Your business is your investment, your livelihood, and your passion. Like any worthwhile investment, you should protect your business with the best security solution possible. But how do you know what security solutions are right for you?
Spade Security Solutions is an industry leader when it comes to access control systems. We’ll show you the advantages of installing full-height turnstiles and help you understand whether they’re a good fit for your building.
What Are Full-Height Security Turnstiles?
Full-height security turnstiles are essentially a barricade that prevents unauthorized access to your building. You may be familiar with security turnstiles that require a swipe of your metro card to gain entry to a subway platform, for instance. But unlike waist-high security turnstiles, full-height turnstiles cannot be jumped or bypassed. They are higher and broader in size, making them virtually impenetrable unless you have the proper credentials required for access.
Since the turnstile locks automatically once the credentialed person walks through, full-height turnstiles also prevent unauthorized individuals from tailing a credentialed person into a secure area. Whereas a secure door can easily be accessed by someone following closely behind another person, full-height turnstiles are designed with a relatively narrow passageway that allows only one person to enter at a time.
Spade’s full-height turnstiles are reinforced with the most durable materials, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. We offer versions in stainless steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum.
You can also customize them according to your specific needs and preferences. Full-height turnstiles can be manually operated or motorized, for example, so users don’t have to push the circular section. They can also be designed for single-lane or dual-lane use, so more than one lane can be in use at any given time. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula when it comes to turnstiles, so we’ll work with you to find the style most suitable for your particular commercial building.
How Are Full-Height Security Turnstiles Used?
Full-height turnstiles are used for businesses looking for premium protection. They are used in a variety of places that implement maximum security measures. You may find them in prisons, sports arenas, construction areas, airports, or other commercial spaces.
Full-height turnstiles are ideal for unattended areas requiring high-level security. While they require an initial investment, they save business owners money over time by eliminating the need for 24-hour security personnel.
They can also be optimized with the latest advancements in security technology to prevent unauthorized entry. For instance, turnstiles can be integrated with facial recognition technology or other biometric authentication to guarantee that only authorized individuals are able to gain access to the secure area.
Benefits of Full-Height Turnstiles
Maximizes Efficiency
People can swipe their credentials and pass through a turnstile in just a matter of seconds. By installing turnstiles, you’re saving time and maximizing the efficiency of your business. There’s no need for employees to stand in long lines or have security personnel painstakingly check IDs. Instead, people can enter the secure area of your building quickly and easily without compromising security.
Enables Data Collection
An additional benefit of full-height turnstiles is that they can collect and store data. If you want to know how many people are accessing the secure entry point, you can retrieve that information from the data collected. You can also gather more precise data on who specifically accessed the secure area and when. Having this information at your fingertips can enable you to better streamline your business operations.
Enhances Performance Capability
Technology is constantly evolving and advancing. That means technology can detect what the human eye can’t. Whether it’s a fingerprint scan or facial recognition technology, turnstiles can use biometric authentication to ensure that only individuals with the proper clearance are accessing your secure areas. Rather than simply checking a photo ID, today’s biometric technology can verify credentialed individuals with the highest level of precision and accuracy.
You can also customize security turnstiles according to your individual preferences, choosing to implement the most advanced or standard technology available. Whether it’s saving time, money, and energy or reducing the risk of illicit entry, full-height security turnstiles have myriad benefits for your business.
What Do I Need to Install Full-Height Turnstiles?
Full-height turnstiles are typically installed on fence lines. They normally require a level concrete pad and running high-voltage wiring to each unit. We can help determine the exact height and width specifications required.
