Securing a luxurious residential estate

Issue 6 2023 Residential Estate (Industry), Access Control & Identity Management

Turnstar Systems recently partnered with Balwin Munyaka Residential Estate to secure the entrance to its crystal lagoon. The estate installed four 4-arm Triton half-height glass turnstiles and two Pulse automatic special needs gates for wheelchair access. This ensures that only authorised residents and guests can access the crystal lagoon, providing solid deterrence against unauthorised visitors.

Turnstar CEO Craig Sacks says, “Our turnstiles and gates are ideal for securing access control of leisure facilities, and the Triton glass turnstiles are ideal for stylish entry as well as for providing a clear view of the site.”

The turnstiles were integrated with the estate’s access control system to allow remote monitoring and control by security personnel. Furthermore, they also provide convenient access for those who may not be able to use them through the Pulse automatic special needs gates, which are operated with a remote control.

Balwin Munyaka Residential Estate is committed to providing its residents with a safe and secure living environment through technology provided by Turnstar Systems. With this partnership in place, residents can now enjoy their days at the Crystal Lagoon without any worries or concerns about unauthorised visitors entering the area.
