Speed Gates, Turnstiles and Barriers – Oslo & Norway

Physical access control for the lobby

A speed gate or turnstile is the physical element of access control – the one that actually stops unauthorised persons. Combined with card readers, facial recognition or PIN codes, you get a complete system that handles large volumes of people quickly and safely.

Products we deliver

We supply and install three main types of physical access control – all with the option to integrate with existing access control systems.

Swing Barrier

The swing barrier has wide glass wings that open quickly and silently on authorised passage. It delivers an exclusive and modern look in the lobby, and is ideal for office buildings and hotels with high pedestrian traffic.

Adjustable lane width
Infrared movement sensors
IR&D motor control algorithm
Failsafe opening on fire alarm

Flap Barrier

The flap barrier uses retractable flaps instead of glass wings. It delivers optimal passage efficiency and is especially suitable where space is limited. Robust and rigorously tested for heavy use in high-traffic environments.

Optimal throughput speed
Compact design – fits narrow openings
Manufactured and rigorously tested
Low noise and high operational reliability

Swing Gate

The swing gate is a flexible solution with two height options and remote control. Perfect for wider passages, wheelchair users and situations where you need a wide free opening alongside speed gates.

Flexible installation
Two height options available
Remote control as standard
Seamless integration with speed gates

Types of access barriers

We supply and install all variants of physical access control – tailored to your building and requirements.

Speed Gate

Glass-wing barriers with fast and silent open/close. Delivers an exclusive and modern look in the lobby. High throughput and integrated with the access control system. Ideal for office buildings and hotels with many daily passages.

Tripod Barrier

Compact and robust barrier with three arms that rotate on authorised passage. Cost-effective choice for office buildings, parking facilities and outdoor use. Withstands weather and wear, and works in all conditions.

Full-Height Turnstile

Full-height turnstile that blocks the entire passage. Used where high security is critical – server rooms, warehouses and facilities with restricted access. Requires active authorisation for each passage in both directions.

Optical Barrier / Flap Gate

Discreet sensors and retractable flappers instead of glass wings. Slim design with low profile height – perfect for locations with architectural requirements or universal design needs.

Where are speed gates and barriers used?

Physical access control is suitable wherever you want to manage pedestrian traffic, prevent unauthorised entry and create order – without slowing down those who have access.

Airports and Transport Hubs

Boarding control, security lanes and VIP zones at airports are classic use cases. Turnstiles and flap barriers handle thousands of passages per day without queues.

Gyms and Fitness Centres

Ensures that only paying members can enter, eliminating the need for a staffed reception at all times. The membership card or app opens the gate automatically.

Office Buildings and Receptions

Speed gates in the lobby separate the public area from the office floors. Employees use a card or mobile, while guests are registered in the visitor system and receive temporary access.

Self-Service Stores and Checkout Areas

Barriers at the checkout ensure customers do not leave without paying. Integrates with the POS system – the gate opens automatically after completed payment.

Hotels

Control access to floors, spa, gym and conference rooms. The room key automatically grants access to the facilities the guest is entitled to.

Hospitals and Clinics

Separates public areas from patient and staff departments. Staff cards grant access to wards, while visitors are registered and logged.

Universities and Schools

Student cards or apps control access to campus, libraries and laboratories. Prevents intruders and provides a log of who is in the building at any given time.

Stadiums and Sports Venues

Ticket validation and zone access in large crowds. High-throughput turnstiles ensure fast entry without congestion and guarantee that only ticket holders can enter.

Integration with access control

Access barriers work best as part of a comprehensive security system.

Card readers and fobs

The gate opens by holding a card or mobile phone to the reader. Works with all common card technologies such as MIFARE, DESFire and HID.

Facial recognition

Integrates with biometric cameras for touchless, fast and hygienic access.

PIN code and app

Access via PIN keypad or mobile app – no physical key required.

Reception and visitor systems

The receptionist can open the gate for guests directly from the PC. Automatic opening for pre-registered visits.
