Offices and Public Buildings
Gunnebo’s entrance security solutions give you control over your visitors’ access to, from and around your offices and buildings. Options include sleek, modern speed gates for offices and traditional tripod turnstiles for museums and visitor attractions.
Security Systems for Commercial Buildings
Office lobbies and reception areas in commercial buildings have evolved dramatically during recent years. But one thing remains the same – you want your people, buildings and assets to be safe and secure.
Reception areas are getting larger and more open, to impress visitors and make employees feel welcome. Owners want to incorporate the latest interior design trends and complement modern architecture while keeping perceived barriers to a minimum.
Working patterns are becoming more flexible, with employees coming and going throughout the day and night. Security turnstiles may need to be connected remotely, so security can be maintained even if no guard staff are physically present to supervise the entrance.
Our speed gates rise to and meet these challenges head-on, offering a perfect combination of speed, security and modern design.
Offices
Effective entrance security for offices isn’t as simple as it sounds. Office blocks must manage entry for employees so that they can seamlessly move into and out of the building, but prevent access to unauthorised individuals. Security managers need to consider the level of security required and balance this against expected flow rates.
There is also the aesthetic aspect to consider. Entrance gates should add to the overall look and feel of a reception area, not detract from it. So both architects and security specialists have to think carefully about how to effectively manage entrance control for commercial buildings.
Education
Schools, colleges and universities often operate an open-door policy and typically house a number of public and private areas, with a frequent flow of visitors including staff and students, as well as invited guests such as parents or service providers.
An effective but unobtrusive entrance control solution is therefore very important to ensure the security and safety of students and staff alike, while protecting their personal items from theft or vandalism in addition to securing the institutions assets and equipment.
Gyms and Fitness Clubs
Leisure and fitness centres have to manage a frequent flow of customers with different access rights, preventing unauthorised entry to non-members or to members who have not paid to use certain areas of the gym.
An effective entrance control solution should allow staff to concentrate on customer service instead of having to constantly police who is coming in and out of the site, so it should be effective when the reception is unmanned or staff are busy dealing with customers.
Museums and Attractions
We’ve all seen how long the queues can get outside of tourist attractions like museums and galleries. If your system can only manage four or five transactions per minute and you’re looking at a peak flow of two dozen people within that same timeframe, there’s going to be a bottleneck.
Bear in mind that in public access buildings, there’s a bigger chance you’ll encounter visitors who need staff assistance to use, what is to them, an unfamiliar entrance system. These hold-ups have to be factored into your speed of entry too.
