What happens when your supplier lets you down, and the project still needs delivering?
That was the situation facing Thorne Fire & Security when their turnstile supplier had failed to deliver, leaving a critical office entrance control project under significant time pressure.
Which meant long lead times, delayed installations, and a frustrated client.
But this is where choosing UK Turnstiles made all the difference.
We keep a large range of products in stock, meaning we were able to move quickly, arrange shipping, coordinate the installation, and get engineers on site without the delays often associated with bespoke access control projects.
Working alongside Thorne Fire & Security, we delivered:
• 2 x Single Lane UKT-29 Speed Gates
• 1 x Twin Lane UKT-29 Speed Gate System
• Rapid turnaround from enquiry to installation
• Close collaboration with the access control contractor to ensure compatibility
• Installation completed within 2 working days
The results? ✅
• Project rescued after supplier issues
• Enhanced office security and controlled access
• Smooth flow for staff and authorised visitors
• No lengthy manufacturing lead times
• Complete delivery from enquiry to installation in around 2 weeks
Having the right products is important. Having them in stock and being able to respond when a client needs you most is what really makes the difference.
That's exactly how we stay ready for projects that can't afford to wait.
