CBP Modified Egress Solutions
CBP Modified Egress Partitions & Walls
Close gaps in restricted airport zones while preserving clearly defined passenger pathways and compliant emergency egress.
Visiontron’s post-and-panel system can create freestanding or mounted partitions and walls up to 8' tall. Frame widths, insert materials, finishes and base styles are coordinated to the opening, surrounding architecture and required level of permanence.
Partition and door inserts can range from clear acrylic to frosted glass, allowing the system to balance security, visibility, privacy and architectural appearance.
- Partition heights up to 8'
- Custom widths for individual openings
- Frame and insert options that coordinate with the terminal
- Freestanding, magnetic or permanently mounted configurations
CBP Modified Egress Doors
Custom soft-closing doors integrate with the surrounding partitions to control access while maintaining the required passenger route and emergency-exit operation.
Industrial-grade hardware supports custom-width doors with up to 180 degrees of swing. The controlled soft-closing action creates a functional throughway within the larger partition system while helping maintain the intended passenger route and emergency-egress operation.
- Up to 180 degrees of door swing
- Soft-closing industrial-grade hardware
- Custom widths developed for the opening
- Freestanding, framed or frameless configurations
Black Aluminum
A defined architectural finish that coordinates with dark framing, fixtures and other terminal elements.
Matte Silver Aluminum
A neutral metallic finish designed to coordinate with common airport architecture, framing and interior fixtures.
CBP Modified Egress Alarms
The door, partition and alarm system work together as one modified-egress solution.
Visiontron’s low-voltage alarm platform can be configured around the facility’s operating and security plan. Audible notification and highly visible status indication help personnel identify the state of the monitored passage.
- Low-voltage system that does not require a new high-voltage power source
- Configurable audible notification
- Adjustable visual-indicator brightness
- Black or gray alarm housing options
- Red indicates tripped, yellow indicates armed and green indicates unarmed
CBP Modified Egress Solutions Specifications & Downloads
Because each modified-egress system is custom, dimensions, partition construction, door hardware, bases, alarm behavior, power, finishes and insert materials are documented for the individual project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CBP modified-egress solution?⌄
CBP modified egress is a project-specific airport security configuration that maintains the required passenger route out of an international arrivals or Federal Inspection Services area while helping prevent unauthorized reverse flow into secure zones. The physical system commonly combines partitions, controlled doors and alarm notification.
How does CBP modified egress support international passenger flow?⌄
After CBP processing, arriving international passengers continue through the facility’s designated baggage-claim and exit pathway. The modified-egress system secures openings along that route so passengers can continue forward while access back into primary inspection and other restricted areas remains controlled.
Is this a standard off-the-shelf product?⌄
No. Each system is developed around the airport’s openings, security plan, architecture, operating requirements and stakeholder approvals.
How tall can the partitions be?⌄
Freestanding partition and wall systems can be configured up to 8' tall, with custom widths and materials selected for the location.
Which partition bases are available?⌄
Depending on the project, systems may use freestanding, magnetic or permanently mounted base configurations. The correct approach depends on the floor, security requirements and desired permanence.
Can the doors be framed or frameless?⌄
Yes. Visiontron can develop framed or frameless door configurations in custom widths, including freestanding arrangements integrated with the surrounding partitions.
How do the modified-egress doors operate?⌄
The doors use industrial-grade hardware, provide up to 180 degrees of swing and incorporate soft-closing operation. Final hardware is selected for the project.
What does the alarm system indicate?⌄
The configurable alarm uses red for tripped, yellow for armed and green for unarmed status, along with loud audible notification and adjustable visual brightness.
Does the alarm require high-voltage electrical work?⌄
The system is low voltage and is intended to simplify integration without requiring a new high-voltage power source. Exact wiring and infrastructure must be confirmed for the project.
Which finishes are offered?⌄
The two primary finishes are Black Aluminum and Matte Silver Aluminum. Other aesthetic requirements can be reviewed as part of the custom project.
Which insert materials can be used?⌄
Options range from clear acrylic to frosted glass, with other materials selected according to security, visibility, privacy, durability and architectural requirements.
Are Visiontron modified-egress systems CBP approved?⌄
Visiontron has developed CBP-approved solutions installed at international airports across the United States. Approval applies to the project-specific design and process; each new system must be configured and reviewed for its own governing requirements.
