We combine knowledge, quality and service, creating forward-thinking, compliant solutions tailored to each venue.

Our stadium access solutions

MCFC Turnstiles — Turnstiles and entry control

We have decades of experience supplying and maintaining turnstiles for some of the UK’s most iconic clubs and venues. From full-height models to half-height solutions, our systems are designed for high-traffic reliability and seamless integration with ticketing and security platforms.

We specialise in both new installations and gate upgrades. Unlike many competitors who insist on complete replacements, we can enhance and automate existing swinging gates, saving costs and reducing disruption. Our barriers and automated gates deliver both secure access and smooth crowd flow.

We design and install emergency egress routes that comply with the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (the Green Guide), ensuring crowd movement is safe, efficient and controlled. Our systems support emergency planning and keep both staff and spectators protected.

For entrances, kiosks and back-of-house facilities, our roller shutters provide durable security. Built to withstand heavy use and protect high-value areas, they’re a trusted part of our stadium security portfolio.

Using a solenoid solution for retrofitting a push pedal simulation, we eliminate the need for personnel to manually operate access points, introducing a fully automated access solution. Our approach ensures older systems can meet modern operational standards and compliance requirements.

“Coventry City Football Club financed the installation of new turnstiles at the CBS Arena during the off-season. The comprehensive tender process included a site visit to Birmingham City, after which Electro UK Automated Stadium Turnstiles was selected to supply and install 45 new units.

Despite a limited timeframe for manufacture and installation, the project was completed as scheduled. Electro UK collaborated closely with Fortress GB regarding ticketing readers to ensure all systems were operational ahead of two pre-season friendlies used as test events. While initial matches experienced slower entry due to supporters familiarising themselves with the new system, overall operations proceeded smoothly.

As with any new system, there was some initial apprehension; however, once season cards were introduced for the first league game, stadium ingress improved markedly and all supporters were able to enter without delays.

The Club is highly satisfied with the end result, citing the product quality, efficiency of the installation process, and customer service as consistently meeting high standards.”
