Comparing Full Height Turnstiles: Terra Diamond SR2 vs Other UAE Options
The Terra Diamond is one of the strongest full height turnstiles available in the UAE. Certified to LPS 1175 SR2 standards, it resists sustained attack and supports high-security system setups. As a trusted turnstile supplier in the UAE, we deliver unmatched access control for critical sites across the Middle East.
Why Compare Full Height Turnstiles?
Not all full height turnstiles are built for the same threat level. Some restrict access. Others hold the line.
When security is non-negotiable, performance matters.
We’re often asked: “Is the Terra Diamond really the strongest option in the UAE?”
Let’s break it down by comparing materials, certifications, performance, and technical reliability.
What Sets the Terra Diamond Apart?
We manufacture the Terra Diamond full height turnstile to meet the LPS 1175 SR2 rating—one of the most respected intrusion standards in the security industry.
This means the product withstands attacks using sophisticated tools such as bolt cutters, drills, and saws for a defined duration.
Fact #1:
LPS 1175 SR2 certifies that the Terra Diamond can resist a determined attacker using category B tools for at least 3 minutes under test conditions.
Fact #2:
As of this writing, we are the only Middle East Turnstile supplier with an SR2-rated full height turnstile tested and certified under LPS 1175: Issue 8.

We check all the boxes.
Questions Infrastructure Managers Are Asking
Is an LPS 1175-certified turnstile overkill for a commercial facility?
Not if you’re protecting critical infrastructure. For facilities requiring uninterrupted service, data security, or 24/7 personnel access, an SR2-certified system gives a measurable return on reduced risk.
Can the Terra Diamond be installed in outdoor environments?
Absolutely. The finish is built to withstand UAE heat, dust, and humidity, with minimal degradation over time. We’ve deployed systems in locations ranging from coastal zones to interior deserts.
What access systems can it integrate with?
The Terra Diamond integrates with:
- RFID and biometric readers
- Smart card and PIN panels
- CCTV and VMS platforms
- Fire alarm override and emergency response triggers
No extra conversion boxes required.
What Makes a Turnstile Strong in Real Terms?
Let’s keep it real.
Most turnstiles on the market can stop a polite person.
But not a prepared intruder.
Strength in this context means:
- Resistance to forced entry
- Low maintenance failure rate
- Minimal false positives or jams
- Proven under certification, not theory
Where We’ve Installed the Terra Diamond
Due to the nature of our clients, we don’t disclose exact names publicly—but here’s a general list:
- Major oil & gas installations in Abu Dhabi
- Power grid substations in the Northern Emirates

- Private defense contractor facilities across the GCC
Final Thoughts: Strong Isn’t Always Loud—Sometimes, It’s Certified
Anyone can claim their turnstile is strong.
But real strength is tested. Certified. Documented.
And most importantly—trusted in the field.
We don’t deal in hypotheticals. We deliver solutions backed by performance data, engineering precision, and field validation. That’s what makes the Terra Diamond the strongest option for many of our clients across the UAE and the Middle East.
