Paddle gates provide fast, controlled pedestrian access where security, throughput and appearance are important.

 

They are well suited to corporate offices, commercial buildings, education and reception areas where a clean, modern entrance is required.

Retractable Speed Gates provide fast, controlled pedestrian access using motorised barrier leaves that retract into the gate cabinets when access is authorised.

 

They are suited to busy entrances where efficient pedestrian flow, security and a modern appearance are required.

Outdoor automatic speed gates with stainless steel barriers providing secure pedestrian access control for parks, public attractions, campuses, and recreational facilities.

External speed gates provide controlled pedestrian access in outdoor environments such as schools, colleges, transport facilities, visitor attractions and site perimeters

 

Designed for external applications, suitable models are built to operate reliably in demanding weather conditions.

Accessible swing and pass gates provide a wider route through controlled entrances for wheelchair users, people with reduced mobility, visitors with pushchairs and those carrying larger items.

 

They can be installed alongside speed gates and turnstiles to provide an accessible entrance where required.

Motorised full-height turnstiles provide controlled pedestrian access where a robust physical barrier is required. Suitable for internal and external applications, including site perimeters, construction sites and high-security facilities.

 

They are commonly used at site perimeters, construction sites, industrial facilities and other locations where a higher level of physical security is required.

Security portals provide highly controlled individual access through a secure enclosure.

 

They are designed for sites where preventing unauthorised entry and tailgating is a high priority, including critical infrastructure, government, financial and other high-security environments.

High-security automatic revolving door installed at a commercial building entrance, providing controlled pedestrian access, energy efficiency, and enhanced building security.

Security revolving doors provide controlled pedestrian access for buildings and facilities requiring a higher level of security.

 

Depending on the configuration, systems can incorporate features such as access control integration, anti-tailgating technology, weight sensing, metal detection and security glazing.

Pedestrian entrance control systems manage who can enter or exit a building, site or restricted area. They combine physical entrance barriers with access control technology to allow authorised users to enter while helping prevent unauthorised access.

What is the difference between a speed lane and a turnstile?

Speed lanes use automated barriers and sensors to provide fast, controlled pedestrian access, with many models offering features designed to improve throughput and detect tailgating. Turnstiles provide controlled individual passage and are often selected where durability, compact installation and cost-effective access control are priorities.

Speed lanes control access through individual lanes and can incorporate sensors to detect tailgating and other unauthorised movements. Security portals use a controlled enclosure to manage individual passage and are generally selected where a higher level of protection against unauthorised entry is required.

How effective are pedestrian entrance control systems at preventing tailgating?

Tailgating protection depends on the entrance control system and configuration selected. Turnstiles provide physical control of individual passage, while some speed lanes use sensors to detect tailgating or wrong-way movement. Security portals provide a higher level of individual passage control by controlling access within a secure enclosure.

Yes. Evolve entrance control systems can integrate with a wide range of access control technologies, including access cards, mobile credentials, QR codes, PIN readers, biometric readers and visitor management systems. Compatibility depends on the product and access control system selected.

Are pedestrian entrance control systems suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Products such as full-height turnstiles and external speed gates are designed for outdoor applications. The appropriate solution depends on the site conditions, environmental exposure, required security level and expected pedestrian flow.

Speed lanes or paddle leaf speedgates are commonly used in office receptions where security, appearance, accessibility and efficient pedestrian flow are important. The appropriate solution depends on factors such as available space, pedestrian throughput, access control requirements and the level of security required.
