Turnstiles are physical barriers that control pedestrian traffic flow and access at security checkpoints. They are designed to ensure that only authorized individuals are permitted entry, thus providing an additional layer of security. Turnstiles come in various customizable options, ranging from simple waist-high turnstiles to more sophisticated full-height ones to suit different security needs.

Furthermore, turnstiles have evolved with the latest technology, including biometric scanners and contactless access systems. This integration of technology makes entry authorization secure, but still quick and easy for users. DGA's exclusive Facepop™ identification technology integrates with turnstiles to instantly present stored visitor images upon the presentation of credentials, further enhancing security measures.
