Flap Barrier / Turnstile

Flap Barrier / Turnstile

Flap barriers, also known as turnstiles, are highly efficient access control systems designed to regulate the flow of people in various environments. These systems offer a secure and organized way to manage pedestrian access while ensuring minimal disruptions and efficient crowd management. This article explores the features, benefits, and applications of flap barrier/turnstile systems.

Features and Components

  1.  
  2. Rotating Arms: Flap barrier systems consist of rotating arms that allow entry to one person at a time. These arms prevent tailgating or unauthorized passage.
  3.  
  4. Bi-directional Control: Most turnstiles are bi-directional, enabling smooth entry and exit flow while maintaining strict access control.
  5.  
  6. Access Control Integration: Flap barriers can integrate with access control technologies such as RFID card readers, barcode scanners, and biometric systems.
  7.  
  8. Safety Mechanisms: Turnstiles are equipped with sensors that prevent rotation if an obstruction is detected, ensuring user safety.
  9.  
  10. Manual Override: In case of emergencies or power failures, many systems have a manual override option to allow free passage.
  11.  
  12. Aesthetics: Turnstile designs vary, from minimalistic to more elaborate, and can be customized to match the surrounding environment.
