Security and access products help manage entry to a building or site. Barrier arms can control vehicle access at a driveway or parking entrance, while an access control unit can connect entry hardware with a credential system. Check the opening dimensions, mounting conditions, power requirements, and how the entrance will be used before specifying equipment.

Security and Access Products

Security doors and security gates address different points in the building envelope. When comparing commercial gates for security, consider the opening, traffic flow, and how the gate will operate alongside pedestrian access. Turnstiles can direct foot traffic through a controlled entry point; door access control can be specified for rooms or entrances where access needs to be managed.

What should I check before choosing a security gate?

Measure the opening and confirm the available clearance, mounting surface, power supply, and expected traffic. Check local requirements for vehicle access and emergency egress.

How do I plan door access control?

Identify which doors need controlled entry, who needs access, and how credentials will be managed. Confirm compatibility with the door hardware, frame, and any existing system.

When are turnstiles suitable?

Turnstiles can help manage pedestrian entry where people need to pass through a defined point. Check the required throughput, accessibility needs, and emergency exit arrangements.
