The majority of our customers choose an automated gate for one reason… safety and protection. This is especially important at schools, we all want to protect our children.

As well as the standard health and safety regulations required of a normal install, schools have special considerations to adhere to. Something we’re well practiced in doing. Having worked with many schools and other educational institutions over the years, we understand what needs to be taken into consideration, the practical and safety concerns, when installing and maintaining the school gates and fencing not just before and after school but during school hours too.

Turnstiles & Pedestrian Gates FAQs

Where are turnstiles typically used?

Turnstiles are commonly used in commercial buildings, schools, transport hubs, leisure facilities, industrial sites and secure compounds where controlled pedestrian access is needed. They help manage foot traffic, improve security and ensure only authorised users can enter.

What are the benefits of installing pedestrian gates?

Pedestrian gates provide a clear and secure access point for staff, visitors or residents entering a site on foot. They can help separate foot traffic from vehicle access, improve safety and work alongside wider access control systems to strengthen perimeter security.

Can turnstiles and pedestrian gates be integrated with access control?

Yes, both turnstiles and pedestrian gates can be integrated with access control systems such as keypads, fob entry, card readers, intercoms and other secure entry solutions. This makes it easier to manage who can access the site and when.

Are turnstiles suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, many turnstiles are designed specifically for external use and can be installed at outdoor entrances, compounds and perimeter access points. We’ll recommend a turnstile solution that is suitable for the environment, level of traffic and security requirements of the site.

Can pedestrian gates be made to match existing fencing or entrance systems?

Absolutely. Pedestrian gates can often be designed to complement existing fencing, railings, barriers or main vehicle gates. This helps create a consistent appearance across the site while still delivering the practical access control and security you need.
