What it does
Turnstiles and speed gates control pedestrian flow one person at a time, so an authorised entry cannot become three people through one door.
Across Rhondda Cynon Taf the trigger is usually the same: a credential has gone missing and nobody can say where. Once that happens with a mechanical key, the only honest fix is changing locks and reissuing to everyone. Electronic credentials remove that problem entirely.

How we deliver it
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. 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 Rhondda Cynon Taf — questions
Do you install turnstiles & speed gates in Rhondda Cynon Taf?

What does turnstiles & speed gates cost in Rhondda Cynon Taf?
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.
