Speedstile

By combining the security of a physical barrier with the sophistication of optical detection, speedstiles facilitate the smooth flow of pedestrians while preventing tailgating and unauthorized entry.
Automatic sliding doors
Automatic sliding doors’ hands-free, noise-free and effortless access work like magic. They have an array of motion sensors that detect oncoming personnel and automatically activate a gear motor that slides the door open. When no motion is detected in the activation area, the door will effortlessly close after a designated period of time.
The toughened tempered glass gives sliding doors industry-leading safety standards. Unlike standard glass, the tempered glass breaks into small, blunt and harmless pieces ensuring pedestrians’ safety.
Revolving Doors

Revolving doors also come fitted with a speed regulator to eliminate accidents synonymous with very fast rotation speeds.
Mswing

Tripods

They come standard with a traffic indication LED pictogram; A green arrow indicates the direction of entry, while a red indicator indicates no entry. This is especially useful in monodirectional applications.
