Turnstiles

A turnstile is another way to implement security solutions. It is also known as a baffle gate. Turnstile is a kind of gate which allows a single person to pass at a time. It is also used to control traffic at a crowded place to maintain discipline. It only allows those persons who have a coin, a ticket, a card or a pass or something similar. These access cards or tickets can be used at the place for which they are coded. Based on this we can also call a turnstile a fare gate or a ticket barrier.

It can be seen from different perspectives like at Corporate places or business houses turnstiles provides accurate attendance, at Security places, it is hard to pass through turnstiles which help security persons to have a clear view of each people who enter or exits i.e. they can easily identify everyone when some serious problem occurs. Turnstiles help to prohibit trouble causing materials.

Turnstiles are used to raise security standards. They are very fast and accurate which saves time.

For those persons who are physically challenged faces difficulties in using turnstiles. So to avoid it a wide aisle gate or a manual gate is provided. At places where luggage is expected, a line of turnstiles is formed there. Turnstiles use the mechanism to allow the rotation of the style in a single direction only.
