Turnstile System

Our double full-height turnstiles deliver a high level of security in areas requiring strict access control, even when no security personnel are present. While reliably securing the premises, it ensures complete safety and ease of use for all users. 

The double configuration offers significant space savings where multiple lanes are required. Passageways can be fitted with either 120° or 90° arm positioning in three- or four-arm layouts 

The double turnstile is ideal for high-security entry points with heavy traffic such as construction sites, factories, stadiums, government facilities, prisons, and any other locations where controlled access is essential. 

The turnstile is available in AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel, or in a durable powder-coated finish. There is an option for a hybrid configuration, with the rotating section in stainless steel and the outer casing powder coated. Its internal mechanism is manufactured using special investmentcasting technology, providing exceptional durability and long service life. The electronic control boards enable the double turnstile to operate in various modes and integrate seamlessly with different systems. 

This electromechanical turnstile operates bidirectionally and features a self-centering mechanism that consistently returns the arms to their default position. It supports all types of access control systems, including card readers, biometric devices, remote controls, and push buttons via a simple dry-contact interface. 

Once access is granted, a light push on the arm initiates rotation, and the system automatically locks after one full turn. If passage is not used within 15 seconds, the turnstile emits an audible warning and re-locks. LED status indicators on both sides display green arrows or red crosses to clearly show permitted directions of travel. 

In the event of a power cut, the system unlocks automatically, allowing the arms to rotate freely in both directions. This ensures safe and rapid evacuation while preventing users from becoming trapped inside the turnstile.

TEC Security install waist height tripod turnstiles with a durable 3-section, stainless steel design and several drive mechanism options. The turnstile is extremely stable and applicable for heavy usage conditions such as daily use at an entrance. 

The turnstile can come as a short or long bridge type with simple integration with access control systems using integration brackets to minimise security risks – supports RFID cards / fobs, facial recognition and biometrics. 

This system allows for quick and convenient crowd control at exit and entry to limit congestion of pedestrian traffic and secure flow of authorised persons – access granted to only one user at a time. 

The turnstile is a bidirectional, logic-controlled entryway that is well equipped to deal with potential power outages and relies on a self-centering, electromechanical drive mechanism (as well as a hydraulic damper and anti-backup device) to ensure complete rotation of the steel drop arms, even in emergency mode. 

Entrance and exit directions can be individually set as controlled, locked, or free rotation. After the release, the turnstile blocks itself after an adjusted time if no transition or passage occurs. If people from both directions would like to pass through simultaneously, the first person who activates the turnstile comes first. 

When in controlled access mode, after the release confirmation is sent by the access control system, the turnstile unlocks the released direction and enables one-person access. After each person, the turnstile rotor blocks passage again, and does not permit access from entrance or exit directions until receiving a new release signal from the access control system. 

Options available for electromechanical operation and hand-operated with drop arm, or motordriven with drop arm drive mechanism. 

In the event of an emergency or power cut, the mechanism unlocks the rotor, and the arms rotate freely in both directions. (In drop-arm or motorised versions, the hinged arm design opens the passage in both directions automatically.) During emergency mode, the acoustic alarm and the LED indicators will both keep signalling. The turnstile resets itself automatically when the emergency alarm stops or the power is switched back on. (In the drop-arm version, the arm should be lifted manually.) 

The units consist of steel housing and arms, aluminium tripod hub with options for housing material in 2 mm thick stainless steel (AISI 304/316), or powder-coated steel in RAL colours.

We install automatic speed gates for pedestrian passageway that provide an efficient and visually appealing access control solution, combining stylish design with reliable performance. 

The rapid opening times and preset travel functions of the speed gates enable a high visitor throughput, with an open-gate mode available to further accelerate flow during peak periods. 

Designed for both monitored and unmonitored areas, the system delivers maximum security with minimal impact to ensure user safety. The gates turn freely during power outages and are engineered for up to 10 million opening and closing cycles. 

All gate models feature a compact, space-efficient structure that still allows ample room for integrating any access control system. They can be equipped with card readers, biometric readers, remote controls, or push-button units through a simple dry-contact interface. Their durable construction requires minimal maintenance, providing years of reliable, trouble-free operation and creating a secure environment in areas such as reception halls. 

These gates are suited for a wide range of applications, including stadiums and arenas, perimeter and interior security points, recreation and amusement parks, retail crowd management, and lobby access control. 

In the event of an emergency or power failure, the system offers a fail-safe solution by allowing free passage in both directions, ensuring safe and efficient evacuation.

TEC Security also offers a rental package for security turnstiles that are ideal for construction projects. 

This solution is designed to meet the unique security requirements of your construction site. Engineered for maximum efficiency and protection, the system ensures that only authorized personnel can enter the premises. 

In the event of an emergency, the system delivers an instant, real-time fire roll call of all onsite personnel, supporting compliance with safety regulations. All sensitive data is securely protected by software, ensuring adherence to the highest privacy and security standards. 

The turnstile’s modular design allows complete customization to suit the specific layout and operational needs of your site. 

Advanced facial recognition technology offers secure, touch-free access for approved users, while real-time reporting enhances workforce management, improving overall efficiency and productivity.
