Uses for Security Turnstile Gates
A turnstile gate can be used as a counting device to keep count of the number of people entering or leaving a site or an area
Turnstile access is used for a combination of counting and low-level security of entry. Mostly for stopping people at an entrance to sports and entertainment events so the tickets may be checked and collected.
Security turnstiles are used for a higher level of security or at an unattended entry is required. This includes employee entrances at a plant, or into a secure area of the building.
Types of Turnstile Gates
Waist-High Turnstile Gate
Also known as a "half-height" turnstile, these turnstiles are traditionally the most popular. They are effective as a means of crowd control as well as for tracking quantity. This is the type usually found at sports arenas and amusement parks.
Optical Turnstiles with Invalid Use Barrier
These turnstile gates are virtually the same as the more regularly seen Optical units, except that there is a rapidly closing barrier if no card or an invalid card is presented at the turnstile.
Optical Turnstiles
This is usually used where it is necessary to count people or where they are used with Access Cards when high throughput is needed. When used with Access Cards, if a valid card is not presented at the turnstile, an alarm will sound. These types of office turnstiles or turnstile gates are also used for Handicap access because there are no barriers.
Full Height Turnstile
This turnstile gate unit, as the name says, is a “full height” type turnstile that you enter as if a revolving door. As you walk through, one of 3 wings closes the area behind and in front of you so that only one person may enter or exit at a time. These types of turnstiles do have a safety built in to prevent someone from being trapped inside the cage area. These turnstile gates are used for unattended entrances and into higher security areas of the facility. These turnstile gates also are typically used with a Card Access to control passage.
