About Us

Famous for our velvet post and rope stanchions, we’ve continued to build on our legacy of product excellence, innovation, value, and design by joining Tensator®, the global leader and inventor of the Tensabarrier® retractable belt barrier posts. Lawrence Metal® and Tensator® are two of the industry’s most trusted and widely deployed post & rope and retractable belt barrier fixtures throughout airports, banks, retail environments, hotels, casinos, theaters, amusement parks, museums, stadiums, arenas, and many other sectors throughout the world.

After Lawrence Metal® became a part of the Tensator® Group, the product offerings grew to supplement the post and rope barriers with a full range of contemporary queuing products. Tensabarrier® and QueueWay™ offer modern retractable belt barriers and classic post & rope options while having solutions for all applications and budgets.

Having designed unique queuing experiences for the biggest brands, major events, and venues in the world, we understand the importance of a quality product that safely guides your guests. We also understand the need for every brand to be unique, which is why our products can be customized to fit a specific look and feel to match your decor and needs.
