Office Turnstiles

Whether your team is housed in a multistorey office block, you manage a co-working space, or you’re looking to boost a commercial building’s perimeter security, turnstiles are a wise choice.

Office turnstiles are available in a range of designs, and when you work with the team at Security Solutions, you can benefit from robust construction, customisation, and access control systems.

What are the benefits of turnstiles for offices?

No matter the type of office building in question — be it a purpose-built block or a converted ground-floor space — perimeter security is an effective way to keep employees safe. You may also have computers and other equipment that require protection.

Turnstiles can be placed in foyers and reception areas, outside internal office spaces, and in other locations to monitor access. These barriers ensure that only one person can get through at a time, which can be highly beneficial for offices in a number of ways:

1. Only authorised personnel can enter the space. This could be business staff accessing communal areas and their dedicated office, or cleaners and facility managers need to access storage areas.
2. Turnstiles can also be helpful in managing visitors, whether they are provided access manually or given temporary passes.
3. This level of security can reduce the risk of theft and vandalism, which is especially important in offices where expensive equipment or devices containing sensitive information may be present.
4. Offices tend to have peak entrance and exit times. Turnstiles can help reduce overcrowding in the morning, at lunchtime, and at the end of the working day. Not only does this create a more streamlined experience for office users, but it is also essential for health and safety.
5. The visual impact of turnstiles — especially those equipped with clear access control systems or CCTV — can be an effective deterrent, deterring potential intruders from attempting to enter the building or specific areas.
6. Automatic turnstiles can create a more efficient traffic flow. Reception staff and other personnel won’t need to carry out as many manual checks, allowing them to focus on other tasks or areas of their role.

What types of turnstiles are best for office buildings?

In our years of experience implementing effective perimeter security, we have worked with a broad range of sectors, from airports to theme parks.

We have engineered and fitted half-height turnstiles, full-height turnstiles, portable cabin turnstiles, and stadium turnstiles, and are able to recommend the most suitable options for every site’s unique security requirements.

For offices, whether private or shared, we have found that half-height turnstiles are most effective. These waist-height barriers create a clear separation of space without obscuring the vision of staff and visitors. They are ideal for reception areas, waiting rooms, foyers, hallways, and corridors.

Our top recommendations for office turnstiles include:

• SSGG Fastlane Glassgate 150: The sleek and modern glass design of this turnstile will fit any contemporary office foyer. This model is compact yet robust and durable, making it a great option for offices with limited space.

• SSGG Fastlane Glassgate 200: Similar to the SSG Fastlane Glassgate 150, this turnstile has a modern glass aesthetic. It has wider lanes, providing accessibility for wheelchair and mobility aid users.
• SSGW Fastlane Glasswing: If you need a turnstile for a busy lobby, particularly at peak times, the SSGW Fastlane Glasswing is a good choice. It opens and closes quickly, allowing it to handle high footfall with ease.

• SSPG Pass Gate: When wider access is needed for wheelchair users, deliveries, and other requirements, the SSPG Pass Gate provides a compliant and convenient solution.

• SSTS 1000: Compact and cost-effective, this stainless steel tripod turnstile is a reliable option for various locations within an office building.

What customisation options are available for office turnstiles?

At Security Solutions, we pride ourselves on manufacturing and installing bespoke turnstiles built to your exact specifications. From dimensions to finishes, we can customise a wide range of elements. Our other customisation options include:

• Adding your business logo
• Integrating lights
• Adding a finish of your choice (for example, stainless steel or powder coated)
• Installing elliptical pedestal ends
• Including decorative pedestal tops

Adding access control systems to your office turnstiles

Along with design customisations, we can addstate-of-the-art access control systems to ensure your office turnstiles are straightforward to use and incredibly secure.

Many offices opt for card access systems for their turnstiles. Staff and office users can then scan their card at each entrance or exit point, creating a secure flow of pedestrian traffic.

Other access options include:

• Keypad access
• Coin or token operation
• Audio intercom

We can also integrate CCTV systems for additional peace of mind.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Security Solutions team to discuss any access control measures or additional features you would like to integrate with your office turnstiles.
