Tripod, flap or swing barrier?
- Tripod turnstiles: the most affordable and robust; common at factories, schools, gyms and offices.
- Flap barriers: faster throughput and a more modern look for office lobbies and banks.
- Swing barriers: wider lanes for wheelchairs, trolleys and luggage, often installed beside tripods or flaps.
Each type can open with an RFID card, fingerprint, face recognition or QR code, and can log every entry for attendance. See access control systems.

Installation
Prices above are for the equipment only. If you want it installed, Qyvea does a free site survey in Nairobi and gives an itemised quote covering cabling, mounting, configuration and labour, so you know the full cost before any work starts.
Turnstiles need a level concrete base, power and a data cable to each lane, so the site survey checks the floor and cable routes before anything is ordered.
Frequently asked questions

Complete turnstiles and pedestrian barriers in the Qyvea store cost KES 171,000 to KES 279,830 today. Installation is quoted after a free site survey.
Can a turnstile take employee attendance?
Yes. With a fingerprint, card or face reader connected to attendance software, every pass through the turnstile is logged.
What happens to a turnstile during a power cut or fire?
Turnstiles are set to free passage when power fails or a fire alarm signal is received, so people can leave safely. A UPS keeps them running through short outages.
Which is better, tripod or flap barrier?
Tripods cost less and suit industrial sites; flap barriers move people faster and suit offices. Many sites combine one with a swing barrier for accessibility.
