Turniket
What does the term mean
Entry device dosing the passage of people (individually) and preventing "slipping".
Turniket is used where there is a need to have hard pass control (stadiums, halls, offices, logistics). It can be mechanical or motorised and is usually connected to ACS.
Practical benefit
- Physically enforces a “one at a time” pass.
- Speeds up check-in (if the process is well set up).
- Reduces the need for manual inspection, but does not replace supervision (tailgating still exists).
In the event environment, it works best in combination with accreditation and clear ingress/egress plan.
Practical meaning
How Turniket applies to a real service
It makes sense mainly when it results in a specific procedure for an object, an event or a team on site.
When is the term resolved
Turniket is mainly handled in practice when designing a facility, auditing security, handing over security technology, or when dealing with an alarm and incident.
Common mistakes in practice
The most common mistake is to deal with technology in isolation, without a procedure for operation, responsible persons, recording and response in real operation.
What to do in practice
If the term applies to your real operation, it connects to Event security. That is where we deal with the specific space, scope, responsibility and next step before deployment.
