Managing entrances in Glen Atholl's redeveloped complexes and homes
Glen Atholl's mix of properties, from original freestanding houses to newer complexes like Balgowan Estate, creates varied security needs. Many properties have been redeveloped, resulting in different boundary types, often with walls shared between neighbours or within a scheme. With boundaries defined by busy roads like Grayston Drive and natural features like the Sandspruit, entrances require careful consideration.
For a Glen Atholl complex, we separate visitor screening from resident entry. A video intercom allows residents to see who is calling before opening. Where new cabling is impractical after redevelopment, we can fit an intercom that uses the mobile network to call your phone. For managed access, we use tags or codes for residents and staff, which are easier to control than old remotes.
The main task for trustees in Glen Atholl is managing the user list. When a tenant or owner moves out, their access credentials must be deleted promptly. For those who have just bought a freestanding home, the priority is to have us clear the gate motor's memory of all previous remotes and codes. This ensures only you and the people you authorise can open your gate.
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 Glen Atholl
Our complex intercom is old and unreliable. Can we upgrade it to call our cellphones?
Yes. We can install an intercom that uses the mobile network to ring the phone numbers you register. The system requires power at the gate and its SIM will have its own running costs for airtime.
We just bought a house in Glen Atholl. Should we be concerned about old gate remotes?
Yes, it is a common oversight. We recommend clearing the gate motor's receiver completely. We can then reprogram only the remotes you physically have, making sure no old ones will work.
If something on your intercom setup in Glen Atholl is not working as it should, the quickest fix starts with a call. We will ask a few questions, book a visit and quote in writing before any work starts.
