Alvarado Security Turnstiles and Modern Control Solutions
Alvarado has manufactured US-made physical security entry systems, including optical, full-height, and waist-high turnstiles, as well as security gates, since 1956. Now part of the dormakaba Group, Alvarado combines precision-crafted hardware with GateKeeper monitoring software and GateLink10 control platforms. Their optical turnstiles feature motorized barriers with advanced sensor technology that detect unauthorized entries and tailgating attempts. Full-height turnstiles provide maximum security perimeter control with HydraLine speed adjustment technology. Integration capabilities include RFID readers, biometric systems, control platforms, visitor management systems, fire safety connections, and elevator dispatch technology for facility security management across corporate, government, healthcare, and entertainment environments.

Real-time detection prevents security breaches while audit capabilities support compliance requirements. Automated control reduces staffing costs and improves operational security throughout facilities.
