What Turnstiles & Speed Gates is
Turnstiles and speed gates control pedestrian flow one person at a time, so an authorised entry cannot become three people through one door.
Buildings in Gloucestershire usually reach this point when the number of keyholders outgrows anybody's memory of who has what. At that stage an audit trail stops being a nice extra and starts being the reason to do it at all.

Survey, quote, install
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. Fixed-price quotations after survey — the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
Handover includes a tested fire release, a loaded user list, as-fitted details and the commissioning record — the paperwork your fire risk assessor and insurer will eventually ask for.

Turnstiles & Speed Gates in Gloucestershire — questions
Do you install turnstiles & speed gates in Gloucestershire?
Yes. Gloucestershire 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 Gloucestershire?
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.
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.
Do you work on systems installed by someone else?
Yes. We repair, service and extend all common makes of access control, door entry and intercom, whoever installed them. If a system is genuinely beyond economic repair we will say so and show you the numbers for both options.
Does the door have to unlock when the fire alarm sounds?
On a designated escape route, yes. The locking must fail safe and release on alarm, free mechanical egress must be maintained, and every maglocked escape door needs a green emergency break-glass release. This is a life-safety requirement and we test it with the fire alarm at commissioning.
