Wing Turnstiles

A wing turnstile (also known as an optical flap turnstile or speed gate) is a modern access control solution that uses retractable or swinging glass barriers to regulate pedestrian entry. Unlike older mechanical gates, these turnstiles rely on advanced infrared sensors to track movement, detect tailgating, and ensure only one authorized person passes at a time. They are widely favored in corporate lobbies, high-end gyms, and government buildings because of their sleek aesthetics, fast throughput, and ADA compliance. The transparent glass “wings” can easily be configured in wider lanes to accommodate wheelchairs or deliveries, making them incredibly versatile for any high-traffic, design-conscious environment.
