Systems and methods for providing a barrier assembly that prevents access to a secure area can include a panel movable between an open position and a closed position in which the panel substantially obstructs a passageway, but where the panel width is less than the width of the passageway. A first locking pin is movable from a retracted position within the panel to an extended position protruding out of the top edge of the panel, and a second locking pin is movable from a retracted position within the panel to an extended position protruding out of the bottom edge of the panel. An actuator is on or within the panel and is configured to trigger extension of the locking pins to respective extended positions when the actuator contacts a stopper in the passageway. The barrier assembly can further prevent retraction of the locking pins for a predetermined time delay.
