FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the GB-3 Optical Turnstile?
The GB-3 is Turnstile Security's slim-profile swing barrier optical turnstile. Its narrower cabinet design makes it ideal for installations where space is limited, while still delivering the full optical sensor suite, motorized panels, and bi-directional control of the GB-1.
How does the GB-3 differ from the GB-1?
The GB-3 features a slimmer cabinet profile than the GB-1, reducing the footprint of each lane. It also includes end and middle cabinet reference lights for improved pedestrian guidance. Both models share the same optical sensor technology, motor system, and panel options.
What passage widths are available?
The GB-3 is available in passage widths from 25" (650mm) to 36" (915mm), with single-lane and two-lane configurations documented in the download section above.
Can the GB-3 detect tailgating?
Yes. The advanced optical sensor array detects the exact position of each user and identifies tailgating attempts in real time. An audio and visual alarm is triggered when an unauthorized passage attempt is detected.
What panel materials are available?
Swing panels are available in tempered glass, organic glass, and polycarbonate. All panel options can be colour customized, and glass etching is available upon request for branded or architectural installations.
