Administering access in Linksfield North's estates and high-walled homes
Linksfield North is about 8 km south-east of Sandton City. In Linksfield North, many properties, from older homes on Club Street to units in estates like The Neighbourhood Estate, are set back behind high walls and established gardens. This means a visitor at the gate is often completely out of sight from the main house. For townhouse complexes and estates, the challenge is managing a shared entrance for many residents and staff, making sure only authorised people can enter.
For homes with long driveways or dense gardens, a video intercom is important to visually confirm who is at the gate. In complexes and estates, we replace outdated remote-based systems with tags or codes for each resident and staff member. This allows trustees or managing agents to grant and revoke access for individuals without affecting anyone else who lives or works there.
For trustees in Linksfield North's complexes, the main task is maintaining a clean list of who has access. When a resident moves out or a contractor's job is finished, their access tag or code must be removed promptly. This controlled administration is just as important for a freestanding home on a road like George Avenue managing access for staff and service providers, making sure old remotes no longer work.
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 Linksfield North
Our estate has many contractors. Can we give them temporary access?
Yes. With a keypad or tag system, we can issue codes or tags that are active only for specific days or times, and which can be deleted once the work is complete. This avoids handing out permanent remotes.
We just bought a house here. How do we know who still has remotes for our gate?
The safest approach is to clear the gate motor's remote receiver memory completely. We can do this for you and then re-link only the remotes you have in your possession, making sure no old remotes will work.
If something on your intercom setup in Linksfield North 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.
