2.02 CONSTRUCTION
A. The operating mechanism consists of a hardened locking assembly and interchangeable
precision fabricated parts using high quality steel materials.
B. The ratchet is made of machined high quality steel, not soft cast iron or several thin, laminated
ratchets as other manufacturers.
C. Self-cleaning, sealed, maintenance free main bearing supports shaft and ratchet assembly.
D. The operating mechanism contains all electrical components, including low voltage 24 VDC
power supply, 110 or 220 VAC step down transformers, reset system and access control
interface.
E. The cabinet has rounded edges and a sloped cover in order to prevent injuries. There are no
exposed fasteners.
F. Hinged cover is equipped with security cam lock to prevent tampering.
G. All materials meet the ASTM standards as set forth by the materials industry.
2.03 EQUIPMENT
A. The operating mechanism consists of precision machined, interchangeable parts made out of
high quality steel materials. No cast iron parts are used due to softness and excessive wear
characteristics. All locking components are hardened to ensure long life and reliable service.
Self-centering mechanism automatically returns arms to the basic position regardless of force
used to pass through the turnstile. The rotation of the mechanism is cushioned by an aircraft
quality hydraulic shock absorber.
B. The modular mechanism design mounts to a 3/8” thick steel plate, allowing rapid maintenance.
C. The cabinet is constructed from 14 and 16 gauge carbon steel or #304 stainless steel (Trilock-
60ES) with a stainless steel top cover.
D. The hub is made from machined aluminum, 5” in diameter, with openings for three arms 120
degrees apart. The hub is clear anodized to protect against oxidation and discoloring.
E. Arms are fabricated from 1-1/4” dia., 16 gauge stainless steel tubing, type 304. Ends are spun
closed, ground and polished smooth. No plastic caps are used.
F. The Trilock-60 is a one-way electrically controlled turnstile designed for access or admissions
control applications. The opposite direction may be free or locked. The powder coated carbon or
stainless steel cabinet and heavy duty Transit type operating allow interior or exterior use in the
most rugged environmental and operating conditions. #304 stainless steel cabinet is also
available
G. The Trilock-60 consists of an operating mechanism, cabinet, hub and arm assembly.
H. Overall cabinet dimensions are 38” high, 7” wide, 27” long.
I. Operation:
A. Mechanical: Unit is free to rotate in entry, exit or both directions.
1. Mechanical registers (counters) available for one or both directions for travel.
B. Electrical: The locking and unlocking of the turnstile is accomplished by use of a low
voltage, 24 VDC, system. Activation is via a momentary, isolated normally open dry
contact closure.
C. Electric controls are available in one or both directions. Controls may be fail-safe or fail-
lock in any controlled direction. Free or no exit is available for the opposite direction.
D. Units may have free rotating or always locked configuration on opposite direction on one-
way electrically controlled units. Once a direction of passage is opened, it will remain open
until the user proceeds through to the other side of the turnstile and the reset system
automatically re-locks the turnstile and readies it for the next user. The system will stay
open until the user proceeds through unless an optional time-out relay is used.
2.04 FINISHES
A. All fabricated components of the operating mechanism are yellow zinc plated to ensure long life
and prevent oxidation and discoloring.
B. All stainless steel items are polished to a 304 #4B finish.
C. The cabinet is painted with durable, baked on black textured powder coating, not a fragile, air
dried enamel.
D. Custom powder coat color of choice.
