A pedestrian swing gate is a rotating leaf in a turnstile line that gives a wide passage for wheelchair users and people with luggage or carts. Unlike a tripod or a waist-high rotary turnstile, a swing gate opens a 650 to 1050 mm passage, and models with fail-safe release can also be used as an emergency exit route.
How to choose a swing gate
- Passage width. 650 or 900 mm for Gate-TS, Gate-GS and Gate-GSH; 650–900 mm for the Onyx and XGate series; 700–1050 mm for the telescopic Gate-TTS, Gate-SPR and Gate-STE. Gate-SPR and Gate-STE suit openings of unknown width, Gate-TTS suits tight installation spaces.
- Drive type. An automatic gate with the BMDrive® mechanism turns the leaf 90° after authorization. The mechanical Gate-SPR and Gate-STE are opened by hand.
- Leaf material. Metal on Onyx-TS, XGate-TS and Gate-TS; Onyx-TS is chosen for impact resistance. Glass (Gate-GS, Onyx-GS, XGate-GS and the tall Gate-GSH) for lobbies where the gate should take up less visual space.
- Housing height. 1000 mm for Gate-TS, Gate-TTS, Gate-GS, Gate-SPR and Gate-STE, 1006 mm for XGate, 1075 mm for Onyx. Gate-GSH with a tall glass leaf is 1500 mm high, for sites that need stronger protection against unauthorized passage.
- Line compatibility. Onyx-TS and Onyx-GS pair with Onyx tripods, Gate-SPR complements TiSO waist-high and full-height models.

FAQ
How much does a swing gate cost?
The price of each model is shown on its page; we will calculate the cost with installation for your project.
What is the difference between automatic and mechanical swing gates?
An automatic gate turns the leaf with a servo drive on a signal from the access control system. A mechanical gate is opened by hand: Gate-SPR locks with a key, while Gate-STE is held by an electromagnetic lock, pushed open and returned by a spring.
Can a swing gate be used as an emergency exit?
Yes, if the model has fail-safe release: Onyx-TS, Onyx-GS and Gate-STE free the passage when power is lost, and the XGate leaf can then be opened by hand.
Which swing gate suits wheelchair users?
According to the manufacturer, Gate-TS, Gate-TTS, Gate-GS, Gate-GSH and XGate-TS are designed for wheelchair users, and Gate-SPR for people with reduced mobility and luggage. The widest passage, up to 1050 mm, is on the telescopic Gate-SPR.
