Door Frame Metal Detector (DFMD)
Multi-zone walk-through metal detection for airports, metro, malls, offices, factories and government buildings.
A Door Frame Metal Detector (DFMD) is a walk-through security gate that screens people for concealed metal objects such as weapons, blades and tools as they pass through. TimeWatch is an Indian DFMD manufacturer offering Single-zone, 18-zone, 33-zone and 60-zone models with adjustable sensitivity and pinpoint zone indication. In India, DFMD prices typically range from about Rs 25,000 for single-zone units to Rs 2,50,000 for 60-zone high-security models.
What Is a Door Frame Metal Detector?
A Door Frame Metal Detector, also called a walk-through metal detector, is a doorway-shaped archway that a person walks through for security screening. It creates an electromagnetic field; when someone carries metal through it, the field is disturbed and the detector raises an alarm, showing the zone (height) where the metal is located. DFMDs reduce the need for manual pat-downs and speed up entry at high-traffic points.
How Does a Door Frame Metal Detector Work?
- 1
The archway generates a low, safe electromagnetic field across the walk-through area using balanced coils.
- 2
As a person passes, any conductive metal on them disturbs the balance of the field.
- 3
The detector senses this change and identifies which of its zones (body height regions) the metal is in.
- 4
An audible and visual alarm triggers, with LED indicators showing the exact zone for quick inspection.
- 5
Sensitivity can be tuned so everyday items (coins, keys, belt buckles) do not cause false alarms.
Key Features
- Multi-zone detection (Single / 18 / 33 / 60 zone) with pinpoint LED zone indicators

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the full form of DFMD?
DFMD stands for Door Frame Metal Detector. It is a walk-through security archway used to detect metal objects carried by people passing through it.
What is a Door Frame Metal Detector used for?
A DFMD is used for security screening at airports, railway and metro stations, malls, hotels, government and defence buildings, offices, prisons and educational institutions, to detect concealed weapons and metal objects.
How does a Door Frame Metal Detector work?
A DFMD creates a low electromagnetic field across the archway. When a person carries metal through it, the field is disturbed, and the detector alarms and shows the zone where the metal is located.
What is the difference between single-zone and multi-zone DFMD?
A single-zone DFMD only shows that metal is present, while a multi-zone DFMD (18, 33 or 60 zone) shows the exact height and location of the metal on the body, allowing faster and more accurate inspection.
Which DFMD is best for high-security areas?
33-zone and 60-zone Door Frame Metal Detectors are best for high-security areas such as airports, defence, government buildings and critical infrastructure, because they pinpoint metal location precisely.
What is the DFMD price in India?
In India, DFMD prices typically range from about Rs 25,000 for single-zone models to Rs 2,50,000 for 60-zone high-security units. The exact cost depends on zone count, sensitivity and installation. Contact TimeWatch for a precise quote.
Is a DFMD safe for people and electronics?
Yes. A DFMD uses a low, safe electromagnetic field that is harmless to people, including those with pacemakers or who are pregnant, and does not damage phones, laptops, film or magnetic media.
