Securing Kew's mix of residential and industrial entrances
Kew is about 4 km east of Sandton City. In Kew, residential properties often share streets like Arkwright Avenue and London Road with light industrial workshops and commercial offices. This creates a mix of traffic, where a family home's gate might be right next to a business entrance managing staff and daily deliveries. The challenge is to screen personal visitors effectively while also controlling scheduled access for a neighbouring warehouse or office.
For these mixed-use areas, we install systems that handle different needs. A business might get a keypad for staff access that works only during office hours, paired with a heavy-duty intercom for delivery gates. For the homes nearby, a video intercom is important to visually confirm who is visiting, distinguishing a friend from a driver looking for the adjacent property.
For Kew's business owners and body corporates, the most important part is managing the user list. When an employee leaves or a tenant moves out, their access must be revoked instantly. We set up systems so that a manager can delete a tag or code without affecting anyone else. This simple administrative step is important for securing premises with regular staff or resident turnover.
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 Kew
Can we set access times for our staff?
Yes. We can program tag, code, or fingerprint systems to work only during specific hours. This means staff can only enter during their shifts, and access is automatically denied after hours.
We have contractors on site. Can we give them temporary access?
Yes. We can issue temporary PIN codes that are set to expire on a certain date. This is more secure than giving out a permanent code or a remote you have to get back later.
Every Kew 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.
