Turnstile is a form of gate which allows one person to pass at a time and it is essential to be deployed to restrict access to authorized people gain entry. It can also be made so as to enforce one-way traffic of people, and in addition, it can restrict passage only to people who insert a coin, a ticket, a pass, or similar. Thus a turnstile can be used in the case of paid access or ticket barrier, for example to access public transport, a pay toilet, etc. For premise entry, they are commonly used in building lobbies, site offices, guard houses, dormitories and many others. The control of access will be using Card access reader or Bio-metric reader (Face, Iris, Finger or Vein). We design, propose and build according to the human traffic, the site condition and customer’s budget and requirement.
