STXtek flap barrier turnstile gate is an access control device designed to manage and control pedestrian flow in secure environments. It features retractable flaps that open and close swiftly to allow or deny access based on user authentication. Commonly used in commercial buildings, metro stations, airports, and corporate offices, flap barriers offer a balance of security, aesthetics, and convenience.
Flap barrier turnstile gate is a motorized access control device featuring swinging flaps (or arms) that regulate entry/exit by opening or closing based on validated credentials. Unlike tripod turnstiles, flap barriers use horizontal or vertical plexiglass/metal flaps to physically block or permit passage. They are ideal for high-security environments (e.g., corporate offices, metro stations, airports) where aesthetics, speed, and strict access control are prioritized.
