Access Control
Choose who gets in and when - keypads, intercoms, and phone entry for total control.
What Is Gate Access Control?
Access control is the layer that decides who can open your gate and how. It spans simple remotes and keypads up to video intercoms, smartphone entry, fobs, and credential-based systems - so you can let a delivery driver in from your phone, give a tradesperson a temporary code, or buzz in a guest without leaving the house. At Capital Gates, we integrate access control with every automated gate and can also retrofit modern entry onto many existing operators.
When Is Access Control Necessary?
Access control is worth adding any time you automate a gate, and it becomes essential when managing tenant or visitor access at multi-unit, strata, or commercial properties, or when adding a security layer to a residential gate. Properties with frequent deliveries, short-term rentals, or staff parking benefit most from smartphone and keypad systems, while single-family homes often start with remotes and add a video intercom for convenience and security.
What Is Required for Access Control?
An access control install needs power and wiring to the access point, integration with the gate's operator, and - for strata or commercial properties - coordination with the property manager on credentials and access schedules. We'll help you choose between remotes, keypads, fobs, telephone entry, and smartphone app control, or a combination, and we wire and program everything as part of the automation install.
