Entrance control for offices, headquarters and multi-tenant buildings — where the threat is not a forced door but a held one, and the lobby has to look like a lobby.
Offices rarely fail at the door through force. They fail through courtesy, through visitors, and through nobody knowing who is still upstairs.
The credential presented was genuine. The person who followed had none. Every card reader in the building is satisfied, and someone unaccounted for is now on the third floor. Politeness is the attack surface.
Issued at the desk, signed for, and gone. Somewhere in a drawer, a coat pocket or a car. A physical pass that outlives the visit is a credential with no owner and no expiry.
Most of the day's traffic arrives inside forty minutes. A gate that hesitates turns a lobby into a queue, and the queue is the first thing a client sees on the way to a meeting.
Different companies, different floors, different hours, different contracts. The building operator has one lobby to give them, and each tenant expects their own rules to hold at it.
Attendance recorded on an honour system, or on a separate terminal that people forget. The entrance already knows exactly when everyone arrived; the information is simply thrown away.
The alarm sounds, the building empties, and someone at the assembly point has a clipboard and a guess. Without a counted exit, the difference between everyone out and someone missing is an assumption.
Infrared sensor windows run the full height of each inner face and read presence across the whole lane rather than at a single beam. A second body following the first is detected, the wings close on the entry, and the attempt is logged rather than argued about.
This is the part a card reader cannot do. The credential was valid; the problem is that two people used it.
A visitor credential is a QR code issued for a defined window and read from a phone screen or from paper at the same lane as staff. Nothing is handed over, so nothing has to be recovered.
Contractors, couriers and interview candidates all pass through the same lane under the same rules, and the record of who was in the building is created at the door rather than reconstructed from a signing-in book.
The published open cycle is 0.7 seconds, adjustable, giving up to 50 people per minute per lane, as published by the manufacturer. Two lanes clear most single-tenant arrivals; four handle a headquarters.
Throughput and security are usually traded against one another. A fast cycle with full-height infrared sensing is how you avoid making that trade at the door.
On power loss or an alarm the wings release to free passage and stay there, as EN 17352 requires of motorised pedestrian barriers on escape routes.
Because every lane is bi-directional, the exit is a recorded event rather than an absence. The last count of who had entered and not left is available to whoever is holding the list at the assembly point.
In a multi-tenant building the hardware is shared and the policy is not. The entitlement logic behind the gate is what lets one row of lanes serve four different companies without four different lobbies — configured and supported by Keyable Europe on a turnkey delivery.
Chosen for what an office lobby actually demands: presence at the front, throughput in the middle, and a taller barrier where the floor is restricted.
Slim, quiet and fast, in mirror or champagne finishes that read as furniture rather than security.
Wings withdraw instead of swinging, so lanes sit hard against a wall or beside a lift core. From 800 mm of floor.
A taller glass panel for server rooms, trading floors and any threshold where waist height is not a serious obstacle.
All technical figures on this page are as published by the manufacturer. Where a value is not published, it is omitted rather than estimated.
A headquarters building shared by four companies: one row of speed gate lanes on the main lobby, per-tenant entitlements applied at the same hardware, visitor passes issued as time-bounded QR codes, and attendance recorded at the point of entry rather than on a separate terminal.
Because every lane counts in both directions, the building operator has a live occupancy figure for floor loading and for the roll call, without asking anyone to keep a list.
Tailgating is a second person entering on someone else's authorisation, usually by following them through a gate that is already open. It is the most common way a controlled building is entered without a credential, and it defeats card readers entirely, because the credential presented was genuine.
A column of infrared sensors reads the full height of the lane rather than a single beam, so a second body following the first is detected and the wings close on the entry. One authorisation produces exactly one passage, and the attempt is logged.
Fast enough that the morning peak does not queue. Keyable speed gates open in 0.7 seconds, adjustable, giving up to 50 people per minute per lane, as published by the manufacturer. Two lanes will clear most single-tenant office arrivals.
Yes. A visitor pass is a QR code issued for a defined window, read from a phone screen or from paper at the same lane as staff credentials. It expires by itself, so no card has to be recovered at the end of the day.
Yes, in part. Because every barrier is bi-directional, entries and exits are both recorded and the difference is a live figure for who is still inside. On an alarm the barriers release to free passage, as EN 17352 requires on escape routes, and the last recorded count supports the roll call at the assembly point.
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.
You already have an integrator, an access platform and a programme. We deliver the equipment and the paperwork, and stay out of the way.
We install, commission and integrate Keyable barriers and turnstiles with virtually any professional access-control platform capable of exchanging the required commands and credentials. You keep your software; only the entrance changes.
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.
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.
