Touchless Turnstiles and ADA (Handicap Accessible) Gates

Ready to Integrate

All Hayward turnstiles and ADA gates are software agnostic, meaning they integrate with virtually all access control systems, card readers, proximity scanners, and more. The integration opportunities are endless.

Touchless Turnstiles for a Frictionless Future

Today’s facilities demand more than just secured entrances—they need smart, seamless, and hygienic access experiences. That’s why Hayward offers a full line of touchless turnstiles that offer a hands-free entrance experience. Our touchless turnstiles and gates eliminate the need for physical contact, creating a smoother, cleaner entry experience for employees, visitors, and contractors. By removing high-touch surfaces and manual check-in processes, you reduce potential germ transmission while boosting both hygiene and user comfort—especially in high-traffic environments.

But the benefits go far beyond health. Touchless entry enhances the perception of your facility, signaling innovation, professionalism, and attention to detail. It also keeps people moving—minimizing bottlenecks and improving traffic flow at key checkpoints like lobbies, employee entrances, and security vestibules. In a world of continual modernization and automation, your turnstile entrance solution should be both sophisticated and easy to use:  something that can only be achieved with a hands-free, touchless turnstile.

From tech campuses to corporate headquarters, organizations are increasingly pairing turnstiles with biometric access, mobile credentials, and automated temperature screening to create intelligent entry systems that align with modern workplace expectations. Hayward’s full line of turnstiles and ADA gates supports these integrations right out of the box. Whether you’re designing for high-security compliance, operational efficiency, or premium user experience, we offer contactless solutions that match your budget, your environment, and your vision for the future.

What is a Touchless Turnstile?

A touchless turnstile is a modern access solution—whether a waist-high optical turnstile or an ADA-compliant swing gate—that allows users to pass through without any physical contact. These systems use technologies like optical beam detection, motorized barrier movement, and integrated access control software to fully automate the entry process.

Instead of pushing or rotating a barrier manually, users authenticate using contactless credentials—such as proximity cards, mobile phones, or biometric scans—and the turnstile responds by opening automatically. The result? A seamless, frictionless entry experience that feels clean, fast, and remarkably intuitive.

At Hayward Turnstiles, every touchless model we offer is built for easy integration with advanced tools like facial recognition, mobile access, temperature scanning, QR readers, and more—future-ready from the moment it ships.

Benefits of Touchless Turnstiles and Contactless Entrances

  1. Helps reduce virus spread at the door: Implementing touchless turnstiles at your entryway helps to prevent cross-contamination at your facility’s highest trafficked areas by eliminating the need to touch anything upon entry.
  2. Improves entrance security: Contactless turnstiles and gates provide the hands-free functionality you require to help reduce cross-contamination without compromising entrance security. These units detect passage with optical beams and prevent passage with lane barriers made of glass, metal, and other comparable materials.
  3. Helps increase throughput efficiency: No-touch turnstiles are great for reducing pathogen spread, but they are also very efficient. These turnstiles and gates increase the rate at which users can enter or exit your facility, preventing traffic buildups, confusion, and ultimately an inefficient entryway.
  4. Helps Ensure Future Success: As more and more products become interconnected through technological advancements, you can rest assured that your contactless entrance solution will integrate seamlessly with most new software and access control systems.

Characteristics of a Touchless Turnstile Entrance System

  1. Automatic Barrier Movement: Touchless turnstiles contain motors that automatically move barriers out of the way to grant access without an entrant having to use their hands or body to push through. For a turnstile to be contactless, it must be able to function without any physical user input. Barriers must automatically open and close without any pushing or grabbing from the user.
  2. Contactless Credential Checking: Even if a turnstile or ADA gate is completely contactless by design, it should be integrated with a no-touch credential checking system to truly provide a hands-free entry experience. Some of these systems include iris scanners, facial recognition software, temperature sensors, and proximity scanners.

A Shift in the Access Control Landscape

For as long as the entrance security industry has been around, access control turnstiles and ADA gates were primarily focused on controlling who is allowed access to your facility. But ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, the access control industry is extending its focus to what is allowed into or out of your facility, with the what being pathogens, germs, and other microscopic threats. Now more than ever, access control is a vital aspect of a company’s safety against unauthorized entrants: macroscopic and microscopic alike.

Naturally, with changing emphasis comes changing products. We are starting to see more and more product innovations in the industry based on the idea of the touchless turnstile. The touchless turnstile is key for creating fully contactless entryways that do not compromise security for hands-free operation. Innovative new products like temperature sensors, facial recognition systems, and integrated hand sanitizer units integrate seamlessly with contactless turnstiles and ADA gates to create full hands-free entry solutions.

Every Hayward Turnstiles touchless turnstile you see offered on this page comes ready to easily integrate with most access control systems. They can be set up to directly communicate with credential checking hardware and software to further automate your entry process and check credentials with a reduced risk of cross-contamination.
