Turnstile gates, also known as pedestrian passage gates, are a popular security solution for controlling access and keeping intruders out. They are commonly used in public spaces like train stations, stadiums, college libraries, office buildings, movie theaters, and shopping malls—anywhere that requires controlled, one-person-at-a-time entry. Not all turnstiles are the same, and choosing the right one depends on your specific needs. To adapt to modern security requirements, 2M Technology now offers a Face/Mask Recognition Thermal Turnstile, combining advanced access control with health and safety features.
Face/Mask Recognition Heat sensor Swing Turnstiles:
2M Thermal Turnstiles offer face/mask recognition and body temperature detection for enhanced security and safety. You can integrate these turnstiles with ticketing systems and access control management systems for entry control. When the facial recognition reader detects a normal temperature and a valid entry pass (face scan, card, QR code, or badge), the barriers swing open, allowing the person to pass. If a person has a high fever, entry is denied, helping you maintain a safe environment.
Full-height turnstiles stand up to seven feet tall from the floor. They function similarly to revolving doors, but with the added benefit of body temperature scanning for better health and safety. Unlike traditional turnstiles, these are non-contact, helping to prevent the spread of infections.
The barriers are built with high-quality stainless steel or toughened glass for durability. Since the barriers are so tall, intruders cannot easily jump over them or crawl under. In other words, it’s almost impossible to bypass these turnstiles unless you have a valid credential, a normal body temperature, and a face mask.
Full-height turnstiles are designed to re-lock after each person, preventing tailgating and ensuring only one person can pass through at a time. Depending on your needs, they can be configured to allow one-day or two-way movement. Additionally, they’re resistant to damage or tampering, providing lasting security.
All these features make full-height turnstiles suitable for high-risk buildings, especially those with unmanned areas, such as:
- Bank vaults
- Government buildings
- Prisons
- Industrial plants
- Military bases
- Power plants
- Airports
- Parking lots
These turnstiles are available with single, double, or triple arm barriers. The barriers on tripod turnstiles rotate vertically, allowing only one person to enter at a time. They are usually integrated with ticketing systems and found in areas like train stations, bus terminals, airports, public parking lots, and parks.
These waist-high turnstiles feature optical sensors and swinging barriers made from tempered glass or acrylic. Glass swing gates are often used in office buildings due to their sleek, luxurious, and elegant appearance. With the widest lane width, these turnstiles are ideal for places where passengers need to carry luggage, such as train stations, hotels, or airports.
Retractable turnstiles are primarily used in high-traffic pedestrian areas due to their fast opening capabilities. They can be seen in airports, subway stations, or any transport hub where people need to move quickly.
2M Technology’s face/mask recognition thermal turnstiles provide secure access control with both mask recognition and temperature detection. As we adapt to new safety measures, it can be difficult for beginners to choose the right turnstile gate. We hope this article on the 5 most common types of turnstile gates helped you make the appropriate selection for the new normal.
