A community gate that is stuck open is a liability. A gate with a code the whole neighborhood shares is not much better. Texas Gates installs and services access control for apartment communities, townhome developments, and HOA-gated subdivisions across greater Houston.
We work directly with property managers and HOA boards. That means resident directories that managers update themselves, visitor passes residents send from their phones, cameras that capture every entry, and a repair response measured in hours, not days.
What a modern community entry includes
- ✓Video telephone entry with a resident directory
- ✓Resident fobs, tags, or phone credentials with individual logs
- ✓Visitor PIN and QR passes that expire
- ✓Separate resident and visitor lanes with long-range readers
- ✓Cameras on every entry and exit with plate capture
- ✓Exit loops, safety edges, and photo-eyes to code
- ✓Browser-based management for the property team
Replacing landline telephone entry
Many Houston communities still run a DoorKing or similar unit on a landline that the carrier is retiring. We replace the head unit with a cellular model, migrate the resident directory, and keep the existing pedestal and gate wiring where it is sound.
Repair and maintenance for communities
Community gates run thousands of cycles a month. We offer quarterly and annual maintenance for multifamily and HOA properties covering operators, entry systems, safety devices, and loops, with priority response for emergencies.
Working with HOA boards
We provide written scopes, line-item quotes, and photo documentation boards can review at a meeting. For new communities, we coordinate with the developer and the operator manufacturer so the gate meets UL 325 safety requirements from day one.
Brands we install and service
CellGate (Watchman, OmniPoint, Entria, CG Readers), LiftMaster and myQ, DoorKing telephone entry and access controllers, Viking Access, and Apollo Gate operators. We repair most other brands including Elite, Linear, and Nice.
