DOOR designs and manufactures automated E-Gate systems for airport pre-security, immigration, customs, border control and other passenger-processing checkpoints. Depending on the selected model and project configuration, the system can integrate boarding pass scanning, passport or identity document reading, facial recognition, fingerprint verification and passenger access control functions.
Selecting the right E-Gate requires more than comparing cabinet appearance. Project teams should evaluate the passenger-processing stage, required documents, biometric verification method, clear passage width, expected throughput, anti-tailgating logic, communication interfaces and emergency operating requirements.

Quick answer: An automated E-Gate is a self-service passenger-processing lane that combines a physical barrier with document or credential readers, pedestrian sensors, control software and, where required, biometric verification. It releases the lane only after the connected system confirms that the passenger and presented credential meet the configured checkpoint rules.
In airport pre-security, boarding, customs or immigration projects, an E-Gate may be configured to process a boarding pass, QR code, identity document, machine-readable passport or electronic passport. Facial or fingerprint verification can also be integrated when required by the approved passenger-processing workflow. The supported functions depend on the selected reader, biometric device, software platform and system interfaces.
An airport or immigration E-Gate is different from a standard office speed gate. A speed gate primarily controls pedestrian access through cards, QR codes, mobile or visitor credentials. An E-Gate may also need travel-document reading, passenger-data verification, biometric matching and integration with airport, airline or border-authority systems. Read the detailed airport E-Gate vs speed gate comparison if your project is still selecting the gate type.
DOOR offers eight E-Gate models for different passenger-processing projects. The table below uses the specifications currently published on the individual EG31–EG38 product pages. When comparing E-Gate manufacturers, buyers should also confirm the final document readers, biometric modules, software interfaces and operating workflow against the latest project data sheet.

Specification note: *The current product pages list 8–12 persons per minute, subject to the actual configuration. This is a product-level reference, not a guaranteed end-to-end passenger-processing rate. Document reading, biometric capture, system response, passenger behavior and exception handling can change real throughput. Confirm all specifications and optional modules in the latest approved data sheet before tender submission or procurement.
For a clearer distinction between airport and border applications, review airport pre-security E-Gates vs immigration E-Gates before confirming the required model and system interfaces.
E-Gate selection should begin with the passenger-processing stage rather than the cabinet appearance. Each checkpoint has different verification, accessibility, integration and exception-management requirements.
| Processing Stage | Primary Purpose | Lane Planning | Operational Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Security | Confirm that the passenger and boarding credential can enter the next processing area | Standard and accessible lanes based on peak passenger volume and terminal layout | Fast instruction, reliable scanning and efficient exception routing |
| Immigration and Border Control | Support an approved identity, travel-document and border-decision workflow | Passenger entry, verification zone, exit barrier and officer-review route as required | Document authentication, biometric quality, authority integration and auditability |
| Customs Inspection | Guide passengers through configured declaration or inspection decisions | Clear routes for release, referral and staff intervention | Process-rule integration, exception handling and operator visibility |
| Boarding or Transport Access | Validate a ticket, boarding pass or passenger credential | Lane quantity based on departure peaks, accessibility and available queuing space | Credential compatibility, passenger guidance and downstream-system response |
The exact sequence depends on the checkpoint, but a typical automated E-Gate workflow includes the following steps:
1. Credential Presentation
The passenger presents a boarding pass, ticket, identity document, passport or approved digital credential.
2. Document or Credential Reading
The configured reader captures the required barcode, QR, MRZ, document or permitted electronic-chip data.
3. System Verification
The connected passenger, airline, access control or authority system evaluates the configured rules.
4. Biometric Matching
Where required, a live face or fingerprint sample is compared with an authorized reference through the approved biometric system.
5. Lane Safety Detection
Pedestrian sensors monitor passenger position, direction and possible tailgating according to the configured lane logic.
6. Release or Staff Intervention
The barrier releases after successful verification. A failed or incomplete transaction can be routed to staff for review.

A speed gate is mainly used for pedestrian access control in offices, commercial buildings, transport facilities and other controlled entrances. It typically verifies access through cards, QR codes, facial recognition or visitor credentials.
An E-Gate usually supports a more complex passenger-processing workflow involving travel documents, identity verification, biometric matching and integration with airport, immigration or border-control systems. Although some E-Gates and speed gate systems may use similar barrier panels and pedestrian sensors, their verification processes, software integration and project requirements are different.
DOOR E-Gates can be configured for integration with compatible third-party passenger processing, access control, biometric, document-reading and security management systems. Integration may involve hardware interfaces, communication protocols, APIs or SDKs, depending on the selected equipment and project architecture.
Before confirming compatibility, the project team should provide the required system interface, data format, verification workflow, communication protocol and third-party software documentation. Compatibility with a specific platform should be verified through technical review and integration testing rather than assumed.
There is no single throughput figure that applies to every E-Gate. Actual passenger-processing capacity depends on several factors, including:
The authentication and verification workflow
Boarding pass or document-reading time
Biometric capture and matching time
Passenger familiarity and movement behavior
Exception handling and manual intervention
Barrier opening and closing speed
The number and configuration of available lanes
Please refer to the model comparison table and the latest technical data sheet for model-specific throughput information. Project capacity should also be evaluated according to expected peak passenger volume rather than the gate’s barrier speed alone.
E-Gate pricing depends on the complete system configuration rather than the gate cabinet alone. Major cost factors include lane quantity, passage width, document readers, passport or electronic passport functions, biometric modules, display equipment, software integration, customized hardware, testing, shipping, installation, commissioning and spare parts.
For an accurate quotation, please provide the application, passenger-processing workflow, required verification methods, number of standard and accessible lanes, project country, integration requirements and expected delivery schedule.
Not every E-Gate is designed for outdoor use. Outdoor suitability depends on the model’s IP rating, cabinet sealing, corrosion protection, drainage design, operating temperature, humidity resistance and protection from direct rain, dust and sunlight.
For example, the current EG31 specification identifies the model as an indoor unit with an IP42 rating, so it should not be presented as a standard outdoor E-Gate. Projects requiring outdoor or semi-outdoor installation should use a specifically evaluated configuration and confirm all environmental requirements before procurement.
