Features

Why facilities choose our glass rotating turnstiles

Mantrap Capability

Interlocking door sequences create a secure containment zone, preventing simultaneous entry and exit. Eliminates piggybacking and tailgating completely.

Full Glass 360° Drum

10mm tempered glass panels in a stainless steel frame create a striking architectural statement. Available in clear, frosted, tinted, or custom finishes.

Anti-Piggybacking

Integrated sensors detect and prevent multiple people attempting to pass through simultaneously. Only one authorized person per rotation cycle.

Biometric Integration Ready

Supports fingerprint, facial recognition, iris scanning, and palm vein readers alongside RFID, mobile credentials, and PIN entry for multi-factor authentication.

Interlocking Door Sequences

Controlled rotation prevents the next person from entering until the current person has fully exited. Configurable for entry-only, exit-only, or bi-directional flow.

Custom Finishes Available

Stainless steel frame with glass infill available in multiple finishes. Match your facility's design aesthetic with custom colors, glass tints, and frame treatments.

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.

A direct engineer in 24h

Manufacturer-direct support with no distributor layer. The people who build and program the hardware answer integration and service calls, typically within 24 hours.

Glass rotating turnstile FAQs

A glass rotating turnstile is a full-height security entrance featuring a cylindrical glass drum that rotates 360° to allow one person at a time to pass through. The drum is constructed from 10mm tempered glass panels set in a stainless steel frame. Interlocking door sequences ensure only one entry or exit occurs at a time, providing mantrap-level security with a premium architectural appearance.

Mantrap capability means the turnstile creates an enclosed space where a person is temporarily contained between two locked points. The interlocking door sequences prevent the next person from entering until the current person has fully exited. This eliminates piggybacking and tailgating, ideal for data centers, banks, and jewelry stores.

Gatestile glass rotating turnstiles use 10mm tempered safety glass panels. Tempered glass is up to five times stronger than standard glass and, if broken, shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces. The glass can be specified in clear, frosted, tinted, or custom finishes.
