01
Nothing sweeps, nothing folds
The panel travels into the housing along its own axis. There is no arc to keep clear and no wing to fold, so a lane can sit hard against a wall, a column or a second lane with no clearance zone at all.

Sliding Barriers
Tall glass that travels sideways into the housing. Nothing swings, nothing folds, and nothing crosses the lane above waist height — the answer where a wing would hit a wall and a flap would not be tall enough.

Key Features
The tall answer to a narrow problem.
02
Tall enough to mean it
A panel of roughly 1150 mm stands high enough that stepping over is not a casual option. Where a flap wing invites the athletic and a tripod arm invites the determined, a sliding panel simply ends the conversation.
03
Rated for the weather
An operating range of −20 °C to 60 °C, a brushless drive and a mean cycle count above five million passages. Specified in SUS304 or painted metal, the sliding barrier holds an outdoor threshold as readily as an indoor one.
04
Fail-open by law
On power loss the panels withdraw fully and stay withdrawn, as EN 17352 requires of motorised pedestrian barriers on escape routes. A retracted sliding panel leaves the lane completely unobstructed — there is no arm and no wing left standing in it.
The Range
4 models in the sliding barrier family.
Shared electronics, readers and control across the family. What changes is the housing, the finish and the setting each one is built for. Technical figures as published by the manufacturer; a model without figures has not had them published rather than estimated.

Common Questions
Answers, briefly.
What is a sliding barrier?
A sliding barrier is a pedestrian gate whose tall glass panel travels sideways into the housing rather than swinging. It combines the height of a secure barrier with the zero clearance of a retracting one.
When should I choose a sliding barrier over a swing barrier?
Choose sliding when the lane is narrow, when walls or columns leave no room for a swing arc, or when you need a taller physical obstacle than a flap wing provides.
How tall is the barrier panel?
Approximately 1150 mm, standing well above waist height, which makes stepping over impractical rather than merely discouraged.
Do sliding barriers open on power loss?
Yes. The panels withdraw fully into their housings and remain withdrawn, leaving the lane completely unobstructed as EN 17352 requires on escape routes.
Complete the Lane
A barrier, a reader and a base.
Readers & Controllers
The signal that opens the lane
Barriers are supplied without readers. QR scanners, RFID and NFC readers, controllers and displays are chosen for each lane.
See readers and controllers →Barrier Pedestals
A base made for the barriers
Where the floor is not suitable for fixing, the barriers stand on a pedestal made to measure, for any type of barrier.

How We Deliver
Three ways to work with us.
Every model in the range is available as a supply-only order, as an installation integrated with the system you already use, or as a complete working solution. The choice is commercial, not technical — the hardware is identical.
01 — Equipment Supply
Hardware for your own integration
You already have an integrator, an access platform and a programme. We deliver the equipment and the paperwork, and stay out of the way.
- Barriers, readers and controllers
- Technical datasheets and dimensioned drawings
- CE marking and EN 17352 declaration
- Delivery to site, anywhere in Europe
- Manufacturer warranty
- Spare parts held in Europe
02 — Installation & Integration
Integrated with the system you already use
We install, commission and integrate Keyable sliding barriers with virtually any professional access-control platform capable of exchanging the required commands and credentials. You keep your software; only the entrance changes.
- Everything in supply, plus:
- Site survey
- Installation and mechanical fixing
- Commissioning
- Integration with your existing access-control platform
- Staff handover and documentation
03 — Full-Service Solution
Everything, as one contract
One point of responsibility from site survey and commissioning through long-term local service support. You approve a design and take delivery of a working entrance.
- Everything in installation, plus:
- Software: entitlements, ticketing, attendance, occupancy
- QR, NFC and RFID identification
- Scheduled maintenance and online support
- Local after-sales service
- Extended warranty on the installed system
All three models cover the full range: speed gates, swing, flap and sliding barriers, tripod, full height and half height turnstiles. Scope, response times and warranty terms are set per project and confirmed in the quotation.
