Natural & Reinforced Access Control

Physical security addresses the measures you can take to protect buildings, property, assets and staff against unauthorised and unwelcome visitors. When designing your physical security measures the three levels you need to protect are your outer perimeter, your inner perimeter, and your interior. Implementing measures at each of these levels help provide an effective physical access control system.

Increasing demand for automatic barrier and gate systems

Automatic barriers help with controlled access, especially when combined with different kinds of access control systems, e.g. keypads, contactless smart cards, hands-free access systems, intercom, etc to make access control easier and more efficient. In addition, the gate sector is believed to move in the same direction of using integrated access control system with multi-button design, battery backup option, and mechanical locks, amid others. Two recent reports indicate that the demand for automatic gate systems is on the increase.

Downing St Gates & Barriers 30th Birthday

Did you know that it’s exactly 30 years ago that the gates were installed at Downing Street? General public access to Downing Street was barred, as permission was given to build the ornate protective gates that now guard the home and office of the Prime Minister following a very heated debate about whether it was right to block off the road at all. Ian Visits has published an interesting short article about the gates and barriers at Downing Street, with a bit of history covering their temporary predesessors and how they were nearly removed under a recent Prime Minister.

Intelligent turnstiles could be the new default

Intelligent turnstiles

The use of turnstiles with software for streamlining secure member or employee access to premises should be the default given the better economies of scale and enhanced security and improved safety that this combination can provide.

Security turnstiles integrated with membership/employee management systems prevent the risk of unauthorised entry into the premises especially during peak times, when reception teams can sometimes be overwhelmed by the number of people trying to access the premises.

When these intelligent turnstiles are present, members/employees can bypass the reception desk, present their credentials to the turnstile panel and then proceed through. If there are multiple turnstiles, the amount of traffic throughput is more efficient compared to using reception staff to register members at the desk, leaving them free to better concentrate on visitor access and other reception duties.

Three-arm tripod style turnstiles are designed to allow only one authorised person at a time to enter before locking and waiting for the next authorisation. The more aesthetically pleasing swinging or sliding glass turnstiles make a great choice also as they are able to sense and set off an alarm when two people rush through on a single authorisation.
