Entrance control for stadiums, arenas and event venues — where a season's worth of traffic arrives in half an hour, and the licence depends on knowing exactly how many came through.
Nowhere else does the entrance carry a licence condition, a revenue line and a crowd safety plan at the same time.
Ninety per cent of admission happens in the last forty minutes before the event starts. Capacity at the gate is not an average across the evening; it is a peak that either clears or spills back into the street.
A screenshot forwarded twice costs nothing to produce. If the code is only checked when it is sold, the venue discovers the duplicate at the turnstile, in front of a queue, with a supporter who paid someone in good faith.
Segregation is a safety requirement, not a seating preference. A ticket that opens any gate rather than the correct one moves the problem from the entrance to the stand, where it is far more expensive to solve.
Licensed capacity is counted per sector, not per venue. Without a live figure at each bank of lanes, admission control becomes a stewards' estimate defended after the fact.
Perimeter equipment stands through winter, gets leaned on by crowds and is unsupervised for most of the week. Hardware chosen for a lobby does not last a season on a plaza.
A venue admits over forty minutes and evacuates in eight. Every barrier that took an hour to meter people in has to disappear entirely, at once, under crowd pressure.
Published throughput is 35 persons per minute per lane, as published by the manufacturer in September 2025. That figure scales linearly, so a ten-lane bank clears roughly 350 people a minute and a doors-open window becomes a calculation rather than a hope.
A tripod meters mechanically: one authorisation indexes the rotor by 120 degrees and admits exactly one person. Under crowd pressure that is a more reliable guarantee than a sensor.
The lane carries a dedicated ticketing controller that accepts a dated single-entry code once and refuses it on every later presentation. A forwarded screenshot opens nothing.
Scanning is published at 0.1 seconds per read from a screen or from paper, and the scanner is a waterproof design — both as published by the manufacturer in September 2025. Paper still matters at a venue, and always will.
Full height turnstiles are 2300 mm tall with a 650 mm compartment and 90 or 120 degree rotation, in 304 stainless or metal with colour paint. There is no gap above or below the rotor to exploit on a quiet Tuesday.
Tripod variants rated by the manufacturer for indoor and outdoor duty hold the concourse line, in painted cold-rolled or electroplated steel.
On power loss or an alarm the tripod arm drops to vertical and the full height rotor is released to turn freely in the exit direction. Nothing remains at waist height and nothing has to be unlocked by hand.
This is what EN 17352 requires of motorised pedestrian barriers on escape routes, and a venue is where that requirement is examined most closely. Declarations and test documents are supplied for the safety certificate file.
A venue has to prove what it admitted, not describe it. On a turnkey delivery Keyable Europe configures, commissions and supports the layer that produces that record.
Chosen for what a venue actually runs: bulk admission on the concourse, an unattended perimeter, and a hospitality entrance that should not look like a turnstile.
Mechanical single-file admission at volume, in thirteen variants and rated for outdoor duty.
2300 mm of rotor inside a rigid frame, single or double lane, for a boundary nobody is watching.
For boxes, press entrances and members' areas, where the guest paid for an experience rather than a queue.
All technical figures on this page are as published by the manufacturer in the September 2025 specification. Where a value is not published, it is omitted rather than estimated.
A municipal stadium admitting across two concourse banks and an unstaffed perimeter: twelve tripod lanes with ticket validation at each gate, sector-specific entitlement so a ticket opens the correct bank only, and a live count held per sector against the licensed capacity.
Two full height turnstiles hold the perimeter between event days, and a pair of speed gates serve the hospitality entrance where a queue would be the wrong first impression.
Every model in the range is available either as a supply-only order or as a complete installation. The choice is commercial, not technical — the hardware is identical.
You already have an integrator, an access platform and a programme. We deliver the equipment and the paperwork, and stay out of the way.
One point of responsibility from the site survey to the fifth year of service. You approve a design and take delivery of a working entrance.
Both models cover the full range: speed gates, swing, flap and sliding barriers, tripod and full height turnstiles. Scope, response times and warranty terms are set per project and confirmed in the quotation.
Tripod turnstiles for bulk entry on the concourse and full height turnstiles on the unstaffed perimeter. Both admit one person per authorisation mechanically rather than by sensor, which is what a ticketed venue needs when several thousand people arrive inside half an hour.
35 persons per minute per lane, as published by the manufacturer in September 2025. A ten-lane bank therefore clears roughly 350 people a minute, which is the figure to plan a doors-open window against.
The ticket is validated at the lane itself, not only at the point of sale. A dated single-entry code is accepted once and refused on every subsequent presentation, so a screenshot passed to a second person does not open a second turnstile.
Yes. Every barrier is bi-directional, so entries and exits are recorded per lane and grouped per sector. That gives a live figure against a licensed capacity rather than an estimate taken at the end of admission.
The rotor is released to turn freely in the exit direction and tripod arms drop clear, leaving the lane unobstructed. EN 17352 requires motorised pedestrian barriers on escape routes to leave the way out clear, and a venue is the setting where that requirement is examined most closely.
