Turnstile Entrance Gates for Derby College - Rear Access Control
Who Are Derby College?
We worked with Derby College to deliver a secure turnstile entrance gates solution at a previously unprotected access point at the rear of the school. Derby College is a busy educational institution with high footfall, where maintaining safe and controlled entry for students, staff, and visitors is a top priority. The installation provided a reliable and professional entrance turnstile solution that improved security and compliance while blending seamlessly into the college environment.
What Challenge Did Derby College Face?
Before our involvement, Derby College had an ageing turnstile at a key access point that was no longer fit for use. This presented a security risk as anyone could freely enter the building, and it was also a health and safety concern. The college required a rapid solution to remove the old unit and replace it with a modern, secure entrance turnstiles and gates system, all under tight timeframes to minimise disruption to daily operations.
What Were UK Turnstiles’ Goals for This Project?
Our goal was to provide a safe and efficient site entrance turnstile solution that could be installed quickly and reliably. We aimed to remove the existing turnstile, install a new UKT-40 single full-height turnstile, and ensure the surrounding area was restored to a neat and professional finish. The system needed to operate seamlessly for students and staff, providing both security and ease of access without creating bottlenecks during peak periods.

Project Breakdown
We installed a UKT-40 single full-height turnstile entrance unit at the rear access point. The project involved the safe removal and disposal of the old turnstile and careful installation of the new system to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. The new entrance turnstiles provided secure, automated access, allowing the college to monitor and control entry effectively. Our team worked efficiently to complete the installation within the tight schedule provided by the college, leaving a reliable, functional, and visually tidy entrance point.
Timeline
The installation took place at the end of 2023. Despite the tight schedule, the project was completed on time, providing Derby College with a fully operational entrance turnstile system without causing disruption to students or staff.
