A pedestrian traffic control system that ‘complements automatic doors’, which the company says ‘provides both safety and security’, has been introduced by GEZE UK.
PACE (Pedestrian Access Control Equipment) is ‘a range of speed lanes and turnstiles that offer an efficient control of pedestrians in and out of buildings’. Reportedly more cost- effective than manual checks, and providing round-the-clock control in buildings operational 24 hours a day, they are ‘ideal for controlling access to any part of a building that requires it, as well as the entrance’.
The PACE range can be tailored to the needs of any specification, there is a choice of control devices – push button, card reader, or single or bi-directional use, and different lane widths. To complement the design, or match automatic doors, different finishes can be specified – brushed stainless steel, polished stainless steel, or RAL powder coating. Where security is a high priority, options include high panels, anti-tailgating functions, an IRIS reader, and fingerprint or face recognition. GEZE UK added: “Whatever the demand for security, the visual aspect of the building is never compromised. Controlling large numbers of people entering or leaving a building ensures their safety, but in an emergency, the power is turned off, and all motorised systems can be used freely in both directions.”
GEZE UK offers ‘a complete package’ of pedestrian control that includes access control and automatic doors.
