What Are Speed Gates?
What Are Speed Gates?
Speed gates are high-performance pedestrian entrance control systems designed to manage and secure controlled access points in commercial and public buildings. Unlike traditional barriers, speed gates use motorised glass panels that open and close rapidly to allow authorised individuals through while preventing unauthorised entry.
Modern Speed Gates UK are commonly installed in office buildings, corporate headquarters, airports, hospitals, leisure facilities, and government premises where both security and aesthetic design are important.
How Do Speed Gates Work?
Speed gates integrate with access control systems such as:
-
Proximity card readers
-
QR code scanners
-
Biometric fingerprint systems
-
Face recognition devices
When valid credentials are presented, the glass barriers open automatically. If unauthorised access or tailgating is detected, the system triggers alarms or keeps barriers closed.
