Improve the security, energy performance, appearance, employee comfort, and customer experience of your facility with operable, anodized aluminum drive thru and transaction windows from Binswanger Glass. A drive thru window creates a safe, efficient barrier between staff and customers — letting people get goods or services without leaving their vehicle. With non-porous surfaces that are easy to clean and won’t mold or harbor bacteria, our commercial transaction windows are built to meet or exceed the demands of high-traffic, high-security environments.

Types of Drive Thru & Transaction Windows

Whatever your facility needs, we design, supply, and install the right window system:

Transaction windows — secure two-way service at banks, offices, and counters
Drive-thru windows — vehicle-side service for restaurants, pharmacies, and banks
Ticket windows — fast, secure point-of-sale for venues and box offices
Package receivers — protected pass-through for deliveries and specimens
Combo windows — combined transaction and pass-through functionality
Pass-through & service windows — walk-up or counter service openings
Manual, semi-automatic, and automatic sliding configurations

We work with a wide range of commercial and institutional clients, each with specific transaction window requirements:

Banks & credit unions — secure bank drive thru windows and teller windows with deal trays and bullet-resistant options
Restaurants & QSR — single, multiple, and walk-up takeaway drive thru windows built for speed and volume
Pharmacies — pass-through and drive-up windows for secure, contactless dispensing
Healthcare & hospitals — reception, specimen pass-through, and isolation-friendly transaction windows
Schools & municipalities — secure service and reception windows for public-facing offices
Stadiums & arenas — high-throughput ticket and concession windows

Manual, Semi-Automatic & Automatic Windows

We supply transaction windows in manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic sliding configurations.

Our team will help you match the operation type to your throughput and budget.

Security & Bullet-Resistant Options

For banks, pharmacies, and other high-risk environments, our transaction windows integrate with advanced security glazing systems (link to /commercial-glass/security-glass/), including forced-entry-resistant, ballistic-resistant, and laminated safety glass. Protect staff and assets without sacrificing clear, comfortable customer interaction.

FAQ Drive Thru & Transaction Windows

What is a transaction window?

A transaction window is a secure, operable opening — usually anodized aluminum with a sliding or pass-through panel — that lets staff exchange goods, documents, or payment with customers while maintaining a protective barrier. They’re common in banks, pharmacies, ticket booths, and reception areas.

What’s the difference between a manual and an automatic drive thru window?

Manual windows are opened and closed by hand and are ideal for lower-traffic counters. Semi-automatic and automatic windows use powered sliding mechanisms to speed up service and reduce repetitive strain — a better fit for high-volume drive-thru and teller environments.

Are drive thru windows bullet-resistant?

They can be. We integrate transaction and drive-thru windows with forced-entry-resistant and ballistic-resistant security glazing for banks, pharmacies, and other high-risk facilities. We’ll spec the protection level your environment requires.

What industries use transaction windows?

Banks, restaurants and quick-serve (QSR) chains, pharmacies, hospitals and healthcare facilities, schools, municipalities, and stadiums all use drive-thru, transaction, ticket, or pass-through windows.

Do you repair existing drive thru windows?

Yes. We install, replace, and repair commercial drive thru and transaction windows, with local service teams across the country.
