High Security Full Height Turnstiles: When Are They Required?

High security turnstiles are often needed when there is a requirement for a high level of security. They are designed to provide a physical barrier from floor to ceiling which makes them virtually impossible to bypass without authorisation.

These types of turnstiles are often required in environments such as government buildings, sports grounds, construction sites, and other environments to reduce the risk of unauthorised access and for crowd control.

Understanding the Need for High Security Turnstiles in Secure Areas

Many businesses are seeking new and efficient ways to secure their premises.

Including perimeter security fencing, CCTV, and on-site security measures has previously been the standard for many businesses. However, with rising costs, many are now looking at alternative and more efficient safety and security options.

High security turnstiles offer an added layer of protection that goes beyond what standard security measures can offer. They prevent unauthorised access, damage, theft, and injury by only permitting authorised personnel into specific areas.

Turnstiles can also manage high-traffic areas and monitor entry and exit times using integrated technologies such as biometric scanners and card readers.

Which Industries Can Benefit From High Security Turnstiles?

High security turnstiles offer robust security making them ideal for various industries, including:

  • Government Buildings
  • Prisons
  • Airports
  • Military bases
  • Data centres
  • Airports and Seaports
  • Industrial plants
  • Financial institutions
  • Stadiums and events
  • Healthcare facilities
  • Automotive facilities
  • Corporate offices

Benefits of High Security Turnstiles

There are lots of benefits of high security turnstiles for many industries, including:

Improved traffic flow: They can help to manage high volumes of people in public spaces and high-traffic areas efficiently.

Tailgating prevention: High security turnstiles can help to prevent unauthorised individuals from entering by following closely behind an authorised person.

Enhanced security: They provide a physical barrier that prevents entry without the proper credentials, whilst acting as a visual deterrent to potential intruders.

Access control: This type of turnstile can help to limit the number of people entering a facility, ensuring only authorised personnel and visitors can gain access. They can also be used in restricted areas where only certain personnel are permitted to enter.

Real-time monitoring: With integrated systems, high security turnstiles allow real-time tracking of entry and exit times, which can be beneficial for security audits and reporting and in emergency situations such as fire evacuation.

Real-time monitoring can also allow businesses to assess their busiest times and how many people use their facilities daily – this can be particularly helpful when monitoring traffic trends in places such as amusement parks, gyms, leisure centres, etc.

When Are High-Security Turnstiles Required?

High security turnstiles are often needed in many commercial industries and construction sites where the risk of unauthorised access must be minimised.

This can be in circumstances where there are valuable physical assets and/or sensitive information that need to be protected 24/7.

These turnstiles are typically required in environments where heightened security is critical, such as data centres, government facilities, and high-value warehouses where continuous access monitoring of personnel may be required.
