Whether you have a good idea of what you're looking for or no idea where to start, this simple guide can help you determine which type of crowd control solution will best serve you and your business.
Retractable Belt Barriers
 Retractable belt barrier systems are often the most economical way to implement line management and crowd control. If you're looking for a flexible system that is easy to set-up, simple to store and easy to expand or change, retractable belt barriers are ideal.
You'll find these systems everywhere from airports and retail stores to banks and nightclubs and everywhere in between.
We carry the following retractable belt lines:
- Tensabarrier by Lawrence
- Beltrac by Lavi
- Retracta-Belt by Visiontron
- QueueMaster by Queue Solutions
- QueueWay Retractable Belt Barriers
You have the option of purchasing a complete crowd control system kit but in most cases stanchion posts with tape are sold individually. There are several options when choosing the color, finish and style of your base, the post and the length and color of your tape. With each manufacturer offering so many different choices for customization, your options are endless!
Post and Rope Systems
 When you want to make an elegant impression, post and rope systems bring both style and efficiency to your crowd control. With a variety of stanchion styles, colors and finishes and tons of rope and chain options, it's easy to create a classy crowd control system that compliments your decor.
Post and rope systems are most often used in theaters, hotels and other upscale venues where appearance really matters. The stanchion post and the ropes are sold separately. In most cases you can interchange parts from different manufacturers for these systems.
Wall Mount Systems
 Units that mount right to your wall are perfect for creating a barrier that can be implemented quickly, as needed. They can be used together or in conjunction with retractable belt posts.
Most often, wall mount systems are used for closing areas that need to be restricted on particular days or points in a day, such as closing a bathroom for cleaning, or blocking an entrance that isn't open late night.
Outdoor Barriers
 Made of extra heavy-duty metals and plastics, these systems are built to withstand the elements and control your crowds! Outdoor barricades work hard and stay tough when you need them to.
Commonly used for concert venues, parks, festivals and other outdoor applications.

No matter how you place your order, you'll have to make a few key decisions first:
- Determine which type of crowd control system is right for you
- Figure out what kind of layout you will use and how many posts you will need. The rule of thumb for retractable belt systems is to place a post every 6-feet. For Post and Rope systems, stanchions should be slightly closer to one another (approximately 5'7" apart) so the ropes hang properly with a slight dip. Check out the suggested layouts below for some standard layouts and ideas (create a compilation diagram with suggested layouts from kit diagrams)
- Choose your stanchion posts, including their color and their finish
- Choose your belt or rope type, depending on what type of system you've selected
- Don't forget any accessories or signage you might need.
