VSG

Pedestrian Security Gate

The VSG is a self-closing, pedestrian gate that is an ideal companion to our waist high and optical turnstiles. The VSG pedestrian gate opens in a single direction, providing a wide opening for patron passage and delivery access. The gate is available in an electric lock control version to integrate easily with access control systems or allow activation by devices such as a push button installed at a guard desk. A non-locking version is also available.
