High Security with Full Height Turnstiles in Access Systems
Full height turnstiles are turnstiles that can be ceiling-to-floor or waist-high with mechanical rotating barriers. They function similarly to a revolving door, the only difference being that once a single person has entered the system, they lock, allowing one person access at a time. Specializing in full height turnstiles, offers turnstile products in various colors and models that can be used for one-way or two-way passage, depending on control requirements. Full height access control turnstiles are products that can offer maximum security because it is impossible for an unauthorized person to crawl under or climb over them. Full height turnstiles are designed to operate reliably in indoor and outdoor applications. These models are an excellent access control solution in high-risk facilities such as prisons, subways, power plants, and refineries. The turnstile allows single or bi-directional, controlled, or free access. Within a minute, it is possible for 20 people to pass as standard. The full height turnstile is configured ex-factory to allow free exit from the site or building in case of power failure. The rotation direction of the system is determined by internal sensors for entry and exit.
Importance in Turnstile Systems
The arms of the turnstile are centered smoothly after each passage. This is made possible by a spring mechanism and hydraulic dampers. The arm turnstile design provides minimum space for each user and makes it nearly impossible for more than one person to pass for reliable access control. Many different visual variations are available, including powder-coated, stainless steel. When multiple entry and exit traffic lanes are required, full-height tandem turnstiles are also available. These models combine two full-height turnstiles in a single, seamless package. Turnstile controls can be integrated with a wide variety of card readers and other auxiliary systems for reliable access control. Thanks to the monoblock structure, a long service life with an average of 1 million trouble-free passages is achieved with minimal wear and tear.
