Reliable Turnstile Installation & Access Solutions
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.
Turnstile Installation FAQs
As you move into the final planning stages of your project, you may have questions about installation, timelines, and what to expect from your certified installer. Here are the answers to common questions about the turnstile installation process:
1. Do You Handle Turnstile Installation Directly?
No. We coordinate installation through our nationwide network of certified installation partners who act as an extension of Hayward and deliver the same level of quality and professionalism. These installation partners provide you with a “turnkey” quote that covers materials, installation, integration and anything else you may need on your turnstile project. There are distinct advantages to working with local and regional installation partners. These installers often are more affordable (because they are local), more experienced than national-level teams, and are more readily available should you need service in the future.
2. Do You Offer Turnstile Installation in My State?
Yes. We have certified installation partners in every state. Whether you are in a major city or a remote location, we can connect you with a qualified installer near your site.
3. Can the Installers Handle Electrical and Access Control Integration?
Yes. Many of our partners are licensed electricians or low-voltage specialists who can integrate your turnstiles with card readers, cameras, and other access control components for a fully functional system. Simply let us know you want this service included and we will choose the right installer for your needs.
4. Can Hayward Provide Installation for Replacement or Retrofit Projects?
Absolutely. Our installer network regularly handles replacements and retrofits. They can remove existing turnstiles or ADA gates, prepare the site, and install new equipment with minimal disruption to your facility.
5. Do Hayward Installation Partners Provide Preventive Maintenance?
Yes. Many certified Hayward installation partners offer preventive maintenance contracts for your turnstiles and ADA gates that include routine inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and calibration. Regular maintenance ensures consistent operation and helps prevent costly downtime.
6. What if I Am a Turnstile Installer but Am Not a Hayward Partner?
We are always looking to add to our network of installation partners! Simply contact us today to learn more about our Partner Program. Hayward installation partners enjoy partner-only discounts, project referrals, and much more.
7. Can I Get a Turnkey Quote That Includes Both Product and Installation?
Yes. Most of our certified partners can provide a single turnkey quote that includes purchasing, delivery, installation, and system integration so you have one clear price for your entire project.
8. Do You Provide Turnstile Installation for Government or High-Security Sites?
Absolutely. Our installation partners have experience installing turnstiles in airports, military bases, courthouses, data centers, stadiums, and other high-security environments. All work is performed under strict safety and security compliance standards.
9. Do You Provide Free Installation Quotes?
Yes. We provide fast, no-obligation turnkey quotes that consist of supply, installation, and integration. Submit your project details through our online form or give us a call, and we will match you with a certified partner who can provide a full turnkey estimate. Quotes are often sent the same day, so you are never kept waiting long.
10. Can I Use My Own Installer?
Yes. You can use your own installation professional as long as they are experienced in turnstile installation. For optical turnstiles, however, we strongly recommend working with one of our certified partner installers since these systems are far more advanced and sensitive to configuration and alignment.
Keep in mind that Hayward’s warranty only covers workmanship and material defects on the product itself. If an installation is performed improperly or damage occurs as a result of incorrect setup, repair, or replacement, costs will not be covered under warranty and can sometimes be significant. That is why we always recommend working with a Hayward installation partner to ensure turnstiles are installed correctly the first time.
11. How Much Does Turnstile Installation Cost?
Turnstile installation costs vary because every project has unique requirements. Our certified installation partner will provide a detailed quote based on factors such as site preparation complexity, the number of turnstiles being installed, and overall project scope.
12. What Site Requirements Should Be Considered Before a Turnstile Installation?
Before installing a turnstile, several site requirements should be evaluated. Most turnstiles require a level, structurally sound mounting surface, typically concrete. Electrical power and data wiring should be planned in advance and routed to the installation location, usually from below the turnstile, though some full-height turnstiles can be wired from above. The installation should also account for integration with existing fencing, doors, and surrounding structures, as well as applicable fire codes and emergency egress requirements. Finally, consider expected pedestrian traffic to ensure the entrance provides adequate throughput without creating bottlenecks. Hayward helps customers evaluate each of these factors early in the design process, making it easy to select the right solution and avoid costly installation surprises.
13. Can Turnstiles Be Installed in Existing Buildings?
Yes, turnstiles can be installed in existing buildings. A professional installation team can integrate turnstiles into almost any existing lobby or entrance. The process involves a site assessment where a certified installer evaluates several key factors like floor type, location of and access to power and data wires, egress and fire safety requirements, and more to create a plan for a smooth installation with minimal disruption. Hayward even offers above-the-floor baseplates for when you cannot disrupt your floor or run wires from below. This is great for turnstile installations in existing buildings.
14. Who Performs the Turnstile Installation?
The turnstile installation is performed by Hayward Turnstiles’ nationwide network of certified, independent installation partners. Hayward acts as the project coordinator. We connect you with a vetted and trusted local or regional installer who is best suited for your project.
15. Can Turnstiles Be Integrated With My Existing Access Control System During Installation?
Yes, our turnstiles can absolutely be integrated with your existing access control system during installation. Many of our certified partner handles this integration for you. Once installation is complete, your new turnstiles will function as a natural and fully integrated part of your building’s existing security ecosystem.
16. Can Existing Turnstiles Be Replaced With Newer Models?
Yes, existing turnstiles can be replaced with newer models. The process is handled seamlessly by Hayward’s network of certified installation partners. A typical replacement project includes safe removal, site preparation, installation, and integration with your current access control system.
