Security Turnstile Options For Your Place Of Business

By Sally Solen


A good security system is essential for every place of business. Whether your company deals in top secret projects or just want to keep certain company information secret, you need to make sure they are safe from prying eyes or thievery. If you are running an office building or facility that you rent out to different companies, you should also provide them with security measures to help them keep their company assets safe. You can select from different types of security door options that can be installed in your building or office facility. One type of security system unit that you can potentially install are security turnstile units. This type of security measure is used in entrance locations, particularly areas that experience a high amount of foot traffic like the lobby.

These security measures can track and record the identification badges of authorized personnel who go through them. This feature ensures that only authorized personnel are going through the security units and are in the facility. Even those who are visiting are issued guest identification badges before they can enter the building or facility to find the personnel, company or department that they want to visit.

Security turnstiles are also equipped with features that make it easy to track the actual number of people passing through the turnstiles. The turnstile system can keep track of the number of people attempting to enter compared to the actual number of identification badges it recognizes.

This feature can help you avoid cases of tailgating, wherein some people attempt to gain entry by following right after someone with the recognized identification badge. Once the system recognizes that there is an attempt to tailgate, whether by an intruder or employee who forgot his ID, your security team can be alerted or the unit can sound an alarm.

Gone are the days when these security doors are considered bulky and unattractive. There are manufacturers that focus on creating security doors that are modern, sleek looking, and will fit in any modern looking office building. You can install between two different types of turnstiles in your facility's lobby. The first is the optical turnstile or barrier free turnstile, which allows those who have the proper identification to easily pass through.

You can expect that these turnstiles can give your lobby a smooth flowing foot traffic. Intruders or those who don't have their IDs with them will be identified by the turnstiles and your security team will be alerted. Other models for these security doors are barrier turnstiles
