What’s the difference between a deal tray and a security drawer?

• Deal trays are typically used for smaller items like cash, IDs, keys, or documents.
• Security drawers can be larger to handle bulkier items like packages or book bags.

Generally, larger drawers increase cost, so sizing should match your application.

How do I choose the right size for a security drawer or deal tray?

Consider what you’ll be passing through the window:

• Small items → Deal tray or small drawer
• Larger items/packages → Medium security drawer or Large security drawer

Selecting the appropriate size ensures efficiency without unnecessary cost.

How will staff communicate with customers through the window?

You have several options:

• Speak-thru (non-amplified): Simple and cost-effective
• Amplified speaker or intercom: Ideal for noisy environments

Speak-thrus can be made from materials like clear bullet resistant lexan, aluminum, or stainless steel. For louder environments, amplified systems are recommended, but they affect the cost significantly.

What level of security glass do I need?

Security levels vary depending on your risk and application:

• 1/4” Tempered glass
• 3/4” Smash & Grab resistant glass (hurricane impact rated)
• Level 1 Bullet Resistant
• Level 3 Bullet Resistant

Higher security levels provide greater protection but impact cost and design options.

Should I choose a fixed or operable security window?

It depends on how you want to interact with customers:

Fixed Pane Windows

• Maximum security and weather protection
• All transactions occur through tray or drawer

Operable Pane Windows combined with Deal Tray or Security Drawer

• Allows face-to-face interaction when needed
• Can still include a tray/drawer for secure transactions during certain dayparts or for certain types of interactions.

What should I consider for drive-thru vs. walk-up applications?

• Drive-thru: Choose a drawer with a flip-down or flip-back face for easy reach from vehicles
• Walk-up: Standard deal trays or drawers where you reach in from the top usually work well. These generally cost less than drawers used for drive thru.

Can security windows be customized for my project?

• Custom window sizes
