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.
In County Antrim this tends to be specified in one of two situations: a new fit-out where it can be designed in cleanly, or a retrofit where cable routes and existing door hardware dictate half the answer. Both are routine for us; they are just priced differently.
Typical County Antrim applications
Corporate receptions, stadiums, gyms, data centres, factories and any site where tailgating is a real risk.
- Schools and nurseries — controlled single points of entry, visitor management and safeguarding-aware layouts.
- Healthcare and care homes — step-free automated entry, staff-only zones and fail-safe escape routes.
- 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.
Scope of works
- Optical speed gates with glass or brushed steel wings
- Tripod turnstiles for controlled industrial entrances
- Full-height turnstiles for unmanned perimeters
What to insist on
- Always include at least one accessible wide lane
- Speed gates need a fire mode that drops the wings on alarm
- Consider throughput per lane against your peak-minute arrivals
From first call to handover
An engineer attends the site, checks each opening, confirms the cable route and establishes how the fire strategy affects the locking. You get a written quotation itemised per door with the hardware named. Nothing is ordered until you approve it. We survey, quote in writing, and only then book the install. No estimates over the phone that change on the day.
Once it is in, we test it door by door, prove the fire release with the alarm panel, enrol your users and hand over the records. Maintenance, if you want it, is a separate and optional arrangement.

Turnstiles & Speed Gates in County Antrim — questions
Do you install turnstiles & speed gates in County Antrim?
Yes. County Antrim is part of our regular Northern Ireland 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 County Antrim?
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 access control be linked to CCTV?
Yes, where both systems support a common integration. Every door event gets a matching video bookmark, so instead of scrubbing hours of footage you click the event and watch it. We check compatibility at survey before anything is ordered.
How much does access control installation cost in the UK?
A single controlled door with a reader, lock and controller typically costs between £750 and £1,500 installed. Multi-door systems usually work out between £600 and £1,100 per door, because the controller and software cost is shared across the doors. Door hardware, cable runs and any fire alarm interfacing move the figure most, which is why we survey before quoting rather than pricing blind.
How long does an access control system take to install?
A single door is normally half a day to a day. A typical 8 to 12 door commercial system takes two to four days on site, followed by a commissioning visit to load users, set access levels and hand over. Larger sites are phased so the building stays secure throughout.
