Question
What is the difference between a swing barrier and a speed gate?
A swing barrier opens wings sideways and gives wide lanes. A speed gate drops flaps or retracts glass fast for high-traffic lobbies. Both use sensors to admit one person per credential. Wide swing lanes help wheelchairs and trolleys, while speed gates give a faster flow.
Choose by the number of people per minute at peak, the look of the lobby and the fire release rules.

Tell us how many doors, gates or lanes need control, who uses them and how many users there are. A plan or photos of each entrance help us propose readers and a controller that fit.
