Fixed and Removable Wall Mount Belt Barriers

Frequently Asked Questions: Fixed and Removable Wall Mounted Belt Barriers

Q: What is the difference between fixed and removable wall mounts?
A: Fixed wall mounts are designed for permanent installation, where the belt housing is screwed directly into the wall. Removable wall mounts, on the other hand, use a mounting plate that stays on the wall while allowing the belt housing to clip on and off as needed for more flexible use.

Q: How do I install a fixed wall mount?
A: Fixed mounts are attached using screws and anchors appropriate for your wall type (drywall, concrete, etc.). The housing is secured directly to the wall, providing a strong, permanent solution for high-traffic or long-term barrier setups.

Q: How does the removable wall mount work?
A: The removable option includes a mounting plate that is screwed into the wall. The belt barrier unit can then be easily clipped onto or off of this plate—ideal for situations where the barrier is only needed at certain times or locations.

Q: Are these mounts suitable for all wall types?
A: Yes, both fixed and removable mounts can be installed on most wall surfaces. Be sure to use the correct anchors and hardware based on whether you're mounting to drywall, masonry, wood, or other surfaces.

Q: Can I relocate a fixed or removable mount later?
A: Fixed mounts can be removed, but doing so will leave holes in the wall. Removable mounts are more flexible—once the wall plate is installed, the belt housing can be moved between multiple mounting plates as needed.

Q: What belt lengths are available?
A: Belt lengths vary by model, but common lengths include 20, 25 & 30 Ft. Make sure to choose the appropriate size for your space and coverage needs.

Q: Are these units compatible with standard stanchions or wall receivers?
A: Yes, standard belt ends are designed to clip into compatible wall receivers or the tops of most retractable belt stanchions. This allows for seamless integration with your existing crowd control setup.

Q: Are fixed/removable wall mounts suitable for outdoor use?
A: These units are intended primarily for indoor or covered use. While they may handle occasional exposure, prolonged outdoor use can cause wear to the retractable belt mechanism and finish.

Q: How does the belt braking system work?
A: The internal braking system is designed to slow the belt's retraction speed, preventing it from snapping back quickly. It operates automatically for safety and ease of use.
