Flap gates, also called optical flap turnstiles or automatic flap turnstile gate, as a classic type of optical turnstiles coming with a physical barrier, are designed to control pedestrians entering or exiting secured areas where both security access control and pedestrian traffic management are equally important. They are equipped infrared beams to detect whether a pedestrian has passed through the security turnstiles lane. If a person attempts to enter without authorization, a visual or audible alert is triggered, flap optical turnstiles will refuse to open along with the alerts to effectively deny access, and the high detection accuracy of flap barrier gate can effectively prevent clipping and collision, ensuring the safety of pedestrians. In addition, flap turnstile gates come with modern and stylish look, meeting the latest architectural trends.
Upon the receiption of valid signal, the automatic flap gate turnstiles' wing will fully retract into the housing and release the lane, and wedge-shaped wings meet near the top forming a barrier after passing or after the pre-defined passing time. On the other hand, they are supplied with standard interfaces for integrating various types of access control systems such as bar-code scanner, token coin collector, time & attendance system, card collector, face recognition system, and easily programe the single directional or bi-directional access according to the project requirements.
Flap gate turnstiles operate in a reliable way with low noise and low power consumption, and their nice design enables them to be used in lavish corporate lobbies, office buildings, data centers, government facilities, stadiums. As quick throughput is available with them, flap turnstiles are often also implemented in subways and other public transportation terminals.

Meanwhile, we are working hard to develop update flap type turnstiles with fashion design each year, and also provide customization as per customers‘ requirements. Welcome to reach us for more details on our products.
Flap gate turnstile is a simple and cost-effective waist high optical turnstile which is made up of two cabinets connected by invisible infrared beams. These cabinets use the infrared beams to detect whether pedestrians have passed through the security turnstile lane. The illegal intrusions or tailgating attempts will trigger a visual or audible alert, and the physical barrier will refuse to open along with the alerts to effectively deny access. Flap gate turnstile is able to be integrated with various access control systems and can be controlled remotely. In addition, it is mostly used at commericial and industrial places such as exhibitions, supermarkets, public transports.
How does flap gate turnstile works?
Flap gate turnstile comes with visible wings which operate in two-directional movements, when closed, the wedge-shaped wings meet near the top forming a barrier. When opened, the wings fully retract into the cabinet, creating free passage. It is supplied with infrared sensor to ensure that only one person enters for each authorized credential at one time. The pedestrians shows their valid credential when entry, the automatic turnstile will open for free access, and automatically close after access completed or out of passing time if pedestrians do not pass within pre-set time. Finally, flap gate optical turnstile provides a function that protects a person from any injury caused by the closing of the flap barrier wings during the person’s pass-through duration.
What are the benefits for intalling flap gate turnstile?
There are various benefits for intalling flap gate turnstile both for users and the business where they intalled. It allows automated access control, without the need for people in charging of monitoring access, avoids intrusions and increase security. it is useful for separating restricted-access areas, and help to manage the control of employees entering and leaving.
Can the flap gate turnstile be integrated with the third party access control system?
Yes, flap turnstile gateintegrates easily with facility access control and visitor management systems through standard dry contact inputs and outputs.
Flap gate turnstiletypes:
According to different drive motor, flap gate optical turnstiles can be divided into
Brush motor flap gate turnstile: such flap turnstile gate uses DC24V brush motor, it is an ideal crowd control managment requiring simple and cost-effective operation;
Brushless motor flap gate turnstile: such flap turnstile gate uses DC24V brushless motor, featuring fast opening speed, barrier-free, silent, safe to use,easy to use and maintain. Because of modular design, simpler structure and more convenient maintenance. The brushless motor is powerful, no wear, no noise, and its life is much longer than other motors.
Flap gate optical turnstile variation:
Flap gate turnstile is a classic type of waist high optical turnstiles which can come with a physical barrier or they can be barrier-free. Barrier-free optical turnstile relies solely on infrared beams to detect and deter passage, while barrier optical turnstiles utilize the internal infrared technology coupled with a physical barrier to provide added security against unwanted entry. optical turnstile cabinets can be installed as close to or as far apart from each other as needed. This provides flexibility and allows lanes to be handicap accessible.
Flap gate turnstile applications:
Flap gate turnstile adopts streamlined design with a more modern aesthetic to meet the latest architectural trends. The stainless steel construction and beautiful design allow them to be used in lavish corporate lobbies, office buildings, data centers, government facilities, public transportation systems, stadiums and more. With very quick throughput, it is often also implemented in subways and other public transportation terminals.
What are the advantages of flap gate turnstile ?
1) Supplied with fault self-checking and alarm prompting function, which isconvenient to maintain and use;
2) The running status is programmable directly from the control board;
3) Mechanical structure & induction anti-pinch functions;
4) Sound and light alarm function;
5) Anti-shock function, the swings are automatically locked if no open signal is received;
6) Telescopic boom synchronization function;
7) Automatic reset function. when open, if the pedestrians do not passage within the specified time, the system will automatically cancel the permission to access this time；
8) Flap turnstile automatically open after power failure, and automatically close when powered on;
9) Flexibly integrate a variety of access control systems；
10) One-way or bidirectional access mode；
