What to Know
Government Security FAQs
Quick answers to the questions government facility teams ask most about entrance control:
What entrance control do government buildings use?
Many use glass-barrier optical turnstiles at the lobby, with tall barriers where visible deterrence matters. The Fastlane Glassgate 400 is built for that kind of high-security entrance. Door Detective® adds tailgate detection to interior doors that already have card readers.
Can turnstiles tell you who is in the building during an evacuation?
Yes. Fastlane turnstiles keep a live population count, so you know how many people are inside without waiting on a headcount at the muster point. Connected to your access control system, that count becomes a list of who entered and when.
Are Fastlane turnstiles ADA compliant?
Fastlane offers ADA-compliant wider lanes. Wider Fastlane lanes include Sidegate Detection®, which catches two people trying to pass side by side through one lane.
What credentials do government turnstiles accept?
Fastlane turnstiles work with smart cards, mobile credentials, QR codes, and biometric readers, through standard protocols including OSDP, the encrypted modern standard.
