Top Products - Evolve Security Products UK Expert Guidance for Access Control Product Selection
Independent Advice for Pedestrian Access Control Systems
At Evolve, we understand that selecting the right pedestrian access control solution is not as simple as choosing a product from a catalogue. Every environment is different, and effective access control requires a clear understanding of operational requirements, building layout, safety considerations, and security risks.
Our approach to access control product selection goes beyond features and specifications. We focus on identifying the most suitable solution for each unique environment—even if that solution is not one of our own products.
Why Informed Access Control Product Selection Matters
Every organisation has different security challenges, user behaviours, and compliance requirements. That’s why choosing the correct access control system should begin at the design and planning stage, long before installation.
By working closely with:
End users
System integrators
Security consultants
Manufacturers and approved distributors
you ensure the final solution is:
Fit for purpose
Future-ready
Fully aligned with operational and security needs
Early collaboration reduces costly redesigns and ensures long-term performance and compliance.

Top Products - Evolve Security Products UK Key Considerations When Selecting Access Control Products
Effective security planning begins with understanding how a space is used. During the product specification phase, the following factors are critical:
Pedestrian flow – Peak and off-peak foot traffic volumes
User demographics – Elderly users, disabled persons, children, and parents with pushchairs
Required security level – Based on risk assessments and threat analysis
Safety compliance – Particularly for public or high-traffic environments
Threat preparedness – Including hostile vehicle mitigation and emergency response
Equipment durability – Resistance to misuse, vandalism, and long-term wear
Market awareness – Knowledge of modern access control technologies and integration options
Top Products - Evolve Security Products UK Modern Access Control: Beyond Traditional Security
Today’s pedestrian access control systems must address more than basic entry control. In a post-pandemic and smart-building environment, organisations must consider:
Contactless and touch-free access control
Facial recognition and biometric authentication
Body temperature screening
Hygiene measures such as hand sanitiser integration
Social distancing and occupancy monitoring
Modern systems should also integrate seamlessly with:
Visitor management software
Building management systems (BMS)
Real-time occupancy and reporting tools
The Value of Independent System Integrators
For the best outcomes, we recommend working with independent access control installers or system integrators who are not tied to a single manufacturer. This ensures:
Objective, needs-based product recommendations
Solutions matched to budget and security level
Compatibility with existing infrastructure
Long-term scalability and future upgrades
Top Products - Evolve Security Products UK A Holistic Approach to Pedestrian Access Security
A robust pedestrian security strategy involves more than gates or turnstiles. A comprehensive access control plan should include:
✅ Secure perimeter design with controlled entry points
✅ Clear separation of pedestrian and vehicle traffic
✅ Enhanced protection for sensitive or restricted areas
✅ Visitor registration, badging, and escort procedures
✅ Integrated physical barriers and electronic access control
✅ Emergency and lockdown procedures
Enforcing Secure Access With Confidence
Effective access control also relies on operational procedures, including:
Trained personnel to escort visitors
Monitoring movement through doors, turnstiles, and speed gates
Centralised access control systems for real-time oversight
Technology and procedure must work together to deliver a secure and user-friendly environment.
