Easy Steps

The selection of turnstile equipment is based on different conditions, including site and installation environment, function requirements, quality, and safety. Our professional team will flexibly adjust your needs according to the project requirements, so as to find the most suitable turnstile gate equipment.

Turnstiles are rotating barriers that control access to commercial and public facilities, often limiting the flow of people, or restricting access to paying customers via a coin-operated system or ticket machine. They can be installed high or low and are commonly used in public access locations, such as theme parks and stadiums.

There are several types of turnstiles, ranging in size from waist high to full height and a variety of features, options and materials. They all work with a variety of facility access control and visitor management systems to improve security and increase visibility for business operations.

Depending on configuration, turnstiles default to fail-safe or fail-secure (sometimes called fail-lock) upon loss of power. Fail-safe allows personnel inside to exit, while fail-secure disallows access.

In addition to physical barrier locking capabilities, turnstiles and gates also offer a wide range of features, such as free pass, controlled passage or locked down mode. In free pass mode, users can pass through without authentication, while in controlled passage, they must present a valid credential before entry.

Whether you’re looking for a full-height turnstile or barrier optical turnstile, there are many options to choose from that provide high levels of security while blending well with the aesthetics of your establishment. In a recent project, Auburn University incorporated barrier optical turnstiles into their new $72 million recreation center to ensure fast and reliable access control.
