Rotating turnstile security doors are a system commonly used in commercial and public buildings to manage the flow of people, improve energy efficiency, and increase security. There are several types of rotating turnstile doors, each with specific characteristics and applications. Here’s an overview of the main types:
- Manual Revolving Doors:
- Traditional: They have three or four panels mounted on a central axis and are pushed manually by people entering. These doors are simple and do not require electricity.
- Manually Assisted: These doors have a mechanism that makes manual rotation easier, reducing the effort required by the user.
- Automatic Revolving Doors:
- Motion Sensor: These doors open automatically when sensors detect a person approaching. They are electrically powered and offer an effortless entry experience.
- Access Control: They integrate access control systems such as badges, fingerprints or facial recognition to allow entry only to authorised people.
- Security Revolving Doors:
- Anti-Panic: These doors are designed to fold down completely in an emergency, allowing for quick and safe evacuation.
- Burglar-proof: Made with reinforced materials and advanced locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized or forced entry.
- Special Design Revolving Doors:
- Low Speed: Designed for environments with high traffic of elderly or disabled people, these doors rotate at a slower speed to increase safety and accessibility.
- Custom: They can be custom-designed to suit a building’s specific aesthetic or functional needs, including options with colored glass, unique shapes, or special materials.
- Energy Efficient Revolving Doors:
- Thermally Insulated: Designed to minimize heat loss or cold air entry, these doors are ideal for buildings aiming to improve energy efficiency.
Each type of revolving door has specific applications and benefits, depending on the building’s needs, frequency of use, and safety and energy efficiency priorities.
