Turnstar offers a pay-for-entry solution which has proven to be very popular with shopping centre and filling station management. Public bathrooms are often open to vandalism and theft. The owner of the facility would then have to foot the bill for the repairs and running costs. The average patron would have a dirty bathroom.
The solution is the Triumph 4 full-height, single turnstile fitted with a Turnstar coin acceptor. The coin acceptor enables management to charge for entry into the bathrooms and the price can be set to any amount. The turnstile is also fitted with a rotation counter which counts the number of entries into the bathroom. The counter enables management to carry out a financial audit and to check if employees are stealing the money collected.
The turnstile acts as a psychological barrier to any vagrants who might be around and prevents free access. The bathrooms become more secure and become an income-generating asset. The money collected can then be used to stock up the bathrooms and to keep them clean – often a full time cleaning attendant can be employed.
Customers have been able to earn a good income from the turnstiles and most patrons are more than happy to pay a small price for clean bathrooms. It may be impossible to stop vandals, but if a vandal enters your bathroom and does some damage, at least you got R2 from him.
