Security Screening You Can Count On — Every Sweep, Every Time
When you’re responsible for the safety of a venue, event, or facility, your equipment can’t have off days. The Pro-Scan handheld metal detector delivers consistent threat detection across a wide range of environmental conditions, identifying concealed handguns, knives, and bladed objects at distances that allow thorough screening without guesswork.
Who This Metal Detector Is For
Event security teams managing venues from concert halls to conference centers rely on handheld scanners for secondary screening after walk-through detectors. School security personnel, courthouse officers, and private security contractors need a scanner that performs reliably through hundreds of screenings per shift.
Business owners who manage nightclubs, warehouses, or restricted-access facilities benefit from having a professional-grade detection tool that maintains credibility with patrons while providing genuine security capability.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Pro-Scan if you want:
- Professional-grade detection distances for handguns, knives, and blades
- All-weather operation from 5°F to 131°F for indoor and outdoor events
- A lifetime warranty that backs the investment for years of service
Consider something else if you need:
- A walk-through metal detector for high-volume entry screening
- A detection device that identifies non-metallic threats or contraband
Built for Real-World Security Operations
The Pro-Scan’s detection capabilities are calibrated for practical security scenarios. A 5-inch detection range for handguns means you can sweep a person’s waistband, jacket, and bag with confidence. The 4-inch range for knives catches concealed blades in pockets and waistlines, while the 2-inch range for razor blades ensures even small edged weapons don’t pass through screening.
The built-in battery meter is a detail that matters during long shifts. Dead batteries in the middle of a screening line compromise security for everyone in the venue. The battery indicator gives you advance warning so you can swap the single 9-volt battery before detection capability drops. The ergonomic design reduces wrist and arm fatigue during extended use — critical for operators conducting hundreds of scans per event.

What types of facilities commonly use handheld metal detectors like the Pro-Scan?
Handheld metal detectors are standard equipment at concert venues, nightclubs, courthouses, schools, corporate events, warehouses, and any facility that restricts weapons on premises. The Pro-Scan is commonly used as a secondary screening tool after walk-through detectors or as the primary scanner at smaller venues and private events.
How long does the 9-volt battery last during active use?
A standard 9-volt battery provides hours of continuous scanning, and the built-in battery meter gives you advance warning before power drops to an unreliable level. For full-day events, keeping a spare 9-volt battery in the holster pocket ensures uninterrupted operation. Battery replacement takes seconds with no tools required.
Can the Pro-Scan detect weapons through heavy clothing?
Yes. The Pro-Scan’s detection ranges — 5 inches for handguns, 4 inches for knives, and 2 inches for razor blades — account for typical clothing layers. The scanner is calibrated to detect metallic objects through jackets, coats, and layered garments that are common in real-world screening scenarios.
