In modern buildings, the entrance is no longer just a threshold — it is a critical interface between security, user experience, sustainability, and architectural intent. As workplaces, mixed use developments, and public environments evolve, so too must the way people move through them.
Boon Edam UK Speed Gates are designed to meet this challenge head on, delivering secure entrance solutions that balance safety, user experience, and architectural intent. Across the range, advanced technologies help manage and monitor the flow of people.
Why Speed Gates Matter
Balancing security with visitor management has never been more important. Traditional barriers can feel intrusive and slow down foot traffic. In contrast, speed gates deliver a refined, technology driven solution. Boon Edam Speed Gates:
• Detect tailgating and piggybacking in real time.
• Provide a strong visual and physical deterrent.
• Integrate seamlessly with access control, biometrics, and facial recognition.
• Raise immediate alerts to security teams.
• Support regulatory compliance and risk reduction.
The result is a safer entrance that remains welcoming and easy to use.

Lifeline Speedlane Swing | The Speed Gate Turnstile
The Lifeline Speedlane Swing is the most frequently specified product in the Lifeline series. Designed for restricted and high value spaces, it delivers best in class performance within an ultra slim footprint.
With smooth swinging motion glass barriers and slim, V shaped tapered cabinets, the Speedlane Swing introduces security without disrupting the flow or aesthetics of the interior — making it ideal for premium offices, transport environments, and mixed use developments.
Key Features & Benefits
• Tailgating detection using sophisticated sensors.
• Smooth swinging glass barriers for safe, inclusive access.
• Slim, ergonomic cabinet design with minimal footprint.
• Flexible single or multi lane configurations.
• Intelligent LED user guidance.
• Premium quality materials.
The Lifeline Speedlane Swing is ideal for peak flows without queues with a capacity per minute of up to 25–30 people (one direction), dependent on access control.
As the narrowest security lane in our range, the Lifeline Speedlane Swing excels where floor space is limited. Integrated LED guidance provides clear visual cues, improving flow, reducing bottlenecks, and minimising the need for staff intervention.

Modular, Customisable & Future Ready
Every entrance has unique requirements. Using Boon Edam’s modular Level Up approach, the Lifeline Speedlane Swing can be tailored to prioritise security, technology, aesthetics, or throughput — or a combination of all four. Options include facial recognition and biometric integration, Lifeline Boost access control pedestals, lift destination control, and BoonTouch for remote monitoring and response.

Performance, Energy Efficiency & Operational Confidence
Throughput & flow assurance
• High, predictable throughput, helps maintain queue free lobbies during peaks; multi lane arrays scale for tenant growth or phased refurbishments.
Energy conscious by design
• Low power electronics and LED guidance suit 24/7 receptions.
• Sleep/standby modes cut energy draw outside peak hours.
• Modular upgrades extend life and reduce embodied carbon from replacement.
Why tailgating detection matters to risk & ROI
• Tailgating/piggybacking is the most prevalent access control issue. Coupled with cyber physical risk, the potential cost of a breach can be severe — industry studies routinely place average data breach impacts in the multi million range, underscoring the value of robust entry control.
Safety & accessibility
• Smooth, controlled motion and comprehensive safety sensing.
• Configurable barrier heights (up to 1800 mm) and wide lane options to suit policy and code requirements.
Security ecosystem integration
• Works with leading ACS/biometric platforms.
• Lifeline Boost pedestals for flexible reader mounting.
• Lift destination control for frictionless lobby to lift journeys.
• BoonTouch for remote monitoring and incident response.
Specification & delivery certainty
• BIM objects, drawings and datasheets for early coordination.
• UK based Entry Experts for lane sizing, reader placement, queue modelling and fire strategy alignment.
• Proven installations across UK Grade A offices, mixed use, education and transport.
Speedlane Compact: The Swing Barrier Gate
The Speedlane Compact delivers essential swing barrier security in the shortest footprint. Throughput of up to 20–30 people per minute with tailgating, safety and object detection as standard — ideal where space is at a premium.
