Managing access for Atholl's homes and apartment complexes
Atholl is right on Sandton's doorstep. In Atholl, the security challenge changes from one street to the next. A freestanding home on a road like Arkwright Avenue needs to screen visitors at a gate that might be far from the house. A modern apartment complex near Grayston Drive has a single entrance point for dozens of homes. Both need a reliable way to identify visitors before letting them onto the property.
Our approach in Atholl is to match the system to the property. For houses, a video intercom lets you see who is there before you open. For apartment buildings, a system that calls residents' phones is a practical way to manage visitor access for everyone. We keep resident and staff entry separate, using tags, codes or fingerprints that can be managed individually.
For any Atholl property, from a single home to an estate like Balgowan Estate, diligent administration is the most important part of access control. Keeping the user list current by removing former staff or tenants is a simple habit that maintains the system's integrity and ensures only authorised people can enter.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our intercoms and access control page.
Questions from Atholl
We manage an Atholl apartment block. Can visitors call residents without us wiring every unit?
Yes. We can install an intercom that uses the mobile network to ring residents on their chosen cellphones or landlines. Each resident can then speak to their visitor and open the gate from their own phone.
Can I give a builder a temporary access code for our house on Watt Avenue?
Yes. A keypad at the gate allows you to create codes that are only active for specific times or dates. When the job is finished, the code automatically stops working, so you do not need to retrieve a remote.
Every Atholl property is different, so we look before we quote. Send us a photo or call, and we will arrange a visit and a written quote for your intercom work.
