Steel Barriers are primarily used in outside crowd control as they can handle large crowds and rough weather conditions well.

When wanting move crowds faster through an event entrance, our turnstiles and metal detectors make this so much easier.

Turnstiles and Metal Detectors

Turnstiles and metal detectors play a large role in crowd control especially at the entrance. For a patron, passing through a turnstile and metal detector is a milestone. It is the transition point from being outside the site to being on the inside. They separate those at the event from those not at the event. From stadiums to arenas and schools, metal detectors will make your visitors feel safer.

  • Waist High Turnstiles
  • Full Height Turnstiles
  • Walk-Through Metal Detectors
  • Handheld Metal Detectors


Turnstiles are used at many sites for the dual purposes of attendance accuracy and crowd control. If you need to verify the accuracy of your attendance information or provide an orderly method of ticketed entry to your site, turnstiles give you accurate information and increase safety at your site. Walk through metal detectors are faster and more accurate than the handheld models to quickly move your customers through the perimeter security and into your event.
