Optical Turnstiles

Optical turnstiles from Alvarado provide secure bi-directional entry control, while blending beautifully with high end environments. Some of the benefits of using optical turnstiles include: increased facility security; more organized entry/exit process; and a reduction in staff required to monitor guest/employee access.

All models integrate with nearly any access control system and provide quiet, highly-reliable operation and rapid throughput. A combination of integrated sensors and motorized barriers control access, block unauthorized entry attempts and detect "tailgating" on allowed entries. Sounds and lights alert when an unauthorized passage is attempted. Center cabinet designs allow for space-saving, multilane configurations. All models are available in widths that meet ADA requirements.

Full Height Turnstiles

Full height turnstiles from Alvarado secure sensitive and restricted areas and provide entry control for a number of applications. Turnstiles do what a gate or door cannot, provide directional control of each passage and limit access to one person per activation. A turnstile does not sleep, take breaks, play favorites or require a paycheck, it simply provides a secure, unmanned point of entry that significantly increases facility security.

All full height turnstiles feature HydraLine - Alvarado’s revolutionary speed control that self-adjusts to the pushing force of the user to ensure a controlled and quiet rotation with automatic self-centering for improved security and safer passage. Electrically controlled models work with nearly any access control system.

Waist High Turnstiles

Waist high turnstiles from Alvarado provide safe, reliable bi-directional access control. All turnstiles are designed for years of smooth, trouble-free operation and are available in manual and electrically controlled models.

Alvarado’s waist high turnstiles feature hydraulically damped arm rotation with automatic self centering. The attractive bullet style head and arms provide a comfortable patron passage. All models ship fully assembled for quick and easy installation. Each turnstile is available in a satin stainless steel or powder coat finish. Electrically controlled models work with nearly any access control system.

Pedestrian Gates

Alvarado security gates are engineered for safe and reliable operation. Gates are used for disabled or special patron access, parcel delivery or large group access, and are often used in conjunction with turnstiles.

Electrically controlled gates work with basic entry devices (buzzers/push buttons) and nearly any access control system. Gates ship fully assembled.
