At the 2025 International Security Buyer Reader’s Awards, Gallagher Security’s QuickSwitch has been named the winner in the Access Control category – a decision that recognised the product’s blend of innovation, practicality and value for organisations migrating from legacy systems.
The awards aim to celebrate excellence, leadership and genuine achievement across the global security industry, highlighting those organisations and tools shaping the future of protection and control.
QuickSwitch is designed to solve a longstanding problem in access-control upgrades: cost, downtime and complexity. Rather than forcing a full “rip-and-replace,” the system allows clients to migrate to Gallagher’s modern platform by dropping in replacement boards compatible with legacy systems – reusing existing cabinets, wiring and power supplies. That significantly reduces installation time, labour and disruption, while delivering full access-control functionality for two, four, or eight-door configurations.

With its win, QuickSwitch joins the ranks of solutions that show security doesn’t always require entirely new infrastructure – sometimes, the smartest move is a simple, well-designed switch.
The 2025 International Security Buyer Awards continues to spotlight those innovations, individuals and organisations whose work moves the industry forward.
