Flap Barrier

Flap Barrier

A flap barrier is a type of security gate that is commonly used in buildings, airports, train stations, and other high-security areas to control access. It consists of two or more metal barriers that are mounted on a pivot and swing in a vertical plane to allow or block access. The barriers are usually made of stainless steel or other sturdy materials, and they are designed to be tamper-proof and resistant to damage.

Flap barriers are typically operated by an access control system that can be activated by a keycard, RFID reader, fingerprint scanner, or other forms of biometric identification. The access control system reads the credentials of the person requesting entry and then sends a signal to the flap barrier to allow or deny access. When access is granted, the barriers swing open to allow the person to pass through. When access is denied, the barriers remain closed, preventing unauthorized entry.

Flap barriers are highly effective at controlling access to restricted areas and preventing unauthorized entry. They are also useful for managing the flow of people in high-traffic areas, as they can be programmed to allow only one person through at a time. Additionally, flap barriers can be configured to provide real-time data on the number of people passing through them, which can be used for security and management purposes.
