✅ Full Height Turnstile Introduction
STXtek single lane full height turnstile is a high-security access control gate that extends from the floor to above head height, typically around 2 meters or more. It functions similarly to a revolving door, with rotating arms that allow one person to pass through at a time after authentication. Full height turnstiles are often used in areas requiring strict access control, such as stadiums, factories, construction sites, data centers, prisons, and secured office buildings. They provide physical deterrence and single-entry passage, making unauthorized access nearly impossible.
