The short version

Turnstiles and speed gates control pedestrian flow one person at a time, so an authorised entry cannot become three people through one door.

The Bristol sites we fit this on are rarely starting from nothing. There is normally something already on the door, working badly or not at all, and the first real question is whether it is worth keeping.

Typical Bristol applications

Corporate receptions, stadiums, gyms, data centres, factories and any site where tailgating is a real risk.

  • Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.
  • Retail and hospitality — back-of-house control, cash-office restriction and CCTV-linked door events.
  • Commercial premises — multi-door fob or card systems with access levels, time zones and a full audit trail.
  • Blocks of flats — digital directory panels, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window.

Scope of works

  • Tripod turnstiles for controlled industrial entrances
  • Full-height turnstiles for unmanned perimeters
  • Tailgating and wrong-direction detection
  • Accessible wide lane on every gate line for wheelchair users

What to insist on

  • Floor loading and cable routing under the plinth need early design input
  • Always include at least one accessible wide lane
  • Speed gates need a fire mode that drops the wings on alarm

From first call to handover

We look at the doors before we price them. That means measuring cable runs properly, checking whether the frame will take a maglock, and confirming with your fire documentation which openings must fail safe. The quotation that follows is fixed. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.

We commission before we leave: every door tested, every release proved with the fire alarm, users enrolled and someone on your side shown how to add and cancel a credential.

Turnstiles & Speed Gates in Bristol — questions

Do you install turnstiles & speed gates in Bristol?

Yes. Bristol is part of our regular England coverage and turnstiles & speed gates is one of our core services. Give us the postcode and the number of doors when you enquire and we will confirm a survey slot.

What does turnstiles & speed gates cost in Bristol?

Pricing is driven by door count and hardware rather than county. As a guide, a single controlled door lands between £750 and £1,500 installed, with multi-door sites working out at £600 to £1,100 per door. The survey is free and the written quote is fixed.

Do speed gates stop tailgating completely?

They reduce it dramatically. Sensor-based detection flags a second body in the lane and alarms or closes. Combined with reception awareness, tailgating becomes the exception rather than the norm.

What happens to a turnstile in a fire alarm?

It must fail to a free-egress state — wings drop or arms free-spin — so the lane becomes an open escape route. This is interfaced and tested at commissioning.

Can lost fobs be cancelled?

Yes, instantly. You delete the credential in the software and it stops working the next time it is presented. There are no locks to change and no cost, which is the main practical reason buildings move from keys to access control.

Can I answer the door entry from my phone?

Yes. App-connected panels forward the call to your mobile with video, so you can see who is there and release the door from anywhere with a signal. The panel-to-handset call still works on its own wiring if broadband drops.

Do you cover my area?

We cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland through our installation network, with regional engineers rather than one central team. Tell us the postcode when you enquire and we will confirm coverage and realistic attendance times.
