In plain terms
Turnstiles and speed gates control pedestrian flow one person at a time, so an authorised entry cannot become three people through one door.
What decides this job in Shropshire is rarely the brand on the reader. It is the door leaf, the frame, the closer and the fire strategy — which is exactly why we survey before putting a number on anything.
Common Shropshire use cases
Corporate receptions, stadiums, gyms, data centres, factories and any site where tailgating is a real risk.
- Blocks of flats — digital directory panels, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window.
- Gated and yard sites — gate intercoms, long-range readers, barriers and ANPR for permit holders.
- Retrofit and repair — fault-finding on all common makes, with honest repair-versus-replace numbers.
- Schools and nurseries — controlled single points of entry, visitor management and safeguarding-aware layouts.
What the price covers
- Optical speed gates with glass or brushed steel wings
- Tripod turnstiles for controlled industrial entrances
- Full-height turnstiles for unmanned perimeters
- Tailgating and wrong-direction detection
Avoiding the usual mistakes
- Consider throughput per lane against your peak-minute arrivals
- Floor loading and cable routing under the plinth need early design input
- Always include at least one accessible wide lane
The process
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. Every quote is itemised door by door, so you can see exactly what each opening costs before you commit.
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 Shropshire — questions
Do you install turnstiles & speed gates in Shropshire?
Yes. Shropshire 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 Shropshire?
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.
Is access control suitable for a block of flats?
It is one of the most common applications. A digital directory panel, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window replace the shared code and the endless label changes. The communal system is usually the freeholder or managing agent's responsibility.
What maintenance does an access control system need?
One or two service visits a year for most commercial sites. Each visit should cover door-by-door inspection, lock and release testing, fire interface verification, battery and power checks, and a user-list review, with a written report you can give your fire risk assessor.
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.
