Access control
Swing gate turnstiles for efficient access control
Designed for high-traffic areas, they offer smooth, contactless entry with robust performance, enhancing security and flow in commercial spaces.

How the lane works
A swing gate turnstile uses a single wide swinging panel rather than a pair of retracting flaps. The wider clear opening is what makes it the accessible lane: it takes a wheelchair, a trolley, luggage or a delivery without the user having to turn sideways.
OSIL supplies swing gate turnstiles for high-traffic commercial entrances, usually alongside narrower flap or tripod lanes so that a building has both fast throughput and an accessible route through the same line of pedestals.
Where it suits
- Accessible lanes in office lobbies
- Commercial entrances taking trolleys or luggage
- Buildings needing a wide lane beside standard lanes
- Visitor entrances where flow matters more than density
Worth knowing before you spec it
The honest trade-offs — the things that decide between one format and another.
- — Widest clear opening of the four formats — usually the accessible lane
- — Needs a swing arc clear of the pedestal, unlike a flap lane
- — Lower people-per-minute than a flap lane because the panel travels further
- — Often specified one per bank of lanes rather than for every lane
Questions about swing gate turnstiles
Usually yes. Flap lanes are narrow, so most buildings add one wide swing lane for wheelchair users, deliveries and luggage. Accessibility requirements generally drive this rather than throughput.

Most buildings end up with a mix — fast lanes for staff, one wide lane for accessibility. A survey settles the count and the layout.
