Published price bands
We publish real per-lane ranges up front so you can budget before a single call. Most incumbents make you ask.
5-year warranty
Every unit carries a 5-year warranty, backed by a US spare-parts inventory and factory-direct support.
Trusted by industry leaders
Owning it after the install
The part most brands go quiet about
Serviceability, spare-parts speed, and who actually answers the phone decide your year-five maintenance budget more than the spec sheet does. Here is how buying manufacturer-direct changes it.
US-assembled in Brooklyn
Built and commissioned at our Brooklyn facility, not drop-shipped from a container. You get a domestic point of contact for the life of the unit.
Same-day US parts
Spare motors, boards, sensors and seals ship same-day from Brooklyn inventory: no customs hold, no import-parts risk when a European supply line goes dark.
Serviceable by design
Front-access panels and modular drives mean a tech reaches the controls without dismantling the whole lane. Standard hand tools, documented procedures.

Buyer FAQs
Straight answers on price
How much does a commercial turnstile cost in 2026?
Commercial turnstiles range from about $3,000 per lane for entry-level tripod turnstiles to $60,000 per unit for premium glass rotating units, before installation. Mid-tier optical speed gates (the typical Class A office choice) land in the $8,000 to $22,000 per-lane range. Full-height industrial turnstiles run $7,000 to $18,000 per lane. Add roughly $2,000 to $8,000 per lane on top for installation, freight, and commissioning.
What is the cheapest commercial turnstile?
Tripod turnstiles are the cheapest commercial-grade option, starting around $3,000 to $5,000 per lane for a basic indoor unit with a single reader integration. They are widely used in gyms, transit, and budget-conscious access control deployments. Below that price point you are typically looking at consumer hardware that will not hold up to high-traffic use.
How much does turnstile installation cost?
Installation typically adds $2,000 to $8,000 per lane on top of the hardware cost in the US, depending on site conditions. The line items are freight, anchoring and floor prep, conduit and low-voltage wiring, and commissioning with the access control head-end. Outdoor and IP65-rated installs run higher because of weatherproofing and surface-mount enclosures.
What is the lead time on commercial turnstiles?
Our US-assembled turnstiles typically ship in 3 to 8 weeks for standard configurations, depending on the product line. Imported turnstiles from European or Asian manufacturers commonly run 10 to 14 weeks door-to-door once you account for ocean freight and US customs. Custom finishes or biometric reader integrations can extend either path by 2 to 4 weeks.
Is it cheaper to buy directly from a manufacturer or through an integrator?
Buying direct removes the integrator's hardware markup, while the integrator's fee covers project management, install labor, and access-control programming. Direct purchase makes sense when you have an in-house facilities team or a separate low-voltage contractor. Integrator pricing makes sense for single-source accountability on complex multi-system jobs.
