Security speed gates and turnstiles help control access to buildings, reception areas and restricted zones. They allow authorised users to move through a controlled entrance while helping security, reception and facilities teams manage who enters and leaves the site.
From compact speed gates for front-of-house areas to high-glass models for more secure environments, the right system can improve access control without slowing down daily movement.
Fast, secure access control for busy buildings
Speed gates are used where pedestrian access needs to be secure, efficient and easy to monitor. They guide users through a defined access point and can help reduce unauthorised entry, tailgating and congestion.
Many systems can be connected to access control technology, including proximity cards, key fobs, biometric readers, PIN pads, QR codes and push-button controls.
This makes them suitable for offices, education buildings, leisure facilities, data centres, commercial sites and secure internal areas.
Updated speed gate products for security environments
We offer a full range of EA speed gates to suit different layouts, security needs and design requirements.
Single Lane Speed Gates
Single Lane Speed Gates are a practical option for reception areas and busy entrances. They support regular pedestrian movement while helping staff manage access through a controlled lane.
Standard and wider lane options are available, including configurations suitable for wheelchair users, trolleys and equipment access. They can also be specified with different finishes, barrier options and access control integrations.

EA Swing Lane Compact Speed Gate
The EA Swing Lane Compact Speed Gate offers the benefits of the standard EA Swing Lane in a slimmer cabinet design. Its 110 mm wide housing, illuminated edges and glass finish make it a good option where space is limited.
It can operate in normally open or normally closed mode and can integrate with most access control systems. Taller wings are also available where a stronger visual barrier is required.

EA Swing HG Speed Gate
The EA Swing HG is suited to higher-security areas where a taller physical barrier is needed. Its high glass wings can be configured up to 1800 mm above floor level, helping to deter climbing, hurdling and the passing of items over the gate.
Lane widths from 550 mm to 900 mm are available, including options suitable for DDA compliant access. The EA Swing HG is well suited to secure entrances, offices, data centres and commercial facilities.

EA Slide Speed Gates
EA Slide Speed Gates use glass sliding panels that retract into the gate cabinets when access is authorised. The panels are available up to 1.54 metres high, providing a stronger barrier than many waist-height systems.
With a fast opening and closing time and a flow capacity of up to 30 people per minute, EA Slide Speed Gates are suitable for busy sites that need both security and efficient access.

Which environments benefit from security speed gates and turnstiles?
Security speed gates and turnstiles are commonly used in buildings where access needs to be controlled without creating delays.
They are suitable for:
- Corporate offices and reception areas
- Staff entrances
- Hotels and leisure facilities
- Gyms and fitness centres
- Schools, colleges and universities

Choosing the right security speed gate
The right system depends on the space available, expected footfall, access control requirements and level of security needed.
Compact speed gates are useful for smaller receptions and retrofit projects. Wide lanes support wheelchair access, deliveries and equipment movement. High-glass options such as the EA Swing HG and EA Slide provide a stronger physical barrier for secure areas. EA Exquisite is suited to premium entrances where design and access control both matter.
Security turnstiles for controlled access
We also supply and install security turnstiles for sites that need durable, reliable entrance control.
Tripod turnstiles are a cost-effective option for regular pedestrian traffic. Rotary turnstiles offer controlled access in a compact format. Full-height turnstiles provide a stronger barrier for higher-security sites, external perimeters and unmanned entrances.
Our team can advise on the right setup, whether you need one controlled lane, a multi-lane speed gate system or a combination of speed gates and turnstiles.
