DaveA Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 Hi All, I have been asked by our leadership team to look into a system for our sixth form pupils to use to enter and leave our school building but would stop people tailgating behind each other, the only thing I can think of is a turnstile system. Has anyone got any experience of installing these in schools or an other suggestions of a suitable solution I could look into. Thanks Dave.
Aprice Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 Turnstiles or speed gates would be the options I'd put forward. Speed gates tend to be faster but can be slightly more troublesome if people are deliberately trying to tailgate. They do tend to still need to be in a supervised area though, otherwise you get them sliding underneath or jumping over the top. Speed gates can be setup to alarm if they detect this but do tend to be more expensive. I've worked with these before a while back in a school, wired in with Paxton. Happy to advise further if needed.
howartp Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 We've got two sets of these at the top of our site. Different year groups can access in, out or both at different times depending what's set. You need to have a method of anti-passback, ie don't allow a student card to operate the turnstile twice or they pass their card back to their mate. Ours lock you out for 5 minutes on the basis you can't get to the village shops, buy food and get back again in much less than 5 minutes. Nothing stopping two people going through together though...
