Office Building Entrance Passage Control Swing Gate Turnstile Multi Lane Direction Switching For Towers

Product Introduction

An office tower entrance has to do more than open a gate: it has to separate staff from visitors, reverse the direction of the lanes when the morning arrival turns into the evening exit, let a group of twenty meeting guests through without twenty separate scans, and still give the security room a clear picture of every lane. This swing gate turnstile is configured for exactly that passage control job. Each lane can be set to entry only, exit only or bidirectional, and the direction is switched by schedule or by a single command from the guard room, so four lanes serve the morning and evening peaks without adding gates. A 100W brushless drive opens the acrylic swing arms in 0.5 seconds, one lane passes 30 persons per minute in controlled mode or 40 persons per minute in normally open mode, and four pairs of infrared sensors protect the passage against tailgating, reverse entry and objects left behind. The cabinet is a 1200*200*1060mm stainless steel body that fits between the lobby columns, and every lane reports its status, alarms and pass records to the management platform through RS485 or TCP/IP.

Product Features and Advantages

1. Separate Staff And Visitor Lanes

Dedicated lanes can be assigned to employees with cards or face recognition and to visitors with QR codes or temporary cards, so the staff flow is never slowed by visitor registration and the reception desk always knows which visitor is inside the building. Lane signage and the LED indicator lights make the separation clear without extra staff.

2. Direction Switching For Morning And Evening Peaks

When the morning arrival ends, the security room switches the lanes from entry to exit by schedule or with one command, and the lane direction arrows update immediately. A tower can therefore run four lanes for entry at 8:30 and four lanes for exit at 18:00 without building a second entrance.

3. Group Pass For Meetings And Deliveries

The controller supports a group pass mode in which a single authorised credential opens the lane for a defined number of people within a short time window, which is practical when a meeting group, an interview batch or a delivery team arrives together. The lane returns to normal single-pass control automatically when the window closes.

4. Central Monitoring Of Every Lane

Lane status, open or closed, direction, alarm events and pass records are reported through RS485 or TCP/IP to the property management platform. The guard room can release a lane remotely for a visitor, close a lane for cleaning, or read which lanes are congested and redirect the flow during the peak.

5. Fast, Safe And Fire Alarm Ready

The arms open in 0.5 seconds, the lane passes 40 persons per minute in normally open mode, and the anti-clamp logic reverses the arms if a person is detected in the passage. On a fire alarm signal the lanes open automatically into free passage, and the key switch allows manual release during maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many lanes does an office tower entrance need?

A common rule is one lane per 600 to 800 employees arriving in the peak 30 minutes, plus one dedicated visitor lane. Send us the employee headcount, the visitor volume and the lobby width and our engineers will propose the lane arrangement and the direction plan.

2. Can the lanes change direction during the day?

Yes. Each lane can be entry only, exit only or bidirectional, and the direction can be changed by a time schedule or by a command from the guard room. The LED indicators and the direction arrows on the cabinet update at the same time.

3. How does the group pass mode work for visitors?

Reception issues one authorised credential for the group with a pass count and a validity window. The lane opens for the defined number of people and then returns to single-pass control, and the entry record shows the group, the lane and the time.

4. Can the lanes be linked to our property management system?

Yes. The controller provides relay switch signals, 12V level and pulse signals, RS485 and TCP/IP, and we supply the protocol document so your platform can read lane status, alarms and pass records or send remote release commands.

5. What are the MOQ, price and delivery time?

Minimum order quantity is 1 pc, the reference price is USD470 to USD940 per lane depending on the reader configuration, and delivery takes 5-14 working days. Lane width from 550mm to 800mm, cabinet size and finish can be customised to the lobby layout.
