Benefits of Having a Guard Booth with Restroom

Equipping your guard booth with a built-in restroom enables your security officers to remain on post with minimal interruptions, allowing them to function at their best. There are numerous advantages to outfitting your guard booth with a restroom. Little Buildings, Inc. specializes in designing and constructing prefabricated welded steel security booths with integrated restrooms. This blog aims to delve deeper into the benefits of a Little Buildings guard booth with a restroom.

Reduces The Operational Downtime at a Staffed Guard House with Restroom

A Little Buildings integrated restroom guard house, guard booth, security booth or guard shack can significantly reduce downtime at your manned access control point. Traditionally, security booths, guard booths, guard houses, guard shacks or entrance booths are located at the perimeter of a facility, far from the nearest bathroom in the main building. This often results in security officers being away from their post for 10-20 minutes when they need to use the restroom, leaving the facility vulnerable and unsecured.

By incorporating a restroom within the guard house, security personnel can quickly attend to their biological needs without being away from their post for an extended period. This ensures that the facility remains properly secured at all times, even during restroom breaks. Additionally, installing a one-way window in the restroom door allows for enhanced security measures while maintaining privacy for the guard.

Ideal for a Single Guard on Duty

In addition, having a restroom in your guard booth can be extremely beneficial, especially when you are limited to a single guard on duty. Security managers typically prefer their personnel to remain at their post at all times, and having a restroom within the security guard booth eliminates the need for guards to leave their post unattended for restroom breaks. This is particularly advantageous when guards have to travel to a bathroom in the main building, as it can compromise security.

Ideal for Overnight Shifts

Furthermore, having a guard booth with a restroom is ideal for overnight shifts, as main buildings where guards might typically go to use the bathroom are often locked during this time. This ensures that guards can remain at their post throughout their shift without any interruptions.

Why Choose Little Buildings, Inc.

The process of installing a Little Buildings guard booth with a restroom is simple and efficient. Once the Little Buildings prefabricated, portable guard booth is delivered to the site and set over the utility stub-ups, a plumber will set up the lavatory and water closet, along with surface-mounted piping on the walls of the guard house restroom. For added convenience, the guard house can be equipped with a factory-installed plumbing package that requires only a single water supply connection and one sewer hookup.

Additionally, Little Buildings offers various optional restroom packages for guard booths, security booths, guardhouses, security guard houses or guard shacks, including chemical, composting, or electric toilets. These options are particularly useful for locations where running sewer and water pipes to a remote or distant post is not feasible due to cost constraints.
