Our Range of Full-Height Turnstiles
What Are Full Height Turnstiles?
Full Height Turnstiles provide the ultimate security in turnstile gates and control by controlling the flow of footfall at entrances and exits.
They provide secure closure of passageways and are well suited for checkpoints where high security and attractive design are equally important.
Full height turnstiles are designed with high security in mind. They prevent unauthorised access both through and over the turnstile. Designed for indoor and outdoor installations – from stadiums to industrial and commercial sites, they provide a secure barrier while ensuring circulation remains fluid with self-centring rotation systems to prevent bottlenecks and queuing.
Their imposing physical presence and robust security features make them effective at controlling access and ensuring the integrity of secure areas.
Integrated Access Control Full Height Turnstiles
Full height turnstiles are designed to be integrated with advanced access control systems. This includes biometrics such as facial recognition, fingerprint scanners, and smart card readers to ensure that only authorised personnel are permitted to specific and secure areas.
The integration of these systems helps to provide real-time data on entry and exit. Additionally, with cloud-based or centralised monitoring, full height turnstiles can be included as part of an existing security system. This can help to manage the system remotely and provide instant and accurate access control data, making them ideal for high-security environments.
What Are The Benefits of Full Height Turnstiles?
Choosing the right turnstile for your business involves careful consideration of many factors from logistical efficiency, the level of security required and of course the aesthetics.
Full height turnstiles have many benefits, including:
Prevention of Tailgating
Turnstiles stop unauthorised people from entering behind authorised personnel. Unlike access pads on a security door, a full height turnstile cannot be held open to allow others to enter. Only those with the appropriate credentials can pass through.
Crowd Control
Full height turnstiles allow you to control the speed at which people can enter and exit your premises. However, they aren’t slow – the typical throughput rate is 30 people per minute with UKT Turnstiles.
High Level of Security
For high level security environments, full height turnstiles not only act as a visual deterrent, they also physically prevent unauthorised people trying to gain access by preventing ‘piggybacking’ and are impossible to gain access over or around.
Suitable for Both Indoors and Outdoors
Turnstiles are built to withstand varying environmental conditions and are a versatile option for both indoor and outdoor settings where high security is a priority. Built from robust and durable materials, they provide long-lasting security without compromising appearance or functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
