Full Height Turnstiles

Maximise perimeter security with full height turnstiles

A full height turnstile is a floor-to-ceiling turnstile that employs mechanical rotating barriers to control access to a specific area. They operate much like a revolving door, with one key difference being that they are specifically designed to allow access to only one person at a time. They do this by locking behind each person that enters the system.

These access control turnstiles can be adapted to both indoor and outdoor use. They provide a higher level of security than traditional waist height or speed gates because it is impossible to circumvent them by jumping over or crawling under the barrier arms. They are rugged, usually low-maintenance solutions that work well in the harshest outdoor environments.

And because they are designed with deterring tailgating or piggybacking in mind, they improve the security of your location and your revenues from fares and entry fees.

Full height turnstiles are popular choices for good reason

Almost everyone has encountered a full height turnstile at some point in their life. It might have been when entering a stadium, a public facility, or a secured area inside a building. These turnstiles can be used for one-way or bidirectional access depending on the access requirements of your premises. They come in a wide range of finishes that make it easy to integrate them with your existing décor or environment.

It is also possible to adapt them for different passage widths, so you can use them in areas where pedestrians may often be carrying backpacks or tools as they enter and leave. And for high-traffic areas where this additional security is essential, there are tandem turnstiles that combine two full height turnstiles into a single seamless package.

There is literally almost no limit to what is possible with full height turnstiles, and they are an effective solution for those who want maximum levels of security at a more affordable cost than interlock security booths can offer.
