequently. Removable mount barriers are also available in a range of belt lengths and can be a great option for events, trade shows, or temporary spaces.
Magnetic Mount
Magnetic mount retractable belt barriers use strong magnets to attach to metal surfaces, making them a convenient option for temporary installations or spaces where drilling into the wall is not possible. This type of barrier is suited for indoor or outdoor use and can be attached and removed instantly where the barrier is needed. The limitation of this mounting option is, of course, that they can only be used on metal surfaces.
Clamp Mount
Clamp mount retractable belt barriers use hose clamps to attach to a structures like column and pillars. The clamps are made from stainless steel so are suitable for either indoor or outdoor use makeing them a versatile option for a range of settings, including outdoor events, construction sites, and trade shows. Clamp mount barriers are easy to install and remove and can be repositioned as needed. They are also available in a range of belt lengths and colors.

Suction cup mount retractable belt barriers use suction cups to attach to smooth, flat surfaces, such as glass or tile. This makes them a great option for temporary installations in indoor spaces, such as museums or galleries. Suction cup mount barriers are easy to install and remove and can be repositioned as needed. However, they may not be suitable for high-traffic areas or where the wall surface is not smooth.
