SYS.06 - Physical Access Control
Where access policy becomes physical reality
Turnstiles, speed gates, vehicle barriers and security portals turn an access decision into a physical fact – admitting exactly one authorised person or vehicle at a time, at every entrance that matters.
Overview
Two disciplines, one entrance
It helps to separate two things that often get blurred. Electronic access management – readers, credentials and software – decides who is authorised to pass. Physical entrance control equipment enforces that decision mechanically, preventing tailgating, forced entry and unauthorised vehicles in a way that no reader alone can.
We supply and support the full range of entrance control equipment for pedestrians and vehicles, and we design it hand in hand with the biometric and card access systems that drive it – so throughput, security level and architecture all match the demands of the entrance.
Pedestrian entrance control
From welcoming lobbies to high-security portals
● Speed gates
Fast, elegant glass-wing lanes for corporate lobbies – high throughput with a premium architectural presence.
● Turnstiles
Tripod and full-height turnstiles for factories, stadiums, sites and transit points where robust, unambiguous single-person passage is required.
● Revolving security doors
Controlled single-person entry combined with weather and energy performance at building facades.
● Mantrap & interlocking door systems
Two-door airlock portals for the highest-security areas – the second door opens only once the first has closed and the occupant is verified.
Vehicle entrance control
Controlling what arrives on wheels
● Boom gates
Reliable, high-cycle barriers for parking areas, estates and site entrances, integrated with LPR, card or ticket systems.
● Vehicle barriers & gripper barriers
Heavy-duty barriers engineered to physically stop unauthorised vehicles at sensitive perimeters.
● Under-vehicle scanning
Imaging systems that inspect the underside of every vehicle at checkpoints – ports, government facilities, hotels and high-security sites.
● Integrated vehicle lanes
Barriers, scanning, licence plate recognition and credential readers combined into one coherent, efficient checkpoint.
Selection matters: entrance equipment is specified per entrance – expected throughput, security level, environment and architecture all shape the choice. A lobby speed gate and a port checkpoint solve very different problems, and we design each accordingly.
Integration
Driven by your credential systems
Every gate, turnstile and barrier we supply is designed to be driven by the biometric and card access platform behind it. One credential database, one set of permissions, one audit trail – enforced consistently whether the entrance is a glass speed gate in the lobby or a gripper barrier at the truck gate.
Add video surveillance and LPR, and each entrance becomes a fully documented control point.
