Product SKU: Hikvision DS-KAB-601COVER
Product Overview
The Hikvision DS-KAB-601COVER Turnstile Face Recognition Install Hole Cover is a dedicated cover plate designed for PG type Hikvision speed gates and turnstiles where the face recognition installation hole is not being used. Made from SUS304 stainless steel, it provides a neat and durable way to close an unused reader or face terminal opening on compatible turnstile top covers. The compact 115 × 115 × 18mm size makes it suitable for clean finishing on compatible access control lanes, helping installers avoid leaving exposed or unfinished installation holes. This cover is best suited to turnstile projects where the lane configuration does not require a face recognition terminal, but the equipment still needs to look complete and professionally finished.
Key Capabilities
Covers Unused Face Install Holes
The DS-KAB-601COVER is designed for situations where a PG type turnstile has a face recognition installation opening that is not required for the final access control layout.
SUS304 Stainless Steel Build
SUS304 stainless steel gives the cover a stronger and more professional finish than a basic plastic blanking plate, making it suitable for visible access control installations.
Clean Turnstile Appearance
A proper hole cover helps keep the turnstile top cover looking finished, which is important for lobbies, offices, transport entries and commercial front-of-house spaces.
Compact 115mm Cover Format
The 115 × 115 × 18mm size is made for the relevant Hikvision turnstile face installation hole, giving installers a purpose-matched cover instead of a makeshift blanking solution.
Best For
- PG Type Turnstiles: Designed for compatible PG type Hikvision speed gates and turnstiles where the face recognition installation hole needs to be covered.
- Lobby Access Control Projects: Suitable for reception areas and commercial lobbies where unused turnstile openings need a clean finish.
- Turnstile Configuration Changes: Useful when a lane is supplied with an installation hole but the final design does not require a face terminal at that position.
- Professional Fit-Outs: Helps avoid exposed holes or unfinished turnstile tops in customer-facing access control environments.
Why Choose the DS-KAB-601COVER
The DS-KAB-601COVER is a small accessory, but it matters when the finished turnstile installation needs to look clean and intentional. In many access control projects, not every lane requires a face recognition terminal, and leaving the unused opening exposed can make the installation look incomplete. This cover gives installers a purpose-made stainless steel blanking solution for compatible Hikvision PG type turnstiles. For turnstile projects supplied through Security Wholesalers, it is best selected during the planning stage so the correct reader, terminal or cover option is matched to each lane before installation.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Choose this cover when a compatible PG type Hikvision turnstile has a face recognition installation hole that will not be used. If you plan to install a face terminal, QR reader or fingerprint module, confirm the correct bracket or module accessory instead.
Compatibility Tip: Confirm the exact turnstile model and top-cover layout before ordering. This cover is for the unused installation hole, not a universal bracket for mounting all reader types.

FAQs
- What is the Hikvision DS-KAB-601COVER used for?
The DS-KAB-601COVER is used to cover an unused face recognition installation hole on compatible PG type Hikvision turnstiles. It is intended for projects where the turnstile top has an opening for a face terminal, but the final lane configuration does not require that device. - What material is the DS-KAB-601COVER made from?
The DS-KAB-601COVER is made from SUS304 stainless steel. This gives the cover a durable and professional finish, making it suitable for visible access control installations such as office lobbies, commercial entries and building reception areas. - What are the dimensions of the DS-KAB-601COVER?
The DS-KAB-601COVER measures 115 × 115 × 18mm. This size is designed to suit the relevant Hikvision turnstile installation hole, so buyers should confirm the exact turnstile model and top-cover configuration before ordering. - Does this cover install a face recognition terminal?
No. The DS-KAB-601COVER is a cover plate for an unused installation hole, not a face recognition mounting bracket. If you need to install a face terminal, fingerprint module or QR reader, choose the correct accessory for that specific reader component instead. - Is the DS-KAB-601COVER suitable for all turnstiles?
No. The DS-KAB-601COVER should only be used with compatible Hikvision PG type turnstiles that support this accessory. It is not a universal turnstile cover, so the turnstile model and installation hole layout should be checked before purchase. - Why would a turnstile need a face recognition hole cover?
A face recognition hole cover is useful when the turnstile top cover includes a cut-out, but the project does not require a face recognition terminal. For installations supplied through Security Wholesalers, it helps keep the finished lane neat, complete and easier to present in front-of-house environments. - Can this cover be used during a turnstile upgrade?
Yes, it can be useful during a turnstile refit if the final access method changes and the face recognition hole is no longer required. The installer should confirm that the original opening and turnstile top cover match the DS-KAB-601COVER before installation. - What should be checked before ordering this cover?
Before ordering, confirm the turnstile model, PG type configuration, top-cover layout, installation hole size and whether a cover plate is the correct accessory. If a reader or terminal will be installed later, check whether a different bracket or module plate is required.
