Telescoping Glass - Retractable Speed Gate

The Telescoping Glass - Retractable Speed Gate is a high-security pedestrian access-control system designed for modern commercial, corporate, financial, government and institutional entrances. Its linear sliding glass barriers provide fast, controlled passage while the angled cabinet design and integrated LED lighting help guide users through the lane.

A unique telescoping barrier mechanism allows the same narrow cabinet design to accommodate both standard and wide passage configurations. This reduces the overall footprint required for wide lanes while maintaining a consistent appearance across multiple lanes.

Sliding Glass Barrier

A brushless DC motor drives the barriers in a smooth, linear sliding motion for quiet, precise operation. Glass panels are available from a standard 35 inch configuration to tall 71 inch panels where greater physical separation is needed.

Standard and Wide Passage Options

The Telescoping Glass Retractable Optical Speed Gate is available with a 22 inch standard passage or a 35 inch wide passage. Its telescoping design allows both options to use the same cabinet width, supporting a consistent appearance while preserving floor space.

LED User Guidance

Integrated LEDs communicate lane availability, credential status, and authorization to proceed. An optional dynamic user-interaction package will prompt sensors to detect an approaching user, direct them to the credential reader, and then guide them through the lane.

Advanced Security Detection

Point-to-point sensors track position and movement within the lane to detect tailgating and wrong-way travel. Optional anti-climb detection identifies attempts to climb onto or over the equipment. By distinguishing people from other objects, the system helps limit false alarms without compromising access control.

Access Control Integration

The gate supports card, QR-code, and barcode readers, subject to reader dimensions, and can connect to a broader building-security system. Bi-directional operation enables a single lane to manage both entry and exit.

Architectural Finishes

The cabinet combines powder-coated steel with anodized aluminum inlays, and the barriers are made of 10 mm toughened safety glass. Standard finishes include black and stainless-steel looks; additional RAL colors, Corian, laminate, and wood finishes are available for architectural coordination.

Installation, Drilling and Trenching

The Telescoping Glass - Retractable Speed Gate is delivered fully assembled and requires a flat, level finished floor. The installation area should be coordinated with architectural, electrical and access-control drawings before construction.

For new construction, power and low-voltage access-control/data conduits should be routed to the equipment locations before the finished floor is installed. The installation documentation specifies that conduits running below the equipment should be located a minimum of 5.5 inches below finished floor level, with metal cable conduit rising at least 2 inches above the foundation. For retrofit installations, drilling and any required trenching should be coordinated with existing utilities and structural reinforcement before anchoring the equipment.

The installation requires a minimum 70 mm bolting depth and concrete with a minimum specified compressive strength of 30 N/mm². The structural integrity of the installation location must be verified before installation. Where a project requires a floor-protection or baseplate mounting solution, the appropriate configuration should be confirmed from the installation drawings for the selected equipment.
