Prefab Guard Booths & Guardhouses in St. Louis, MO
A guard booth works best when the driver approach and attendant workspace are designed together. Prefabricated guardhouses provide an enclosed station for check-in, screening, and vehicle documentation without treating the entrance like an indoor office.
Our free design consultation turns your gate sketch into a layout and itemized quote, including the selected booth equipment and setting responsibilities.
Start with the lane, then arrange the booth
At Bridgeton, Wentzville, and Earth City entrances, truck traffic sets the design agenda. Show the direction vehicles arrive, where they pause, and how an attendant exchanges paperwork. A well-placed window should serve the intended lane without forcing the employee to reorganize the desk for every transaction.
Hot, humid summers and cold winters make conditioning important at frequently opened gate stations. Multiple shifts also call for storage and a counter arrangement that leaves attendants room to move.
Panel Built manufactures these booths in the US. A compact single-person 4x6 format and larger multi-person guardhouses offer different starting points. Factory assembly can include wiring, lighting, counters, and HVAC. Engineered drawings describe the chosen configuration and connection locations; the manufacturer warranty is reviewed with the order documentation.
Before delivery, the project manager checks the access route and setting plan with your team. We manage and schedule experienced installation crews through vetted installation partners. The selected unit may be handled by forklift or crane, with equipment arrangements and utility responsibilities established in advance rather than assumed to be part of every package.

Guardhouse choices that support the attendant
Separate the features staff need for every shift from options tied to the entrance security brief.
- Position sliding service windows toward the intended vehicle stopping point.
- Compare insulated perimeter glazing against visibility and interior storage needs.
- Arrange factory-installed counters, shelves, and equipment openings for gate tasks.
- Select heating and cooling for an occupied entrance station.
- Review bullet-resistant wall and glazing options when the brief calls for them.
- Consider larger layouts with a restroom, storage closet, or equipment rack area.
- Choose exterior colors and finishes in relation to the surrounding facility.
- Receive the booth fully assembled and wired for the agreed forklift or crane setting plan.
Entrance tasks suited to an enclosed station
- Driver check-in before access to distribution yards.
- Scale-house paperwork and attendant workstations.
- Employee and visitor screening at manufacturing entrances.
- Parking or yard entry points with staffed transactions.

Gate planning along regional freight routes
The airport and I-70/I-270 corridor connect Berkeley, Hazelwood, and Bridgeton. Discuss your own truck movements and entrance restrictions so the booth layout reflects how the site operates.
Support the gate with the right interior spaces
Entrance screening, dispatch, and staff breaks have different room requirements. Keep those roles clear when comparing the rest of the modular range.
