Choosing The Correct Finish For A Turnstile

You have decided that your facility needs turnstiles and have even chosen which style would work best, but now you must make one more decision; it is now time to consider what material and finish you should choose. The decision on which material and finish will work best will be determined by the model of the turnstile, where your unit will be installed, and your budget.

Full Height Turnstile Finishes

Suppose you have decided on a full-height style turnstile. In that case, a wide selection of models is either galvanized, powder coated, stainless steel, galvanized over powder coated, or aluminum.

Waist High Turnstile Finishes

For those who have chosen waist-high turnstiles, almost all models of this style come in stainless steel. The difference between each model largely depends on the unit’s design. However, Brute Series models are carbon steel powder coated. If you want to install a turnstile outdoors, stay away from this model, as the longevity of this material outdoors is not long and suits indoor uses better.

Optical and Barrier Security Turnstiles

If you are going for a polished, nontraditional turnstile style, you might enjoy our barrier optical turnstiles. This series features optical arrays with clear barrier panels, giving them a modern aesthetic. These turnstiles can only be installed indoors and have a more significant price tag.
