Turnstile Supply and Installation Across Kenya
Masterpiece Systems Limited supplies and installs turnstile access control systems across Kenya for offices, factories, gyms and other premises that manage staff or visitor entry. Based in Nairobi, we conduct site surveys and carry out installations countrywide.
A turnstile controls pedestrian passage through a designated entry or exit lane. Share your entrance layout, expected foot traffic and preferred entry method so we can assess the lane types and equipment to include in your quotation.
Site survey and installation fees may apply. We confirm applicable charges before booking.

The installed cost depends on the turnstile type, number of lanes, passage width and the readers or controllers required. Delivery, floor preparation, mounting, cabling, configuration and testing can also affect the total. Ask whether software licences, staff handover and maintenance are included.
What to send for a quotation. Share your town or county, entrance dimensions, peak foot traffic and preferred entry method. Include photos or a floor plan if available. Tell us whether you need equipment only or supply and installation, and identify any existing readers or controllers you want to retain.
Which Turnstile Fits Your Entrance?
Start with the entrance layout, peak arrivals and departures, and the routes different users need. A tripod is one type of waist-high turnstile. Speed gates can use optical sensors and swing panels, depending on the model.
| Turnstile type | When to consider it | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Tripod or waist-high turnstile | Offices, gyms and staffed entrances that need a defined pedestrian lane. | Passage width, direction of travel, reader placement and an alternative route. |
| Full-height turnstile | Staff or perimeter entrances where the site calls for a full-height rotating barrier. | Footprint, mounting surface, indoor or outdoor suitability, accessibility and emergency exit routes. |
| Speed gate or optical lane | Reception areas and lobbies where lane layout and queues affect how people enter. | Rated throughput, lane width and how the proposed model handles denied entry. |
| Wide-lane swing gate | A companion lane for wheelchair users, people carrying bulky items or staff moving equipment. | Clear opening, gate release and accessibility along the full approach and exit route. |
RFID, QR Code and Biometric Reader Compatibility
Decide how staff and visitors will request entry. Staff may use RFID cards, while visitors may need a temporary QR code or entry approved by reception. For QR codes or biometric verification, confirm that the proposed reader, controller, software and turnstile support the way you want to manage entry.
For an upgrade, send the existing reader and controller model numbers, credential type and access software version. The quotation can identify equipment that can be reused, any additional interfaces or licences, and the checks included for entry, exit and denied access.
How Turnstile Installation Works
-
1. Review Entry Requirements
Identify the users, peak foot traffic, credential types and the number of lanes to assess.
-
2. Survey the Entrance
Review the entrance dimensions, mounting surface, cable routes and existing equipment. Have the project team check accessible routes and emergency exits before approving the layout.
-
3. Confirm the Quotation
Agree on the turnstile models, lane layout, readers and controllers. Confirm who will handle floor work, power, network connections and integration with existing systems.
-
4. Install, Test and Hand Over
We install the equipment and carry out the agreed checks. Confirm how power loss and any fire alarm release will be tested and what operating guidance is included.
Turnstile Access Control FAQs
How many turnstile lanes do I need?
Lane count depends on peak arrivals and departures, credential check times and available queue space. Share separate estimates for staff and visitors, and identify any lane that needs to serve both directions.
Can I use my existing staff cards with a new turnstile?
Possibly. Compatibility depends on the cards, readers, access controller and how the controller signals the turnstile. Send the existing model numbers and card type so the proposed setup can be checked.
What happens to a turnstile during a power cut?
Behaviour varies by model and configuration. Ask whether the lane releases automatically, stays locked or requires manual release. Confirm the agreed behaviour and which alternative exit route remains available.
Do you install turnstiles outside Nairobi?
Yes. Masterpiece Systems Limited conducts site surveys and installs turnstiles across Kenya. Survey and installation fees may apply depending on the location and scope. We confirm applicable charges before booking.
