Looking for reliable turnstile installation or a complete turnkey access control solution?
You’re in the right place. At Hayward Turnstiles, we make it easy to get both your equipment and your installation handled through one trusted source. We specialize in manufacturing high-performance turnstiles and security gates, and we also connect you directly with one of our vetted, certified nationwide partners to handle the installation side.
Rather than sending our own crews from Connecticut to sites across the country, we coordinate with experienced local installers who are closer to your project, familiar with local building codes, and are more affordable than flying in outside teams. This approach removes unnecessary travel costs and layers of markup, keeping your total project cost lower. It also supports local and regional American businesses while ensuring that you still receive the same high standard of workmanship and support Hayward is known for.
In short, we do what we do best (build world-class turnstiles) and let our trained partners do what they do best: install them right the first time. Together, that creates a seamless turnkey experience with one point of accountability from quote to completion.

So Why Doesn’t Hayward Handle Installation In-House?
It’s a question we get often, and the reasoning is simple: quality, cost, and expertise.
We are experts in manufacturing; our partners are experts in installation. Trying to be the best at both usually leads to compromises somewhere, and that is not how we operate. By letting each team focus on what they do best, you get the highest standard of performance across the board.
It is also more cost-effective. Local and regional installers eliminate cross-country travel and reduce overhead, keeping your project within budget without hidden markups. We work directly with regional professionals who know your area, your codes, and your job site. In short, nobody understands your local installation needs like a local installer.
Finally, this approach supports local and regional organizations. Every time we pass a project to one of our trusted partners, we help strengthen other American businesses while keeping our focus where it belongs: on crafting the most reliable, secure turnstiles in the industry.
Understanding Turnstile Installation
A proper turnstile installation is about much more than anchoring a product to the floor. It is a coordinated process that ensures your access control system operates seamlessly, safely, and reliably for years to come.
Site Prep
The process typically begins with site assessment and preparation, where certified Hayward Turnstiles installation partners evaluate layout, flooring, conduit routes, and entry flow. They verify power availability, confirm clearances, and prepare a stable foundation for secure mounting.
Assembly
Once all site conditions are verified, physical installation and assembly begin. Installers draw from their experience and detailed Hayward installation manuals to carefully mount and assemble the turnstile equipment in its exact location, ensuring alignment and durability.
Testing
With the system fully assembled, testing and calibration take place. Each turnstile’s motors, sensors, and locking mechanisms are fine-tuned to guarantee smooth and secure operation. Installers then perform performance testing under real-world conditions to confirm that your turnstile functions as it was designed to from the factory.
Systems Integration
In many cases, our partner installers also provide systems integration services, connecting your turnstiles to your broader security infrastructure. That can include linking access control devices, cameras, card readers, keypads, and life safety systems into one harmonious, intelligent access network. Proper termination, data routing, and system testing are crucial at this stage to ensure that all components work together as intended.
Post-Installation
After installation and integration are complete, post-installation verification ensures the site is clean, the system performs as designed, and your staff understands daily operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance intervals. Many of our certified partner installers also offer Preventive Maintenance programs to safeguard your investment and extend the lifespan of your system.
A well-executed installation protects your investment, reduces downtime, and ensures compliance with security and accessibility requirements. When performed correctly, it also extends product life and preserves your manufacturer warranty; all key reasons why choosing the right installation team is just as important as choosing the right turnstile.
