Turnstiles

Turnstile Access Control

Controlling access into any building where the area is unguarded can be difficult. Even with access control on a door it is possible for somebody to ‘Tailgate’ so undermining the security systems.

Ansador prides itself in having installed many such systems in London and the home counties over the last few years.

Controlling access into the main or rear entrance of a building is key to providing a secure environment.
Choosing the correct and most appropriate turnstile can be difficult. Ansador will provide you with advice to ensure the correct choice of turnstile.
Here are a few questions and pointers to choosing the best and most effective type of turnstile.

• How many people use the building? As a rough guide you can assume one lane will handle about 150 to 200 people assuming they are set up to be bi-directional.
• You can choose from tripod style, drop arm type, swing gate, pass agate in both stainless steel, glass or even mid steel.
• What sort of environment is It.? If it’s a construction site then we suggest the more functional trip type in a powdered coated finish.
• Would you like the turnstiles to fail to an open position on a fire alarm activation?
• How do you want the them to operate? Usually by card, or even finger print recognition. http://www.ansador.co.uk/card_access_door_systems.asp?category=Card%20Access&subcategory=Door%20Systems
• Would you like to be alerted if somebody tries to tailgate through the turnstile? Some of the systems offer this feature and can provide an impulse to an local alarm, CCTV camera or pager perhaps.
• Would you like reception to be able override the system with a remote push button?
