Selection guide
Start from the lobby workflow, not from the device name
Office projects often fail when the buyer asks for a device before defining how employees, visitors, contractors and VIP guests should move through the entrance. A better path is to describe the entrance workflow first, then match the gate type.
- Use speed gates when visual quality and fast employee throughput are both important.
- Use swing barrier gates when wider clearance, accessible passage or visitor flexibility is central.
- Use flap barriers for compact indoor lanes where space is tight and user behavior is controlled.
- Plan a separate process for deliveries, emergency access and temporary visitors.
Match the access credential to the user group
The gate is only one layer. The credential method determines user experience, privacy review and integration workload. Bosiny pages should therefore ask for credential expectations before model-level recommendation.
- RFID cards remain simple for employees and tenant users.
- QR codes are useful for visitors, temporary passes and appointment workflows.
- Face recognition needs explicit privacy, consent and local legal review.
- Hybrid credentials are common when a building has employees, visitors and service providers.
Keep public claims conservative until project details are known
This guide intentionally avoids fixed speed, lifespan, certificate and compatibility promises. Those claims should be filled only after public parameters, certificate applicability and integration requirements are approved.
- Do not publish price, internal material code, supplier note or unverified certificate number.
- Do not promise a third-party system integration before interface review.
- Do not use customer names or lobby photos without written permission.
- Use a project checklist to move qualified buyers to the Contact page.

Public-safe buyer questions
Which turnstile type is best for an office lobby?
Speed gates are common for premium lobbies, swing barriers are better for accessible or wider lanes, and flap barriers work for compact controlled indoor entrances. The right choice depends on lane width, traffic flow, credential method and interior design.
Can face recognition be used with office turnstiles?
Yes, but it should be reviewed as a privacy-sensitive authentication method. Consent, data retention, local regulation and fallback credentials should be confirmed before public claims or final design.
What should I prepare before asking Bosiny for a proposal?
Prepare entrance photos or drawings if available, lane count, passage width, expected traffic, credential method, emergency-opening requirements and integration expectations. Do not send confidential project files through an unconfirmed form.
