Retrofit-ready – Discover the new Fastlane Glassgate 150 LX

As Savills revealed in its Q3 2025 update, refurbishment projects have led the way in central London construction activity this year, making up 75% of new starts as landlords and developers adapt to stricter ESG expectations and growing concerns around embodied carbon. With retrofit now firmly established as a strategic priority, building owners are increasingly seeking solutions that can elevate existing assets without the cost or carbon impact of full redevelopment.

In this landscape, retrofit-ready technologies are becoming essential. Refurbishment and retrofit are rapidly growing areas in commercial building design, driven by ageing infrastructure, sustainability goals, evolving user requirements and rapid technological innovation. Building owners and investors are choosing to revitalise their existing buildings, and IDL’s latest product has been engineered precisely for this shift.

Designed for retrofit – the next evolution of Fastlane security

IDL is proud to announce the launch of the Fastlane Glassgate 150 LX (GG150LX), the latest addition to our market-leading range of entrance control solutions.

The GG150LX builds on the trusted performance of the original GG150 while introducing an innovative new design and enhanced functionality.

Created using advanced 3D CAD lofting techniques, the GG150LX enclosure features a unique, registered design for a sleek, modern aesthetic. Like all Fastlane products, it is designed and manufactured in the UK, guaranteeing British craftsmanship.

Key enhancements include:

• Ambient glass lighting for the enclosure glass panel and a refined end-of-lane display offering an elevated, modern design.
• Improved barrier breakaway force and a superior optical system for detecting unauthorised users.
• Proximity reader mounting under the decorative top, consistent with other Fastlane models.
• Retrofit-ready compatibility with the original GG150 – enabling seamless upgrades using existing fixings, cables, and power supply.

The GG150LX enables the seamless upgrade of existing IDL entrance control systems, reflecting the continual technical innovation in security and design that clients expect from Fastlane Turnstiles.
