How to Choose the Right Turnstile for Your Business
1. Consider the Turnstile Type Based on Application
- Full Height Turnstile
Suitable for areas requiring high security, such as industrial plants, warehouses, large stadiums, or restricted areas, as they provide 100% climbing protection.
- Swing Gate / Speed Gate / Flap Barrier
Suitable for high-rise office buildings, shopping malls, and train stations, providing a modern, fast design that supports high daily traffic volumes. - Tripod Turnstile
Suitable for general office buildings, schools, or locations requiring simple access control while maintaining basic security.
2. Access Control System Compatibility
You should check whether the Turnstile model you choose can be connected to your existing access control system. Good integration will enhance user safety and convenience. For example:
- Card Reader / RFID
- QR Code Scanner
- Biometrics (Face Recognition, Fingerprint)
3. Speed and Number of People Using Turnstiles Per Day
If your business has many people using your entrance/exit simultaneously, such as a large office building or a train station, you should choose a Turnstile with a Speed Gate or Flap Barrier, as these enable high opening and closing speeds to reduce queues during rush hours.
4. Design and Corporate Image
Turnstiles are the first thing visitors see upon entering your business. Choose a design that reflects your organization's image and standards, such as:
- Stainless Modern Look for office buildings
- Heavy Duty Design for industrial plants
5. Budget and Maintenance
Don't forget to consider long-term installation and maintenance costs. Choose a brand with a clear warranty and a support team in Thailand to ensure your equipment continues to function and is quickly resolved if problems arise.
Conclusion
Turnstiles are more than just a barrier, but also an integral part of your organization's security and brand image. Choosing the right equipment for your business needs, budget, and needs will increase efficiency, order, and employee safety in the workplace.
