Pedestrian entrance barriers in a daylit public building

Solutions by Environment

Ten sectors. Ten different solutions to entrance challenges.

The hardware is largely the same across all of them. What changes is what the entrance is being asked to prove — a membership, a ticket, a headcount, a shift, a safeguarding rule.

Start with the building you are responsible for. Each sector page covers the real operating problems, the systems that answer them and the Keyable products most often specified.

How we work

We understand your needs first. Only then do we recommend the solution.

We do not start with a catalogue or choose a barrier type in advance. We first look at how your facility actually operates: who uses the entrance, when traffic is highest, how users identify themselves — by card, QR code, wristband or mobile app — and how the system should operate when no staff are present at the entrance.

Based on those requirements, we define the appropriate barrier type, identification method and integration model with your existing access-control system or other software already in use.

Below are ten typical facility types and the key requirements that matter most for reliable and efficient system operation in each of them.

Ice Rinks

Public sessions on the hour, wristbands read through a glove, and a floor that is cold and wet.

Children's Play Centres

Lower cabinets, reinforced anti-pinch protection and a lane sized for the people it is built for.

Theatres & Concert Halls

Ticketed entry in the twenty minutes before curtain-up, validated at the lane, one guest per turn.

Retail

Supermarkets and fashion stores: a one-way flow in, a clear way out, and a gate that suits the shop floor.

Fitness & Wellness

Unstaffed hours, shared memberships and a lane that has to be right at three in the morning.

Pools & Aquatic Centres

Chlorine, wristbands and a bather limit that is set by regulation rather than preference.

Workplace

The held door, the visitor pass that never came back, and the nine o'clock crush.

Education

Safeguarding, a live on-site register, and a hall that has to clear in ten minutes.

Stadiums & Events

A season's traffic in half an hour, tickets validated at the lane, capacity counted per sector.

Transport & Travel Hubs

First service, last service, and nobody on duty in between.

However far you want to take it

The sector decides what the entrance must do. You decide how much of it we do.

Whichever environment you are working in, the same three models apply: professional equipment for your own integration, installation and integration with the platform you already run, or one partner responsible for the complete working system.
