Architectural Entrance Control Systems for Secure Global Facility Access

Modern facilities need entrance control that does more than stop unauthorised entry. The right system must manage pedestrian flow, support multiple identification technologies, protect users during emergencies, and complement the architecture of the building. Evolve (Shenzhen) Autogate Co., Ltd. develops a broad portfolio of pedestrian access control products for distributors, system integrators, contractors, and security specialists serving international markets.

From premium glass speed gates and retractable barriers to full-height turnstiles, outdoor gates, self-service transit gates, and interlocking security portals, Evolve provides practical solutions for projects with different risk levels, traffic volumes, environmental conditions, and access requirements.

Entrance Security Designed Around the Site

Every facility has a different access profile. A corporate reception may prioritise a refined appearance and quiet operation, while a data centre or secure compound may require full-height physical segregation. A transport hub needs controlled passenger throughput, and an industrial site may require equipment that operates reliably outdoors.

Evolve products are designed to address these project variables through different gate architectures, lane configurations, verification options, and integration capabilities. Depending on the model, systems can work with card readers, RFID, PIN devices, biometric terminals, mobile credentials, QR codes, visitor management platforms, building management systems, and fire alarm interfaces.

Premium Speed Gates for Modern Buildings

The PG127, PG150, PG200, PG300, and PG500 ranges combine stainless steel cabinets with transparent glass or PMMA barriers. Their slim, contemporary appearance makes them suitable for corporate offices, financial institutions, healthcare facilities, government buildings, universities, and premium commercial developments.

These speed gates are engineered for controlled, efficient pedestrian movement. Infrared sensing and obstacle detection can trigger automatic barrier reopening, helping protect users during transit. Anti-tailgating and anti-passback functions strengthen access control, while fire alarm integration supports fail-safe emergency release. Adjustable operating speeds and clear status indicators also help balance security, user guidance, and throughput.

For distributors and integrators, the product range provides useful configuration flexibility. Projects may use single or multi-aisle layouts, accessible lanes, different cabinet finishes, customised glass heights, and flexible reader mounting arrangements. The PG500, for example, supports standard lanes as well as wider configurations for wheelchair users, deliveries, and bulky items.

Retractable and Swing Gate Solutions

The RG100, RG200, and RG Retail retractable gates provide a discreet alternative for offices, retail sites, leisure facilities, and other high-traffic environments. Their compact profiles support efficient bidirectional access while preserving a clean architectural appearance. Retractable leaf mechanisms help reduce bottlenecks and support smooth operation in busy entrances.

These systems are compatible with card, RFID, biometric, and other access control frameworks. Safety functions include dynamic protection, obstacle monitoring, automatic retraction during power failure, and fire alarm interfacing for emergency egress. The RG Retail model also supports wider access requirements and the movement of bulky items, making it suitable for retail and multi-venue projects where security and accessibility must work together.

The SG100 and SG Retail swing gates extend the portfolio with generous passage options. The SG100 can provide clear openings from 600 mm to 1800 mm, supporting wheelchair users, people with reduced mobility, and the movement of goods or equipment. The SG Retail is designed for retail, fitness, education, and corporate environments, with features intended to reduce shrinkage, deter unauthorised egress, and maintain a smooth customer journey.

Full-Height Turnstiles for Stronger Perimeter Control

Where a project requires a more substantial physical barrier, the FT120, FT120M, FT180M, and FT90M full-height turnstiles provide controlled passage from floor to ceiling. Their enclosed configurations create a clear physical and visual deterrent against climbing, tailgating, reverse entry, and unauthorised access.

The FT120 is available in single-lane and dual-lane versions. The single-lane model is suitable for standard secure access points, while the dual-lane configuration increases capacity where pedestrian volumes are higher. The FT120M provides inside and outside deployment flexibility, while the FT180M offers a widened passage designed to accommodate goods trolleys and bicycles without requiring a larger installation footprint.

The FT90M uses a heavy-gauge carbon steel structure and is intended for demanding applications such as data centres, utilities, secure campuses, and critical infrastructure. Across the range, integration with biometric, RFID, and PIN systems enables flexible authorisation management. Single and dual-lane options allow buyers to match physical security with available space and expected traffic.

Outdoor and Transport Access Control

The ES200 is engineered for direct outdoor installation without requiring a shelter. Its weather-resistant construction is designed for rain, snow, high winds, and up to 150 mm of standing water. Stainless steel or PMMA arms are shaped to reduce wind resistance while maintaining a streamlined appearance.

With a passage speed of more than 25 people per minute, the ES200 is suited to stadiums, transport hubs, business parks, industrial sites, and other exposed pedestrian entrances. A canopy may be recommended in high-traffic areas for user comfort, but the gate itself is designed for unsheltered deployment. Integration with card readers, biometric devices, and wider access control systems supports practical project installation.

For airports, rail stations, ferry terminals, and border control projects, the APG300-A and APG300-AB self-service gates provide controlled transit in compact footprints. The APG300-A supports biometric and e-gate integration for automated passenger processing. The dual-lane APG300-AB adds an interlock arrangement that maintains a one-gate-open, one-gate-closed process for document verification, random inspection, and other high-security operating modes.

Interlocking Security Portals

The CO135, CO136, and CO138 portals are designed for applications requiring single-person verification and controlled movement between two secured doors. Floor-integrated load cells support occupancy verification, anti-piggybacking, anti-holdup protocols, and abandoned object detection above the stated 200 g threshold.

The CO135 provides a square-base portal for banks, embassies, data centres, correctional facilities, government ministries, and jewellery protection areas. The compact CO136 round-base design is suitable for restricted spaces and parallel deployment in multiple banks. The larger CO138 offers a spacious, demountable cylindrical structure with a 900 mm clear passage intended to support accessible use.

These portals can operate without continuous supervision and provide multilingual voice guidance, illumination, traffic signalling, audit logging, and configurable modes for daytime bidirectional transit, night-time lockdown, and emergency egress. Optional biometric and metal detection modules can add further layers of verification where the risk profile requires them.
