What is a full height turnstile?
Full height turnstiles are a physical barrier that extends floor to ceiling creating a complete barrier that prevents unauthorised access. Access cannot be obtained under or over full height turnstiles. It consists of rotating arms that lock and unlock to allow one person at a time access. They are commonly used in industrial or construction sites, sports grounds and other areas where security levels are high.
What are the advantages of full height turnstiles?
Full height turnstiles offer one of the highest levels of security. They are efficient, durable, prevent tailgating, customisable, low maintenance, can be combined with access control, and they are also a great visual deterrent.
What is the difference between a speed gate and a full height turnstile?
Speed gates use swinging or sliding panels to allow quick access and are commonly used in corporate buildings, airports, etc. Full height turnstiles use rotating arms or bars to allow individual access and are more suited to high-security environments.
How do turnstiles prevent tailgating?
Full height turnstiles prevent tailgating with the use of physical barriers and controlled rotation. Once credentials have been submitted the rotating arms will only rotate once. This prevents unauthorised persons from attempting to follow a permitted user through the gate.
How much do turnstiles cost?
The cost of a turnstile can vary depending on the type, i.e. full height turnstiles, half height turnstiles, tripod turnstiles, etc. It can also depend on the level of security required, materials used, and additional features like the integration of access control systems.
