Anti-Tailgate Design
Barriers open for one person per valid credential and close immediately. Sensors detect if a second person attempts to pass through, triggering an alert.
Core Service
Speed Gates & Turnstiles
Physical access barriers that prevent tailgating while maintaining smooth flow. Sleek, modern designs ideal for gym entrances, corporate lobbies, and high-traffic secure zones.
The Problem
Why tailgating costs your business
Tailgating — when someone follows an authorised person through a secured door — is one of the most common security breaches in gyms and commercial buildings. It happens daily, often unnoticed.
For gyms, every tailgater is a non-paying person using your facility. That's direct revenue loss. For commercial buildings, it's an unauthorised person in a secure environment — a compliance and liability risk.
Standard doors with access readers can't physically prevent tailgating. They log the card swipe, but anyone can walk through behind the authorised person. Speed gates solve this by allowing only one person through per valid credential.
The real cost of tailgating
Revenue loss from non-paying gym members. Liability from unauthorised people in secure areas. Overcrowding that frustrates paying members. Reputational damage when security feels lax.
Speed gates block tailgating physically — not just detect it. Combined with our camera-based tailgate detection and ITAC announcements, you get a layered security approach.
Features
Built for security and flow
Our speed gate solutions combine physical security with modern design — protecting your facility without creating bottlenecks or compromising aesthetics.
Fast Operation
Fast gate operation keeps traffic flowing during peak hours. Members barely break stride on their way in.
Access Control Integration
Works with all major credential types — cards, fobs, biometrics, and mobile. Integrates with Inner Range, Paxton, and other platforms we support.
Accessibility Options
Wide-lane options for wheelchair access and luggage.
ITAC Announcements
When integrated with our ITAC system, tailgate events trigger automatic voice announcements over your facility's sound system — alerting staff and deterring repeat attempts.
Emergency Failsafe
All gates open automatically during fire alarm or power failure, ensuring safe evacuation.
Applications
Ideal for high-traffic entrances
Speed gates suit anywhere that needs controlled, high-throughput entry — gym front entrances, corporate office lobbies, building reception areas, co-working spaces, healthcare facility entrances and data centre entry points.
We supply and install optical speed gates in a range of styles, matched to your security requirements and aesthetic preferences.
Layered security approach
Speed gates are most effective as part of a layered system. Combine with ceiling-mounted people-counting cameras for detection, ITAC for announcements, and DoorGuard24 for gym-specific access logging.
The result: physical prevention, intelligent detection, and automated response — all working together without staff intervention.
