Description
METAL-TEC TE-1400 Handheld Silent Weapon Detector
The METAL-TEC TE-1400 serves as an intuitive, high-performance extension of the operator’s hand during physical body searches and suspect frisking. Engineered intentionally with an ultra-compact form factor, security personnel can seamlessly slide the detector between the thumb and forefinger. This low-profile ergonomic design completely frees up the remaining fingers to conduct standard pat-downs simultaneously, cutting inspection times in half.
Unlike traditional, bulky security wands that require conspicuous back-and-forth arm movement, the TE-1400 does not require a constant sweeping motion to read fields. It pinpoints the exact physical location, threat shape, and structural mass of a metal object even when held perfectly still over a designated threat zone.
Stealth & Constant Situational Awareness
Equipped with an exclusive triaxial detection field, this scanner uniformly uncovers all ferrous and non-ferrous metallic threats from any directional angle. When an anomaly is detected, the unit communicates solely via sensory vibration patterns rather than audible, alarming beeps. This silent notification system allows frontline officers to subtly analyse the physical length and density signature of a hidden weapon without alerting a hostile subject or escalating crowd tension.

Field-Ready Engineering & Extreme Durability
The TE-1400 requires absolutely zero complex user calibration or environmental adjustments out of the box. An internal microchip instinctively auto-compensates for sudden ambient temperature shifts. To maximise field-readiness under heavy pressure, the internal battery bay is engineered with non-polarity sensitivity—allowing operators to drop a replacement 9V battery into the compartment in either direction without looking. Enclosed in a heavy-duty, high-impact ABS plastic shell with a massive tensile strength rating, this tool effortlessly withstands harsh impact drops and extreme inclement weather.
- Density Discrimination: Accurately gauge target threat sizes. Large firearms can be detected up to 4″ away, tactical knives up to 2″, and small razor blades or drug-wrapped foil up to 1″ away.
- Enhanced Officer Safety: Drastically reduces risk of needle pokes or razor lacerations by pinpointing targets before deep contact is made.
- Low-Battery Alert: An integrated low-voltage notification system lets you know precisely when it’s time to swap cells before failing operational limits.

Brian Watson –
Implementing search protocols in an educational environment is always sensitive, but the METAL-TEC TE-1400 makes it seamless. Unlike bulky wands, this fits perfectly in the hand, meaning staff can use it alongside traditional pat-downs without looking aggressive. It picks up even small objects effortlessly with zero false alarms. For any London school looking to tighten its security frameworks without creating a hostile environment for students, this is the perfect solution.
