ABSTRACT:
A construction such as a building or the like in which banking transactions can be conducted in a more secure and businesslike manner. In essence, the structure is divided into a banking area and a teller's area by a security wall against which a plurality of individual booths are constructed in the banking area. Various communication and security means are provided in the booth such that the booth is locked from the teller's area such that robberies are initially discouraged and, if attempted, successfully foiled by the locking of the attempted robber in the booth to await security forces such as the police. In addition, the booths are each provided with a transaction opening in the security wall such that money, checks, etc. may pass between the teller's area and the booth. This transaction opening is adapted to be closed by a slidable door in the event that the opening is utilized to stage an attempted robbery. The door is additionally provided with a substantially V-shaped edge so as to engage any elongated object such as a gun barrel on opposite sides and force it into a predetermined position where any bullet emanating therefrom may be caught by a shot absorber.
