Where are full-height turnstiles used?

Full-height turnstiles are used in locations where strict access control and a high level of security are required, as they are more difficult to bypass or circumvent than low turnstiles. These are the most common environments where they are installed:

1. Prisons and Correctional Centers

- Use: At access points to restricted areas, courtyards, workshops, or visiting areas.

- Function: Prevent escapes and control the movement of inmates and staff.

2. Military and Government Facilities

- Example: Military bases, intelligence buildings, or security-classified areas.

- Advantage: Block intrusions and restrict unauthorized access.

3. High-Security Companies

- Nuclear industry, chemical plants, or data centers.

- Objective: Protect critical infrastructure.

4. Stadiums and Mass Events

- Crowd control: At VIP entrances or exclusive areas to prevent entry without accreditation.

5. Public Transportation (Subway/Train Stations)

- Example: In some high-traffic or high-risk subway stations.

- Benefit: Reduces fraud (prevents skipping or jumping the line).

6. Airports

- Restricted areas: Such as access to runways or loading areas.

Key Features:

- Materials: Stainless steel or reinforced aluminum.

- Mechanism: Automatic locking in case of forced entry.
