The telephone entry units on most Houston community and commercial gates, and what to do when yours stops dialing.
DoorKing telephone entry systems are everywhere in Houston: the 1812 at gated homes and small properties, the 1802 at mid-size communities, and the 1830 series at large multifamily and commercial entries. Most were installed on a landline, and as those lines disappear, a lot of them have stopped working.
We install, program, repair, and replace the full DoorKing line, including moving existing systems to cellular.
A DoorKing on a dead landline can be converted with a cellular module or replaced with a cellular head unit from DoorKing or CellGate on the same pedestal. We migrate the directory, keep the gate wiring, and set up browser-based management so the property team updates residents without a service call.
For new communities and commercial entries we install the right DoorKing model with readers, loops, photo-eyes, and cameras, program the directory and schedules, and train the property manager on the software.
Almost always the phone line. Carriers are retiring copper lines. We convert the unit to cellular or replace it with a cellular model.
Once it is on cellular or internet with DoorKing's software, yes. Older landline units require an on-site visit.
Usually. We reuse the pedestal and gate wiring when they are sound and swap the head unit.
Yes. Most of our DoorKing work is on existing systems.
Sometimes. For large directories and existing DoorKing hardware, staying with DoorKing on cellular is often best. We quote both.
Call and we answer within 30 minutes. The owner or a senior technician comes out, diagnoses, and gives you a written quote before any work starts.
