Solution

Meesons provided The Smith with four EasyGate Superb Speed Gates to solve the access control issue to the lift lobby. To give the building managers greater control over access for a mixture of clients, an EasyTouch LCD capacitive remote control console was supplied, enabling control of the speed gates at the touch of a button from the reception desk

Due to the slim design cabinet on the EasyGate Superb Speed Gates, the security solution fit within the lim space.

Three of the lanes were standard width with one EA complaint wide access lane, suitable for wheelchair access This wide access lane was positioned directly in front of the platform lift to improve the passage into the building for wheelchair use, deliveries, and pushchair users

Not only did the EasyGate Superbs’ utilise the restricted space, they also made a great fit since they complement the on-trend reception with the stylish look in brushed stainless steel and illuminated top lids

The Smith was left with the EasyGate Superb Speed Gates that prevent unauthorised access past the reception With their low power consumption, the speed gates help the client to achieve the building’s energy efficiency goals. Staff and visitors can now enter and exit the building safely yet easily with the intuitive light guidance directing them on when to go through
