Prioritising Safety in Every Design

User safety is our top priority. We design our speed gates and entrance systems in line with leading safety standards, including BS EN 17352:2022, BS EN 16005:2012, and BS 7036-0:2014. Even if not legally required, these standards help us ensure a safer, more reliable user experience.

Our systems are designed to protect users from common safety risks:

  • Safe during normal and incorrect use

  • Protection for elderly, disabled users, and children

  • Safety sensors prevent collisions with objects like bags and trolleys

  • Fire alarm integration – gates open automatically in emergencies

Enhancing Security Without Compromising Safety

While safety is critical, we also address key security challenges often faced by pedestrian access systems:

  • 🔒 Jumping over the gate

  • 🔒 Crawling underneath

  • 🔒 Tailgating or unauthorised follow-through

  • 🔒 Collusion, loitering, and reverse entry

Our products incorporate strategic design features to mitigate these risks:

  • Double-leaf obstacles for quicker and more secure operation

  • Narrow walkways to prevent dual entry

  • Longer cabinet lengths to detect tailgating and collusion attempts

  • Higher gate barriers to prevent climbing

  • Minimal gap under gates to stop crawling access
