Managing access for Pine Slopes' sectional title complexes and shared entrances
Pine Slopes is about 11 km north-west of Sandton City. Pine Slopes is a dense, modern area primarily of sectional title complexes and townhouses, often with long shared perimeters. Entrances to these complexes, found along roads like Witkoppen Road and Sunrise Boulevard, typically involve a main vehicle and a pedestrian gate. Older intercom and access systems can become a weak point, especially when electric fences, often dating back to original construction, are managed by a body corporate.
We separate visitor screening from resident and staff entry at shared access points. For visitors, a video intercom lets residents see who is at the gate before opening, or a GSM intercom can ring their mobile phones. For residents and regular staff, individual tags, codes, or fingerprints allow entry. These methods mean access can be granted or revoked for one person without affecting others, linking directly to the gate motor or pedestrian gate lock.
For complexes in Pine Slopes, trustees and managing agents need a clear system for managing who can enter. It is important to have one named person responsible for administering the access system, regularly removing old user codes, tags, or fingerprints when residents move out or contractors finish work. This maintains security and ensures that access logs and any stored personal information are handled responsibly.
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 Pine Slopes
Can we give different types of access to residents, staff, and contractors?
Yes. Residents can have permanent tags or codes. Domestic staff and gardeners can have codes active only on certain days or times. Contractors can get temporary codes that expire after a set period.
A resident moved out, and we need to remove their access. How do we do this?
We can remove individual tags, codes, or fingerprints from the system without affecting anyone else's access. If old remotes were used, we clear them from the receiver, making sure only current residents' remotes work.
