The first step to choosing the right turnstile equipment is to consider the environment and security requirements of your project. For example, if your project includes a high-security facility like a nuclear plant or manufacturing facility, you may want to choose full height turnstiles with physical barrier locking capabilities.
Next, you can determine whether you need a one-way or two-way turnstile to control entrance and exit traffic. If you have limited budget or need to control multiple entry points, a two-way turnstile might be the best option.
Turnstile gates are a versatile choice for both commercial and industrial applications. They are flexible enough to handle a wide variety of people and are often used for airports, sports venues, stadiums, shopping malls, and construction sites.
Access gates or turnstile gates are also a good choice for high-security areas, as they provide wide pathways that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These gates come in waist-high and full-height variations, with waist-high gates being more flexible and providing alternate routes around the facility while full-height gates are more secure and feature advanced technology such as locking mechanisms.
Depending on the configuration, turnstiles default to either fail-safe or fail-secure operation in the case of power failure. Fail-safe models unlock or open to allow users to enter or exit, while fail-secure models remain locked to prevent unauthorized access. Alternatively, a key-operated over-ride can be used to unlock the gate in emergency situations.
