Open-plan receptions are more challenging than ever for today’s architects, as they are commissioned to keep an open and visually pleasing welcome, while providing a security element that meets their client’s expectations.
It’s critical to have the right mix. RWS Ltd can provide the professional security approach to help you achieve that mix.
Entrance security solutions
Security speed gates
Our range of speed lanes seamlessly blend into the architectural design concept, ensuring flow of people traffic without compromising on security.
Our speed lanes offer accurately confirmed individual identification, anti-piggybacking and tailgating, as well as a range of finishes to choose from.

Portals and cabins
As stylish as they are practical, our security portals balance design and quality with performance and fit seamlessly into any secure environment.
Our solutions are ideal for highly secure entrances, allowing only one person to transit through the portal interlock at any one time. Anti-tailgating and piggybacking form part of the overall portal security measure, linking in with the client’s access control requirements. In addition, our portals can include:
- Facial recognition
- Biometric access control
- Metal detectors
- Multiple System Options
- Bullet resistance
Our product portfolio includes square, round, panorama and ellipse (cabin) portals, as well as half-moon security portals to fit over an existing doorway.

Revolving doors
Convenient access does not mean compromising on your security entrance door solution.
RWS Ltd’s revolving door systems provide an attractive, yet highly secure, automated entrance security solution for offices and high flow pedestrian buildings, ensuring restricted access in one or both directions.
Security levels can be set depending on client needs, adopting our three or four-compartment wing door options. Authorisation is required to operate the revolving door and single-person detection prevents unauthorised individuals from tailgating, ensuring safe, secure and efficient pedestrian flow.
Our high security revolving doors are built to the highest standard and can be fitted with metal detectors, as well as access control making them ideal for banks, airports, hotels, retail, and even as part of school security entrance systems.
Our solutions are tailored to your needs, but features include:
- Tailgating detection
- Piggybacking detection
- Multiple security access control options
- 3 or 4 wing compartment door options
- Mechanical locking for night-time added security
- Ballistic protection BR2 as standard
- Option to upgrade to BR4 on request
- Firearm detection available
- Person presence check
- Badge control
- NFC implementation
- Fingerprint scanners
- Metal detection
- Bullet resistant glass

Access control
Access control helps ensure the right people can reach areas of the building that may contain sensitive data, assets, materials or even chemicals.
We will work with you to find a solution that meets your needs, but many of our systems can include:
- RFiD badge and proximity badge readers
- Face detection and facial recognition
