St. Albert
Turnstiles & pedestrian gates for St. Albert homes and businesses
St. Albert is a city on Edmonton's northwest edge along the Sturgeon River.
Access control on a door lets one credential open it, but anyone can follow the person in front of them. Turnstiles fix that by letting one person through per credential, which is why they're used in office lobbies, industrial sites, stadiums, transit and secure facilities.
We help you choose the right type for the space and the traffic, install it with its readers and wiring, and plan an accessible gate beside it for wheelchairs, strollers and deliveries. Turnstiles also have to be planned so they don't block a required exit, so we work with your designer on the layout.
Local conditions
Built for Edmonton region weather
Long, cold winters with stretches well below minus thirty put exterior doors under real strain. Frost and ice form where seals are worn, and closers and operators slow down in the cold.
Outdoor full-height turnstiles have to keep turning at minus thirty. We choose cold-rated units for exterior entrances and indoor optical gates for lobbies.
Common calls in St. Albert
- People tailgate through secured doors
- You need to know exactly who is on site
- A lobby needs a secure but welcoming entrance

Turnstiles & pedestrian gates in St. Albert: questions
Do turnstiles meet accessibility requirements?
Turnstiles themselves usually aren't accessible, so an accessible wide-lane gate or door is installed beside them. We plan that into the layout from the start.
What happens in a fire alarm?
Turnstiles can be connected to the fire alarm so they release for free exit, and the layout has to keep required exits clear. We confirm the details with your designer and the local authority.
Can turnstiles use our existing access cards?
Usually, yes. Turnstiles take standard readers, so they can use the same cards, fobs or mobile credentials as your doors.
Do you work in St. Albert?
Yes. We work in St. Albert and nearby communities including Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove and Stony Plain, and across Alberta. Send us the address with your request and we'll confirm scheduling.
