What the FBL500 is: A Compact Optical Flap Barrier Engineered for Modern Office Entrances
A flap barrier moves more people per minute than any other entrance type ZKTeco publishes figures for — 42 with RFID cards against a tripod's 30 — and the retracting flaps disappear into the pedestal when open, which is why they suit a lobby.
They are also four times the weight of a tripod and need considerably more floor space. The footprint on the FBL2000 series is 1200 by 1150 millimetres per lane.
Key features
42 per minute with RFID — the highest in the ZKTeco pedestrian range — And 35 with fingerprint, 23 with vein, 11 with face recognition. That last figure is the one that ruins projects: a lane rated at 42 behind a face terminal runs at 11.
Barriers retract upward, and the capacitor board makes that automatic — On power loss, the flaps pull back into the pedestal. Order the optional capacitor board. Without it, a power cut can leave the lane shut with people on the secure side.
1200 by 1150 millimetres of floor per lane — The published footprint on the FBL2000 series, at 119 kg net. Worth checking against a lobby drawing before the order, because retrofitting a flap barrier into a space designed for a tripod does not work.
LCD on the control board — Status and fault codes are readable at the unit rather than requiring a laptop, which is the difference between a ten-minute service call and an afternoon.
Sizing the entrance
Count peak-hour arrivals. Not daily headcount. A factory of 3,000 arrives across twenty minutes.
Check the credential, not just the lane. The reader is almost always the bottleneck.
Include one wide lane. Wheelchairs, trolleys, and beds do not pass a standard aperture.

Complete Installation
What else you need for a working Kit
A single device is only part of a complete security or automation setup. Most projects need matching accessories, software and power components, chosen according to your site and requirements. You can start with a basic use case and upgrade later by adding the recommended supporting devices.
Price on request — quoted per lane (turnstile, reader, controller, power, fixing, commissioning), dropping as lane count rises. Send entrance width and peak-hour footfall for a same-day quote. WhatsApp +880 1979-234342.
Not directly — the FBL5000 Pro's datasheet lists RFID only, up to 30/min. For face-recognition entry, pair a separate face terminal and confirm its own throughput before sizing the lane against it.
An optional module that auto-retracts the barriers on mains power loss. Specify it — without it, a power cut can trap people behind closed flaps. In Bangladesh, that's a "when," not an "if."
The FBL5000 Pro's footprint is 1200 × 1200 mm (unit: 1200 × 300 × 1010 mm, 126 kg net). Check against your lobby drawing before ordering — footprints vary by model.
Yes — survey, lane sizing by peak-hour footfall, installation, and software integration. Get lane count right the first time; it's the one thing no equipment change can fix later.
