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.
Across Wiltshire 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.
Who asks for it in Wiltshire
Corporate receptions, stadiums, gyms, data centres, factories and any site where tailgating is a real risk.
- Retail and hospitality — back-of-house control, cash-office restriction and CCTV-linked door events.
- Commercial premises — multi-door fob or card systems with access levels, time zones and a full audit trail.
- 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.
What a proper install includes
- Optical speed gates with glass or brushed steel wings
- Tripod turnstiles for controlled industrial entrances
- Full-height turnstiles for unmanned perimeters
Getting the specification right
- Speed gates need a fire mode that drops the wings on alarm
- Consider throughput per lane against your peak-minute arrivals
- Floor loading and cable routing under the plinth need early design input
Survey, quote, install
The survey covers every door in scope: leaf and frame condition, existing hardware, power and cable routes, and whether the opening sits on an escape route. That produces a fixed written price, broken down per door so it can be compared honestly against anyone else's. Written quotation, clear scope, and a commissioning handover that includes the documentation you will be asked for later.
After install the system is commissioned, the fire interface is tested against the alarm, your users are loaded and the documentation is handed over on the day rather than chased later.

Turnstiles & Speed Gates in Wiltshire — questions
Do you install turnstiles & speed gates in Wiltshire?
Yes. Wiltshire 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 Wiltshire?
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.
