The new version of the Fastlane Glassgate has a number of enhancements over the current product, these include:

More Secure - The product can be supplied with a range of glass panel heights up to 1.8m, making this the first full height turnstile from IDL. In addition, the friction brake force has been increased to provide a more secure closed position for the glass panels. For optimum security, standard width dual glass barrier lanes can be provided.

DDA / ADA Compatibility - The new dual glass panel Interlane facilitates either standard or DDA/ADA lane widths thus a set of DDA/ADA width disabled lanes can be provided, unlike the current product that can only have one DDA/ADA lane per set of lanes.

Enclosure Redesign - The new enclosure has been re-designed with no side panels to give a more open feeling that compliments the glass barriers, while still having the same optical beam technology to detect unauthorised entry attempts and tailgating.

"These improvements have arisen from listening to customer's comments, and finding out what they really wanted in a high security product such as Glassgate" Said Shane Naish, director at IDL.

Fastlane Glassgate uses imposing glass barriers in conjunction with state of the art optical technology to provide a high throughput security gate. The bi-directional glass barriers are designed to work in a normally closed mode and open after a valid card has been presented to allow the authorised user to pass. The glass barriers close quickly behind the authorised person to deter tailgaters.

The glass barriers move away from the authorised pedestrian. In the event of other authorised users trying to use the lane the barrier will stay open, even if they are walking in the opposite direction. The familiarity of the 'door-like' action of the barrier gives users confidence in operating the system ensuring quick acceptance.
