What the FBL520 is: A Dual-Lane Compact Optical Flap Barrier Built for Streamlined Lobby Access Control
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. The final cost depends on lanes, readers, controllers, power supply, installation, and project scope. Contact DigiMark Solution for a quotation.
Yes. It can integrate with face recognition terminals, but throughput depends on the authentication method and the connected device.
The optional capacitor board allows the barriers to retract automatically during a power failure, helping maintain emergency access.
Allow sufficient space for the turnstile, user passage, and installation. Confirm the required footprint with the project layout before ordering.
Yes. DigiMark Solution can support site surveys, lane planning, floor fixing, cabling, commissioning, system integration, and staff training.
