What Is a Security Building?
In building systems, a security building is designed to protect a facility, employees, and other assets from physical damage and threats.
The use of a security building is important not only for finished projects, but also on construction sites, as some proprietary information may need to remain onsite and confidential. Access control for these structures is achieved through various features including ballistic rated materials, locks, and barriers.
With Multiple Construction Options, Porta-King Provides the Right Protection at the Right Price
Several industries, including manufacturing, warehousing, healthcare, government and more, require enhanced security. Porta-King engineers design security buildings that arrive fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
Porta-King offers design features that enhance both appearance and functionality. Custom security building options are available for all models:
- All buildings include a custom layout to meet your functional demands. For larger units that are too large to ship in one piece, we create multiple prefabricated sections that are connected together on-site to create the desired footprint.
- Choices in construction include painted steel or maintenance-free anodized aluminum.
- Ballistic rated materials for high threat environments. Ballistic Ratings include U.L. 752 Levels 1 – 8 and NIJ Levels I – IV. Visit our ballistic-rated guard booth page to learn more.
- Exterior lighting to illuminate area outside to allow users a clearer view to monitor surrounding area.
- High security locks or other access control devices.
- Factory-applied brick or other custom wall, roof, and window designs are available to enhance aesthetics and performance.
- Factory plumbed restrooms and a variety of HVAC options are available to keep your staff comfortable.
- Roll down shutters to protect your building from theft or vandalism.

Security Building Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to assemble security buildings?
Porta-King security buildings require no on-site assembly. Our factory-constructed security buildings are shipped ready for immediate occupancy. For larger security buildings that can’t be transported whole, we design modular units easily connected on-site, ensuring efficient installation of your security building.
Do you offer standard size security buildings?
We provide standard dimensions for Durasteel and Duraluminum security buildings. However, most of our security building models include customization options to meet specific requirements, ensuring each security building fits its intended use perfectly.
How are security buildings anchored?
All our security buildings come with anchor tabs for permanent installation. Durasteel security buildings feature pre-welded anchor tabs on the base frame. Duraluminum security buildings include separate anchor tabs for on-site installation, ensuring stability for every security building model.
Can you provide a budget estimate for security buildings?
We’re happy to provide a formal estimate for your security building project. For quick reference, visit our security building gallery to explore various designs and request budget estimates for specific security building models that meet your requirements.
What color options are available for security buildings?
Our security buildings offer extensive color choices. Select from our standard color guide or request a custom color match. We provide single-color security buildings or optional multi-color applications to suit your aesthetic preferences.
How do you prevent rust on steel security buildings?
To ensure longevity, our steel security buildings undergo thorough anti-rust treatment. We clean all steel surfaces, apply a high-solid rust-inhibitive primer, and finish with a two-part polyurethane paint, providing superior protection for your security building.
What is the lead time for security buildings?
Security building lead times vary based on the model and customization level. While Durasteel security buildings with custom features may have longer production times, we strive to accommodate your timeline. Discuss your security building delivery requirements with our representatives for the most accurate lead time estimate.
How are security buildings shipped?
Porta-King security buildings are carefully shipped on flatbed trucks, securely strapped to ensure stability during transport. We recommend thoroughly inspecting your new security building upon arrival and before signing the bill of lading.
How do you offload security buildings?
Most of our security buildings can be offloaded with a forklift. Each security building is shipped with skid gear for easy access under the base frame. For larger security buildings or unique installation requirements, we can provide lifting rings in the roof or custom rigging devices.
