Commercial Speed Gates & Speed Lanes UK – Medium to High Security Access Control
Our Speed Gates UK range provides medium to high security pedestrian entrance control for commercial buildings, corporate offices, reception areas, healthcare facilities, airports, and high-traffic environments where both security and aesthetics matter.
Designed for fast, controlled access, speed gates use motorised glass barriers with advanced sensors to detect authorised entry while preventing tailgating and unauthorised access. They offer significantly higher security and technology integration than tripod turnstiles, while maintaining a modern, professional appearance.
As a UK manufacturer established in 2012, Evolve Security Products designs and supplies commercial speed gates and speed lanes engineered for reliability, performance, and seamless access control integration.
What Are Speed Gates?
Commercial Speed gates (also known as speed lanes) are motorised pedestrian access control systems that open automatically when valid credentials are presented. Glass barriers retract or swing open, allowing smooth, fast throughput before closing securely behind the authorised user.
Unlike tripod turnstiles, Commercial speed gates use advanced sensor technology to:
Detect tailgating attempts
Monitor unauthorised entry
Trigger alarms if breached
Provide smoother and quieter operation
They are ideal for environments where professional presentation, visitor experience, and modern design are priorities.
Security Level Compared to Other Entrance Systems
Understanding the security level of each entrance system helps you choose the correct solution:
Tripod Turnstiles UK – Lower to medium security. Best for staff entrances, construction sites, and industrial facilities where cost efficiency is key.
Speed Gates UK – Medium to high security. Ideal for commercial interiors, corporate buildings, hospitals, and transport hubs where security and aesthetics are both important.
Full Height Turnstiles UK – Highest security level. Designed for perimeter control and high-risk environments where full containment is required.
Commercial Speed gates provide stronger tailgating protection than tripod turnstiles but are not designed to replace full-height perimeter systems.
If you are comparing options, see our guide on Speed Gates vs Turnstiles for a detailed breakdown.
