Speed gates are the modern standard in access control speed gates for commercial and high-traffic environments, engineered for precision, speed, and deterrence where traditional security access gates fall short. Unlike a pedestrian swing gate, speed gates operate on bi-directional sensor logic, processing authorised entry in under a second without creating bottlenecks.
Whether you’re securing a corporate lobby, transport hub, or multi-tenant facility, these access gates deliver the throughput and audit trail that business security gates need to perform at scale.

Speed Gates as a Complete Access Control Solution
Speed gates are more than a physical barrier; they are a fully integrated access control system designed to manage, monitor, and restrict pedestrian movement with precision. When connected to a building access control system, they provide a single, unified layer of security and access control that covers entry points across an entire site, from ground-floor lobbies to secure server floors.
Modern speed gates support every major credential type, RFID cards, contactless smart cards, biometric fingerprint scanners, facial recognition, and QR codes. This flexibility makes them the practical choice as a smart access control system for organisations managing multiple user groups, shift patterns, or clearance levels.
When considering access control for business environments, the operational advantage is measurable: real-time access logs, remote lock/unlock capability, and seamless integration with existing HR and visitor management platforms. As security access solutions go, speed gates remove the weakest link (the unmanned door) and replace it with automated, auditable control at every entry point. Whether you’re specifying building access control for a new development or upgrading legacy gate access control on an existing site, UK Turnstiles configures each system to your exact access policy.
Automated Entry Systems
Speed gates sit at the intersection of physical security and access automation, built to operate as part of a wider network of automatic gates and doors rather than as a standalone unit. For sites specifying complete entrance systems, this matters. A speed gate that cannot communicate with the rest of your door infrastructure creates gaps in your access policy.
UK Turnstiles integrates speed gates with automatic pedestrian doors, lobby barriers, and perimeter gates to deliver a coherent, site-wide access and automation strategy. Each installation is configured to work with your existing door systems, whether that means synchronising with sliding door automation on adjacent entrances or coordinating with automatic door gate hardware on external access points.
On the technical side, our speed gates are compatible with a range of gate operators and door operators, including third-party hardware from leading manufacturers. This makes them a practical choice for facilities managers who need to consolidate door automation across multiple access points without replacing existing infrastructure.
All automated entry products supplied by UK Turnstiles are selected for compliance with current BS EN pedestrian door standards, ensuring every installation meets the required safety and performance thresholds for powered pedestrian access.
The result is a fully automated entry system where credential verification, barrier movement, and audit logging operate as a single, uninterrupted process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you install a speed gate?
Installing a speed gate involves site preparation, access control integration, and testing. Our team ensures minimal disruption during setup, with seamless connectivity to your existing security system.
How do access control speed gates help to manage building security?
Access control speed gates regulate entry and exit, allowing access only to authorised personnel. By integrating with RFID, biometrics, and smart credentials, they prevent unauthorised entry while enhancing security monitoring.
What are bi folding speed gates?
Bi-folding speed gates are ideal in environments where space is limited or where a wider access point is needed. These gates are characterised by their folding barrier design, which allows for a larger opening width when compared to a traditional speed gate.
