Turnstiles are one of the most common access control solutions.
They regulate the flow of people, ensure site security, and help track attendance. Turnstiles are widely used in business centers, railway stations, sports facilities, schools, universities, and industrial enterprises. Regular maintenance and timely repair are essential to keep them operating efficiently.
Even the most reliable systems require regular maintenance.
Any malfunction can cause serious problems: building access is disrupted, queues form, and the access control system fails to perform its functions. To avoid this, turnstiles must be regularly inspected, cleaned, tested, and repaired. Professional maintenance and repair services help prevent these issues and ensure smooth operation.
Why Turnstiles Need Regular Maintenance
