Looking for a modern and efficient way to manage pedestrian access in your building? Our drop arm turnstiles offer a seamless solution, combining robust security features with a sleek, minimalist design.

Auto-Reset Function: The arm automatically resets and locks after a successful pass or if a user fails to pass within the set time (e.g., 5-10 seconds), ensuring the barrier is always secured.
