A Smart Solution for Controlled Access In the fast-paced world of facility management and building security, controlling the flow of people without sacrificing convenience is a top priority. That’s where the Stainless Steel Half Height Single Lane Turnstile Gate shines—offering an efficient, sleek, and cost-effective access control solution.
Whether it’s a corporate office, gym, metro station, or public event space, these turnstiles provide regulated pedestrian access, with a balance of security, aesthetics, and functionality.
🔍 What Is a Half Height Single Lane Turnstile? A Half Height Single Lane Turnstile is a waist-high gate that allows one person at a time to pass through a specific entry or exit point. It's made from durable stainless steel, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
This gate is often integrated with access control systems, such as:
RFID card readers
Biometric scanners
Keypads
QR/barcode readers
⚙️ How It Works: Step-by-Step
-
Idle/Locked Position By default, the turnstile arms are locked in place, preventing unauthorized passage. The gate remains closed until it receives an access authorization signal.
-
Access Request When a person presents valid credentials (e.g., swiping a card or scanning a fingerprint), the integrated control system sends a signal to the turnstile mechanism.
-
Unlocking Mechanism Upon receiving the signal, the electromechanical or motorized mechanism releases the locking system, allowing the turnstile arm to rotate in one direction (entry or exit).
-
Passage The user gently pushes the arm to pass through. The mechanism ensures only one rotation per authentication, allowing one person per valid entry.
-
Auto-Reset After passage, the turnstile arm automatically returns to the locked position. If no one passes within a pre-set time (usually 5–10 seconds), the system resets and relocks.
