Craig Chappel - New

Craig Chappell, Senior Service Technician, Safetell

Transitioning from a Royal Air Force Air Radar Technician to a Senior Tech at Safetell has been quite a journey. With over a decade in the RAF, my experience seamlessly integrated into Safetell’s world. Starting as a Service Tech in 2003, I didn’t anticipate becoming a Senior Tech within two years. My military skills, like electronics and hydraulics, found a new purpose here. Safetell’s commitment to recognising potential and embracing diverse expertise has made my career progression here incredibly fulfilling.

Gordon Park | Reactive Works Manager

Safetell were able to provide a solution very quickly, having ordered the screens on Monday, they were installed in the train station by Thursday the same week, which I was very pleased with.

The screens look great, much better than I had expected they would for the low cost, and the fitting was very professional.

The screens look great and the staff really like the screen and feel a lot safer, especially as the store opens late.

The installation was smooth and we are so happy with the Safetell screen that another screen is on order for our neighbouring store.

A speed gate, sometimes known as an optical turnstile, is a versatile high-tech access control system that is designed to manage the flow of pedestrians in and out of buildings, and other controlled access areas.

With sleek, modern designs, they incorporate advanced technology and sensors, to ensure fast and secure pedestrian access, while tackling some of the common problems associated with turnstile access.

Speed gates are a modern solution that strengthens security while speeding up access, making them a valuable asset for busy buildings with heavy foot traffic.

Speed gates provide a formidable barrier against unauthorised access, using sensors to detect tactics such as tailgating, or forced entry attempts. Because they feature swift opening and closing mechanisms, they facilitate the rapid flow of authorised individuals, and they minimise queues and congestion.

Compact designs make them ideal for installations where space is limited but security needs are significant. With contemporary, sleek designs, they can enhance the overall appearance of your premises. Speed gates also provide greater opportunities for integration with different access control systems, providing a versatile security access solution that is tailored to your specific requirements.

While both provide efficient and effective security, speed gates and turnstiles differ in function and design:

 

  • Turnstiles

 

Traditional turnstiles typically consist of rotating arms or barriers allowing for a single person to pass at a time. They are suitable for areas of moderate traffic where strict entry control is necessary. During periods of particularly heavy foot traffic, turnstiles may cause bottlenecks. While they provide good all-round security, they do not have the same degree of advanced functionality that you can find with speed gates.

 

  • Speed Gates

 

Speed gates employ state-of-the-art technology to provide fast, yet very secure access control. Featuring sleek glass barriers that open and close swiftly, they provide seamless access for authorised individuals, while making unauthorised entry attempts significantly more difficult. Speed gates can also be customised with different access control systems for added flexibility and security.
