Speed gates fulfil the same role as other pedestrian entrance control systems within a building, helping to make movement throughout the facility smoother, safer, and more organised. However, there are some important differences between speed gates and other entrance control solutions.
To understand these differences, it is helpful to first explain exactly what a speed gate is.
What are speed gates?
Speed gates are a medium-security pedestrian entrance control solution, typically designed at waist height, that provide fast and controlled access to buildings and secure areas.
They generally consist of three key components: the gate cabinet, the barrier arms, and an integrated access control system.
Depending on the model, the barrier arms can operate in different ways. Some speed gates use swing-arm mechanisms, where the arms swing open and close to permit passage, while others feature retractable arms that slide into the cabinet to create a clear passageway.
Most models incorporate advanced sensors to detect unauthorised entry attempts, tailgating, wrong-way passage, and other abnormal movements, helping to enhance security and control pedestrian flow.
There are several types of speed gate available, each designed to provide secure and efficient pedestrian access while meeting different security, throughput, accessibility, and architectural requirements. The primary distinction between speed gates is the way the barrier operates.
Paddle Gates - Paddel gates are among the most common types of speed gate. As the name suggests, they use barrier arms that swing open and closed automatically once access has been authorised.
Retractable Gates - Retractable gates, sometimes referred to as slide lanes, or flap barriers use barrier arms that retract into the gate cabinet when access is granted.
Speed Lanes - Speed lanes are the same as paddel gates, they use barrier arms that swing open and closed automatically once access has been authorised.
Choosing the right speed gate?
The most suitable speed gate will depend on several factors, including:
-
Security requirements.
-
Expected pedestrian throughput.
-
Accessibility needs.
-
Available installation space.
-
Architectural design objectives.
-
Integration with access control systems.
By selecting the appropriate speed gate solution, organisations can achieve the right balance between security, safety, accessibility, and aesthetics.
While speed gates are designed to prevent unauthorised access and deter tailgating, they are equally focused on user safety. By combining intelligent sensors, obstacle detection, emergency operation modes, and controlled barrier movement, speed gates provide a secure, efficient, and safe entrance control solution for modern buildings.
Modern speed gates incorporate a range of safety features to protect pedestrians, prevent accidents, and comply with relevant safety standards.
-
Obstacle Detection - Most speed gates use infrared sensors to monitor the passage lane.
-
Anti-Collision Protection - The barrier arms are designed to react safely if an obstruction is detected during operation.
-
Safety Sensors - Multiple sensors continuously monitor movement through the lane, helping to ensure that the gate only closes when it is safe to do so.
-
Emergency Egress - In the event of a fire alarm, power failure, or emergency evacuation, speed gates can be configured to automatically open and remain open, allowing occupants to exit quickly and safely.
-
Fail-Safe Operation - Many speed gates incorporate a fail-safe mode that automatically releases or opens the barriers when power is lost.
-
Visual and Audible Indicators - LED indicators, status lights, and audible alerts help guide users through the lane and provide clear feedback on whether access has been granted or denied.
-
Compliance with Safety Standards - Speed gates must be designed and tested to comply with relevant safety and accessibility standards.
