Reliable, high-quality and aesthetically pleasing speed gate.

Speed gates are the ultimate solution to controlling access efficiently and in an orderly fashion. They allow for a continuous flow of traffic as people walk through at pace, with an inbuilt mechanism that stops tailgating and unauthorised access.

Multiple speed gates can be fitted to work with the project traffic flow of your entrance to ensure smooth entry in and out. They are often seen in large commercial buildings, gyms, airports and food terraces.

Our speed gate systems can integrate with your existing systems and pair perfectly alongside cloud access control software for remote monitoring and adjustments.

Integration With Cloud Access Control

Cloud access control can be the perfect partnership if you’re looking at a new speed gate system. With a cloud based system, there’s much more flexibility to be able to tweak access permissions on the go.

Unlike on-premise systems, there’s also less infrastructure maintenance need as no physical server is within the business. Learn more about the difference between on-premise and cloud access control.

How Speed Gates Work

Speed gates allow passage in both directions. When a user presents their identification, an authorised signal from the access control system opens the barrier gate (which is usually a glass or plastic panel) and allows access.

The user’s movement is monitored via photo electric safety screens and as soon as they have passed through the speed lane, the barrier gate closes.

Mobile Access Control

A convenient, secure, and modern form of access control

Mobile devices have become an essential part of our day-to-day lives. They are shaping different systems we use, not only to connect with people but to manage our lives and businesses as well. Mobile Access Control allows devices like smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets to be used instead of key cards or key fobs, to gain access to secured doors, gates, networks, services and more. Connected to a secure management dashboard, you can instantly grant, disable, and manage permissions from anywhere at any time.

The Advantages Of Speed Gates

The main benefits to installing speed gates for business security are as follows:

  • Stops tailgating and unauthorised access
  • Record and control access to employees and visitors
  • Allows for a smooth flow of traffic into the business

A speed gate is a security barrier that allows you to control access into your building but enables a smooth flow of traffic as it allows people to enter at pace as well as protecting against unauthorised entry through tailgating.

The average throughput into your building will determine the number of speed gates your business requires. We will advise on this during the scoping phase.

A speed gate is an effective entry control system that ensures you only allow access to authorised people into your building, as it has an in-built function that stops tailgating.
