Swing barrier gate, also known as a swing gate or turnstile gate, is a type of security gate used to control pedestrian access in areas that require restricted entry or exit. It consists of a barrier with rotating arms that swing open to allow passage and swing closed to restrict access. Swing barrier gates are commonly seen in places like airports, train stations, stadiums, office buildings, and other public areas.
These gates can be operated manually, where a security guard controls the opening and closing of the gate, or automatically, where access control systems such as RFID cards, barcode readers, or biometric scanners are used to authorize entry. Swing barrier gates are designed to efficiently manage pedestrian flow, prevent unauthorized access, and enhance security in various environments.
