Turnstiles & Gates

Choose the passage.
Then the gate.

Start with the way people move through your entrance. Choose a gate structure, compare the models and plan the cabinet configuration around your access workflow.

Showing 1–6 of 6. Model names use the single-mechanism reference where applicable; a cabinet is not a complete lane.

Cabinet size is different from clear passage width and the complete installed footprint. Request the approved installation drawing before preparing the floor.

For compatible swing and flap systems, two outer single-mechanism cabinets form one lane. Adding a matching double-mechanism cabinet between them can form two lanes. Confirm the matching assemblies and project drawing; tripod and full-height structures use their own layouts.

Before you choose a gate.

How do we choose a gate structure?

Start with the passage workflow, available space and users. Swing gates use swinging barrier leaves; flap gates retract their barriers; tripod turnstiles use a three-arm mechanism; full-height turnstiles use a rotating barrier; AB gates coordinate two sequential stages. Review the lane layout, supervision, accessible route and emergency behaviour with the project team.

Does a single-mechanism cabinet mean a complete single lane?

For compatible swing and flap systems, a single-mechanism cabinet controls one side of a lane. Two matching outer cabinets form one lane; adding a compatible double-mechanism cabinet between them can form two lanes. Single and double mechanisms describe cabinet configurations, not complete lane quantities. Tripod, full-height and AB gates use their own arrangements. Confirm the final quantities and footprint on the project drawing.

Is cabinet size the same as clear passage width?

No. Cabinet size, clear passage width and the complete installed footprint describe different measurements. Confirm the cabinet arrangement, arm or barrier movement, accessible route, fixing pattern and service clearance using the approved project drawing.

Are the pictured readers and face terminals included?

The pictures illustrate possible access configurations. Confirm the gate, readers, terminals, controllers, software and quantities in the order. Match the credential output, gate input, control protocol and power arrangement before integration.

What should we provide to request a gate layout?

Send the entrance width, planned lanes, expected passage workflow, reader or controller, floor construction, power and cable route. Include the accessible route and required emergency behaviour. Ask for the model-specific installation and wiring references before preparing the site.
