Retractable Sliding Gate (RG)

Retractable Sliding Gates feature a pair of motorised acrylic or toughened glass arms that retract smoothly into the side cabinets when an authorised access request is received. As the barriers slide fully into the cabinets, a clear passage is created for the user.

Because the arms retract internally, the cabinets are typically wider than those used on paddle leafed speed gates, providing sufficient space to house the full length of the sliding barriers and drive mechanism.

Once a user presents valid credentials the gate opens, allowing the arms to slide discreetly into the cabinets and create a clear passage. As the authorised person passes through, a network of infrared safety sensors continuously monitors the lane to detect movement, direction of travel, and occupancy. Once the passage is clear, the arms automatically return to the closed position, ready for the next user.

If an unauthorised entry attempt, tailgating, or wrong-way passage is detected, the gate remains closed or activates an audible and visual alarm, depending on the system configuration.

During an emergency or power failure, the gates can be configured to fail-safe, automatically opening to provide a free exit, or fail-lock, remaining securely closed where security requirements dictate.

Applications

Retractable sliding gates are designed for high-security, high-traffic indoor environments where rapid pedestrian throughput, advanced access control, and premium aesthetics are essential.

Indoor Applications – Most retractable sliding gates are designed primarily for indoor environments. Outdoor installations may require additional weather protection or specialist models.
Greater Installation Space – The wider cabinets and operating clearances may make them less suitable for locations where installation space is limited.
Power Dependent – As fully motorised systems, retractable sliding gates require a continuous power supply and should be configured with appropriate fail-safe or fail-lock options to meet operational and fire safety requirements.

Retractable Flap Gate (RG)

Retractable flap gates are motorised pedestrian entrance control systems that use a pair of acrylic or toughened glass flap arms to regulate pedestrian access. When an authorised access request is received, the flaps retract rapidly into the side cabinets, creating a clear passage for the user.

Unlike paddle leafed speed gates, where the arms swing open from the cabinet, retractable flap gates require wider cabinets to accommodate the retracting flap arms and drive mechanism.

The rapid retracting movement gives these gates their distinctive operation, often referred to within the industry as "choppy choppy" gates.

Once a user presents valid credentials—such as an RFID card, QR code, mobile credential, fingerprint, or facial recognition—the access control system signals the gate to open. The flaps retract quickly into the cabinets, allowing the authorised user to pass through.

Throughout the passage, a series of infrared safety sensors continuously monitors the lane to detect movement, direction of travel, tailgating, and unauthorised entry attempts. Once the lane is clear, the flaps automatically return to the closed position, ready for the next authorised user.

Retractable flap gates offer fast operation, high pedestrian throughput, and reliable access control.

Application

Retractable flap gates are designed for high-traffic indoor environments where fast pedestrian throughput, effective access control, and reliable operation are key requirements.

Higher Maintenance Requirements – The retractable barrier mechanism contains more moving components than paddle leafed speed gates, resulting in increased routine maintenance to ensure reliable long-term operation.
Lower Perceived Deterrent – When closed, the shorter retractable flaps can present less of a physical barrier than full-height retractable sliding gates or paddle leafed speed gates, making them less suitable for higher-security environments.
Greater Installation Space – The wider cabinets require additional installation space, making them less suitable for narrow entrances or confined locations.
Power Dependent – As fully motorised systems, retractable flap gates require a continuous power supply and should be configured with appropriate fail-safe or fail-lock modes to meet operational and fire safety requirements.
Premium Appearance – Although suitable for modern commercial environments, the visible retracting flap movement may not provide the same refined appearance as paddle leafed speed gates, which are often preferred for prestigious reception areas and corporate headquarters.

Swing Gates (SG)

Swing gates, often referred to as pass gates, are motorised pedestrian entrance control systems designed to provide wide, accessible passageways for wheelchair users, people with reduced mobility, parents with pushchairs, and users transporting large or bulky items.

Unlike speed gates or retractable barrier systems, swing gates use a single glass, acrylic, or metal arm that pivots open through approximately 90° when an authorised access request is received.

Once a user presents valid credentials, such as an RFID card, QR code, mobile credential, fingerprint, or facial recognition the access control system signals the gate to open, providing a wide, unobstructed passage.

Depending on the model, the gate is monitored by one or two infrared safety beams or a microwave presence sensor to detect when the passage is occupied.

Once the user has safely passed through, the barrier automatically returns to the closed position. Safety features help prevent the gate from closing while the passage is in use.

Swing gates are commonly installed alongside tripod turnstiles, speed gates, or retractable flap gates to provide an accessible ADA/DDA-compliant lane.

Applications

Swing gates are designed to provide accessible, controlled pedestrian access accommodating wheelchair users, mobility scooters, pushchairs, delivery trolleys, luggage, bicycles, and other oversized items that cannot comfortably pass through a standard pedestrian lane.

They are commonly installed as an ADA/DDA-compliant access lane alongside speed gates, tripod turnstiles, or flap gates, ensuring all users can enter safely and comfortably.

Typical applications include:

Corporate Offices & Headquarters – Provide an accessible entrance for wheelchair users, visitors, and staff carrying large items while complementing the main entrance control system.
Commercial Buildings & Business Parks – Create a dedicated accessible lane alongside speed gates or turnstiles for visitors, deliveries, and building occupants.

Lower Throughput – Typically designed for occasional or controlled use, swing gates process fewer users per minute than dedicated speed gates or turnstiles.
Wider Installation Space – The swinging barrier requires sufficient clearance to open, making swing gates unsuitable for narrow corridors or confined entrances.
Potential for Misuse – The wider passage can make it easier for multiple people to attempt entry on a single authorisation if the gate is not monitored or integrated with additional detection devices.
Indoor Use Only – Most swing gates are designed for indoor environments and are not intended for exposed external installations.
Limited Detection – Compared with speed gates, swing gates generally use fewer safety and detection sensors, providing simpler functionality with less sophisticated tailgating detection.
Not Suitable for High-Security Areas – Where anti-tailgating, high-security monitoring, or strict one-person-per-passage control is required, speed gates or security portals are often a more appropriate solution.

External Speed Gates

Outdoor speed gates are weather-resistant motorised pedestrian entrance control systems designed to provide secure access in exposed environments.

They are constructed using durable, weather-resistant materials and components to withstand outdoor conditions such as rain, dust, temperature changes, and wind.

Unlike indoor speed gates, outdoor models typically use metal or perforated acrylic arm. The mesh-style design allows wind to pass through the barrier, reducing wind resistance and preventing excessive forces from affecting the movement of the arms during operation.

Once a user presents valid credentials, such as an RFID card, QR code, mobile credential, biometric authentication, or facial recognition the access control system signals the gate to allow access.

Safety sensors monitor the passage area to help ensure safe operation and confirm that the user has passed through before the barriers return to the closed position.

Depending on the system configuration, additional security features can include tailgating detection, alarm outputs, and integration with wider security management systems.

Designed specifically for external applications, outdoor speed gates provide reliable pedestrian control where durability, security, and environmental performance are essential.
