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.
The Greater London 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.
Who asks for it in Greater London
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.
What a proper install includes
- Tailgating and wrong-direction detection
- Accessible wide lane on every gate line for wheelchair users
- Optical speed gates with glass or brushed steel wings
Getting the specification right
- 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
Survey, quote, install
First a survey, then a written quote per door, then a booked date — in that order, with no pressure between the steps. Most of the cost variation between quotations comes down to cable routing, which is exactly what a survey exists to establish. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.
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 Greater London — questions
Do you install turnstiles & speed gates in Greater London?
Yes. Greater London 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 Greater London?
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 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.
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.
