Swing Turnstile
A Swing Turnstile is another type of access control gate commonly used for managing pedestrian traffic, often in places that require a more open and accessible design. Unlike flap or tripod turnstiles use pivoting barriers that swing open to allow passage. Swing arms, typically made from glass, metal, or acrylic, swing open horizontally to permit passage. These can be single or double swinging arms, depending on the width required. One of the key advantages of swing turnstiles is that they provide a wider opening, making them suitable for people with luggage, strollers, or wheelchairs. This makes them ideal for places requiring accessible entry. Swing turnstiles are designed with safety sensors to prevent collisions with pedestrians, ensuring that the arms stop if a person or object is detected in their path.
Turnstile security gates serve as a physical barrier to regulate access in commercial buildings and high-traffic venues. These gates allow only one person to enter at a time and automatically close after each entry to prevent tailgating. By integrating with access control systems, they enhance security and provide businesses with an effective way to manage visitor flow.
This guide explores different types of turnstile security gates, their applications, and key considerations for selecting the right model for your business.
Our swing turnstiles are built to deliver unmatched performance and value.
High Security & Anti-Passback: Effectively prevents unauthorized access and “tailgating,” ensuring only one person passes per valid credential.
Durable Construction: Built from high-grade stainless steel or powder-coated carbon steel for exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear, and vandalism.
Flexible Integration: Easily connects with all major access control systems, including RFID card readers, biometric scanners, keypads, and barcode scanners.
Bi-Directional or Uni-Directional: Configurable to allow traffic flow in one direction or both, perfect for entry and exit points.
Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure Modes: Choose models that unlock in case of a power failure (Fail-Safe) or remain locked (Fail-Secure) for maximum security.
High Traffic Capacity: Engineered for medium to high-volume pedestrian traffic, making them ideal for busy environments.
