When you think about ways to control access to a property, often the first thing that comes to mind is a fence and a gate. Gates are the most common way to allow limited access, and they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. Gates work very well for controlling vehicle access, but they are not as great for pedestrian control. This is because gates are usually large enough to allow more than one person through at a time. A much more controlled method for controlling pedestrian access is a turnstile. At its core, the purpose of a turnstile is to allow only one person through at a time. If you’re considering adding turnstiles to your access control strategy, you should know that there are many different types, and they can potentially provide very different turnstile benefits beyond their core purpose.
