ZKTeco (ZK SBTL5211) Central module of ZKTeco SBTL5211 swing turnstile with RFID readers (with shutters)

The ZKTeco SBTL5211 is a specialized, dual-wing central module swing barrier turnstile engineered exclusively for expansion into multi-lane configurations. Designed to work seamlessly alongside a master unit (such as the SBTL5000 series), this central cabinet acts as an interior divider, providing a double-sided motorized gate mechanism to control pedestrian movement between adjacent paths. This turn-key “5211” variant comes factory-integrated with two secure RFID card readers (complete with built-in protective shutters/covers) and an embedded ZKTeco C3-200 network access controller, eliminating complex field wiring. Housed in a premium, heavy-duty SUS304 stainless steel casing with elegant tempered glass barriers, the module operates in a “normally locked” position and opens instantly upon valid card verification. It is the perfect infrastructure component for scaling pedestrian check-points in upscale corporate lobbies, high-security data centers, and busy government buildings.

Key Features
