Toilet Turnstiles

From shopping centres and train stations to dedicated standalone bathrooms, public toilet facilities are essential in a range of spaces. However, providing members of the public with these vital facilities also requires the right level of security. One way to achieve this is by utilising toilet turnstiles to enhance hygiene, health, and safety.

What are the benefits of turnstiles for public toilet facilities?

Toilet facilities are essential for the comfort and well-being of the public in any setting. It’s important to provide clean, safe facilities that offer privacy. Whether within another public building or as a standalone facility, turnstiles can benefit toilet spaces in a number of ways.

1. 1. Turnstiles ensure that only one person can enter the facility at a time, which can reduce crowding and improve health and safety.
   2. Controlling access can reduce the risk of vandalism, drug use, and anti-social behaviour, which can be problematic in less secure public toilets.
   3. Managing foot traffic flow can also improve cleanliness and hygiene standards.
   4. Limiting access at certain times using access control systems can also improve hygiene by allowing only authorised personnel, such as cleaning and maintenance teams, to enter the space.
   5. Installing turnstiles can be a cost-effective alternative to hiring dedicated security guards.
   6. With coin operation or contactless payment options, toilet turnstiles can create an additional revenue stream for shopping centres, train or bus stations, libraries, and other facilities.
   7. Adding payment access can also deter intruders who may otherwise enter the bathrooms and commit vandalism.
   8. Turnstiles from Security Solutions can be integrated seamlessly into your existing space and infrastructure.

What types of turnstiles are best for toilets?

Public bathrooms generally require a low to moderate level of security. For this reason, high-security full-height turnstiles aren’t usually necessary. Half-height turnstiles can be the ideal solution.

These waist-height barriers provide a visual deterrent and robust security, while allowing staff, attendants, and members of the public a full view of the space.

The most effective turnstiles for toilets include:

• SSTS 1000: These turnstiles are compact and cost-effective. They feature durable stainless steel arms and bi-directional movement, allowing venues to install both entrance and exit points.
• SSTS 2000: Similar to the SSTS 1000, this turnstile is made from robust materials and features three, bi-directional arms. It can also be linked to a fire alarm system for additional safety.

• SSPG Pass Gate: Our Pass Gates are DDA-compliant, meaning they are an accessible option suitable for wheelchair users and those with mobility aids. They feature glass gates and a failsafe mode that offers free two-way rotation in the event of a power cut.

We also offer full-height turnstiles and stadium turnstiles for facilities that require a higher level of security. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your options and requirements.

Turnstile maintenance and support

Toilet turnstiles in public spaces experience a lot of foot traffic and activity every day. For this reason, it’s essential to keep your turnstiles in excellent condition. We recommend arranging turnstile maintenance from a professional engineer at least once or twice a year.

The team at Security Solutions offers a range of turnstile maintenance packages tailored to meet all requirements. These packages include comprehensive servicing, emergency call-outs, and a 24/7 helpline. We’ll ensure your toilet turnstiles are working safely and efficiently to help you handle facility traffic.
