What Is a Guardhouse?
The definition of a guardhouse (also referred to as a watchhouse, guard shelter, or security booth) is a building used to house security personnel or keep security equipment. The term comes from times when guards or sentries were posted at the entry of buildings or along a perimeter to “keep guard”, deter intruders, and restrict entry. Today, guardhouses are still in use and have many applications. If you are looking for guardhouse manufacturers USA, UK, or any other location, here’s some info on the guardhouses we produce, how they can be used, and why they offer extra security to your premises.

Module-T, A Leading Guardhouse Manufacturers Turkey
Module-T is a leading guardhouse manufacturer based in Turkey. From our facility in Istanbul, we make and deliver prefabricated guardhouses and security booths for use by the military, security, border and defence personnel, airports, private industry, and industrial sites across the globe. All our guardhouses are prefabricated structures and precision made to be long-lasting, safe, comfortable, and highly durable. They adhere to US, UK, and EU standards and can resist extremely harsh weather conditions so that they can be placed in remote or challenging locations.
Common Applications of Guard Kiosks
Our factory-produced guard shelters can be used in many ways. Common guardhouse applications include:
- Security Booths as Checkpoints: Many private, military, hospital, airport, and industrial sites use guardhouses at their entrances to control access, oversee entry, and register movement in and out of the facility.
- Guardhouses for Observation: Prefabricated guardhouses are often used as watchtowers or observation points along boundaries and perimeters. They offer a visible defence and deterrent against intruders and can be used to monitor movement across borders or along prison walls, high-security fences, and boundaries.
- Guard Booths as Forecourt Payment Points: Carparks, shopping malls, drive-throughs, and stadiums typically use prefabricated security booths as point-of-sale ticket distribution kiosks or to accept payments on entry and exit.
- Guard Shelters as Night Watchman Booths: You often see prefabricated guardhouses used to provide shelter for CCTV operators and overnight security staff on industrial sites, construction sites, and private estates.
