Quick answer
It depends on your gate type, the access technology you choose, how many users or credentials you need, and how it ties into the operator you already have. A single keypad on a home driveway is a small job. A video intercom with phone access, or card readers for a multi-tenant property, costs more. We price it on a free site visit and match any written competitor quote.

Access methods
Pick how people get in. Most properties combine two or three, like a keypad for guests, remotes for family and an exit loop so cars can leave without a code.
A weatherproof keypad on a post or pillar opens the gate with a code. Give each person their own code and delete it when they no longer need access.

After the install
Trained technicians wire the system into your gate operator and safety devices, then test every credential with you.
Tested with you at handover
We program codes, cards, remotes and app users, and show you how to add or remove people yourself.
Simple to manage
An annual inspection keeps readers, intercoms and wiring talking to the gate. Heavy-use sites may need more.
Yearly check recommended
If codes fail, the intercom goes quiet or the gate stops responding, we find the fault and fix it.

What is access control for electric gates?
It is an electronic system that controls who can open an electric gate, using credentials such as codes, cards, fobs, remotes, phone apps or intercom verification. It connects to the gate operator's control board, so the gate only opens for a valid credential.
How much does access control installation cost?
Pricing depends on the gate type, the technology you choose, the number of users and how it ties into your existing operator. A free site visit gives you an exact quote, and we match any written competitor quote.
Can I combine multiple access control systems?
Yes. Many properties combine a keypad for guests, remotes or an app for family, and an exit loop so cars can leave without a code.
Can you add access control to my existing gate?
Yes. Most keypads, readers and intercoms wire into the operator you already have. If the control board is too old to support what you want, we tell you on the site visit.
Are access control systems secure?
Yes, when they are professionally installed and set up. Individual codes or credentials let you remove one person's access without changing it for everyone.
How often should access control be maintained?
We recommend an annual inspection, with more frequent service for heavy-use commercial gates.
Do you install residential and commercial access control?
Yes. We install driveway keypads and video intercoms for homes, and card readers, vehicle tags and multi-tenant intercoms for HOAs, apartments, offices and warehouses.
