Speed gates & turnstiles

One person through for every valid card

Physical access barriers that block tailgating while maintaining smooth flow. Sleek, modern designs ideal for gym entrances, corporate lobbies, and high-traffic secure zones.

From the team that created the first 24/7 gym access control system adopted by Jetts Fitness, in 2007.

The Problem

Why tailgating costs your business

Tailgating is when someone follows an authorised person through a secured door, 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.

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, so the gate opens only for current members in your gym software.

The result: physical prevention, detection and an automatic announcement — working together.
