Managing gate access for Dalecross's established homes
In Dalecross, the house on a large stand is often set far back from the street. With a substantial boundary wall, anyone at your gate is completely out of sight and hearing from the home itself. This distance makes clearly identifying a visitor before granting entry the main security task for the property. The intercom system has to bridge this physical gap reliably.
We recommend a video intercom so you can see who is asking for entry. For a large Dalecross house, we can install multiple indoor screens in different areas, like the kitchen or an upstairs study. On these established properties, running new cables from the gate can be disruptive, so an intercom that calls selected mobile phones is a practical alternative, provided there is good signal at the gate.
For anyone moving into an established Dalecross home, the first priority is managing who holds access. Over the years, previous owners may have given out numerous remotes to staff or contractors. We recommend clearing the gate motor's receiver memory completely. We can then issue new access tags or codes only to current residents and staff, giving you a clean slate and full control over who 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 Dalecross
Can we give our gardener access only on certain days?
Yes. We can set up a keypad code or access tag for them that only works on specific days and during set hours. This gives them the access they need for work without you having to be there to open the gate.
The speaker at our gate is crackly and hard to hear. Does the whole system need replacing?
Not necessarily. Often, only the external gate station has failed due to weather and age. If the internal wiring and handsets are still working, we can usually just replace the unit at the gate.
