When it comes to securing your facility, selecting the right type of turnstile is essential. Whether you're managing a high-traffic corporate lobby, a construction site, or a stadium, each environment requires a tailored solution. Here's how to make the right choice.
Understand Your Security Needs
Different turnstiles offer different levels of deterrence and control. Full-height turnstiles like TurnIQ’s TitanX or XRX are ideal for high-security environments where unauthorized entry must be physically prevented. For moderate control with a modern look, Fast Pass speed gates combine aesthetics and function.
Consider Traffic Flow
High-volume environments such as transportation hubs or large office buildings may benefit from speed gates or dual-lane tripod systems. These options allow for smooth, fast access without sacrificing control. Low-traffic areas might require only a single-lane tripod or swing gate.
Factor in Installation Space
Space constraints can affect your choice. Tripod turnstiles are compact and suitable for narrow entryways, while full-height models need more clearance but offer greater security. TurnIQ’s modular designs allow for flexibility even in limited spaces.
Think About Integration
Will your turnstile need to integrate with an existing access control system? Ensure your selected model supports RFID, biometric, or keypad authentication. TurnIQ turnstiles are compatible with most access management platforms.
Evaluate Power Options
If you're installing at a remote or temporary location, off-grid options like solar kits and UPS battery backups are essential. TurnIQ offers these across several product lines, including TitanX and SteelGuard mobile turnstile systems.
Match Aesthetic and Brand Standards
In environments where appearance matters—such as office buildings or event venues—consider materials and finishes. Stainless steel, powder-coated options, and customizable colors allow you to align with your brand.
Conclusion
Choosing the right turnstile depends on a range of factors: security level, traffic volume, space, and power availability. TurnIQ offers a full portfolio—from rugged construction site units to sleek lobby gates—so you can find the perfect fit for your needs.
