Why Turnstile Systems Matter for Modern Facilities
Modern facilities operate in environments that require them to manage both security and operational efficiency, especially at entryways. Some of the everyday challenges they face include:
- Unauthorised entry and tailgating, especially in busy lobbies and lift areas
- Inefficient manual visitor handling, leading to delays and inconsistencies
- Incomplete or unreliable audit trails that create compliance and reporting gaps
- Peak-hour congestion that reduces productivity and stretches manpower
- Fragmented access systems across different entry points or building blocks
To overcome these issues, facilities need a turnstile solution that automates entry management, ensures accurate visitor logging, reduces reliance on manual checks, and integrates seamlessly with existing access control systems such as RFID, biometrics, and QR codes.
This is where partnering with Huntaway Security’s turnstile systems can be beneficial, delivering a secure, streamlined, and fully integrated entry experience for modern buildings.

Industry Applications
Offices & Corporate Buildings
Office lobbies, corporate towers, and commercial complexes have turnstiles installed for regulating employee and visitor access. When integrated with ID cards, QR codes, or biometric systems, they strengthen workplace security while ensuring a smooth, efficient, and professional entry experience.
Event Venues and Concerts
At event venues, arenas, and concert spaces, turnstiles support effective crowd control and ticket validation, ensuring that only authorised attendees enter. This helps organisers prevent overcrowding, maintain order, and deliver a faster, more seamless entry process for guests.
Turnstile Installation Best Practice
Site Assessment and Planning
Every installation begins with a full assessment of the entrance dimensions, expected foot traffic, and daily peak-hour flow. This ensures the chosen turnstile fits both the physical space and the operational demands.
Choosing the Right Turnstile Solution
Different turnstile systems serve different purposes. For instance, tripod turnstiles are durable and compact entryway security, while full-height turnstiles are for maximum physical security and restricted zones. Selecting the right model helps balance user experience, aesthetics, and the required level of security.
Power, Network, and Integration Requirements
Before installation, ensure the location has suitable electrical and network connections, including confirming voltage, wiring paths, and backup power if necessary. Most modern turnstiles integrate with systems like RFID readers, QR scanners, biometric devices, and fire safety systems. Seamless integration is essential for accurate logging, smooth operation, and compliance with safety regulations.
Installation Best Practices for Every Turnstile Type
Once you’ve selected the right turnstile system for your facility, proper installation is crucial to ensuring long-term performance, safety, and seamless integration with your access control infrastructure.
Tripod Turnstiles
Tripod turnstiles require a level and stable floor for secure mounting. The unit is typically anchored with expansion bolts and aligned to ensure smooth pedestrian guidance. After mechanical installation, the system is integrated with the site’s access control devices. Technicians then test arm movement, lock/unlock response, and access signals to ensure flawless operation.
Flap Barrier & Swing Gate Turnstiles
Precision is essential. Installers must ensure proper gate alignment, wing or flap opening width, delay time, speed, and sensor calibration. This ensures smooth operation, user safety, and accurate detection in everyday use.
Full-Height Turnstile Installation
Because these units are tall and heavy, the floor must be structurally sound and perfectly level. Installers must also ensure adequate space for full rotation and comfortable passage. The installation involves:
- Bolt-down anchoring
- Electrical and access control integration
- Calibration of rotation angles
- Anti-climb and emergency-release testing
Final integration ensures the unit works seamlessly with card readers, biometrics, or facial recognition systems.
Speed Gate Turnstile Installation
Speed gate installations focus on precision to support fast, high-volume traffic. The process typically involves:
- Accurate alignment of sliding or swinging wings
- Sensor calibration for direction, spacing, and anti-tailgating
- Connection to power, data, and fire safety systems
After installation, technicians conduct tests for opening/closing speed, safety-stop functionality, and throughput efficiency to ensure smooth, safe operation during peak flow periods.

Driven By Demand for Smart Security Solutions
The global security turnstile market is experiencing significant growth, projected to reach USD 2.7 billion by 2033. This remarkable growth is driven by rising demand from sectors that require strict security and efficient crowd management, including healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, and electronics.
In Singapore, this is reinforced by the government's commitment to security through smart solutions. For example, the evolving PolCam system has proven to be a vital tool for crime deterrence. From 2015 to 2020, physical crimes like housebreaking, vehicle theft, and property damage saw a decrease of more than half, thanks in part to these measures.
