Different types of turnstiles provide different benefits. Knowing what benefits are most important for your facility will help you choose the right turnstile.
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.
Not all businesses and facilities have the same needs, so there are some questions you need to ask when considering turnstiles for your business.
Many businesses use security turnstiles to maintain better security and proper access control. These are common in many entertainment venues, as well as high-risk government facilities. Turnstiles come in many different types with various security integration and functionality, so ask yourself some important questions before you begin the planning process for having turnstiles installed at your business or facility.
There are different security turnstiles available depending on the needs of the facility.
When buildings need simple access control, they often choose to have security turnstiles installed. These are tried and true security measures that allow places such as museums and stadiums to control visitor access without having humans check every single ticket, or prisons and warehouses to carefully manage and monitor who is going in and out of the facility. Thanks to technology integration, security turnstiles are better and easier to use than ever before.
Access control can be one of the more difficult issues when it comes to facility security. A credentialed door is one of the simplest options out there, but its simplicity comes with some pitfalls that are difficult to counteract. Security turnstiles do not suffer these same weaknesses, creating a strong and effective barrier at access points of your facility.
