The same credential that opens the lobby
A resident who has already been issued access should not need a separate remote for the garage. Same credential, same record, same place to revoke it when they move out.
Visitor parking is the other half, and it is usually where buildings lose control. Access granted for a window and then expiring keeps it manageable without a permanent arrangement for a temporary visit.
What the work covers
- Resident vehicle entry on the same credential as the doors
- Visitor parking access granted for a window, then expiring
- Camera coverage on the entrance and through the parking levels
- Safety devices and reversing behaviour checked at commissioning
- Wireless coverage through parking so devices work below grade
- Audit trail of vehicle entries alongside door openings
Safety on a vehicle door is not optional
A garage door is the heaviest moving thing in a residential building. Photo eyes, edges and reversing behaviour are tested at commissioning and rechecked, because the consequence of getting it wrong is not an inconvenience.
One car in, one car through
A vehicle following another through on one credential is the normal failure here. Camera coverage on the entrance is what lets it be reviewed rather than argued about.
The reader has to work from a car window
Mounting height, reach and read range are set against somebody sitting in a car, not standing at a door. Get it wrong and drivers get out to tap, which is exactly how a gate ends up propped.
Heavy equipment, engineered safely
A parking door is industrial machinery in a residential setting. Entrapment protection, photo eyes, edges and reversing behaviour are tested at commissioning and scheduled for re testing, because these are the components whose failure injures people.
Access, cameras and intercom at the vehicle entrance are designed as one system so every entry has a credential, a picture and a timestamp.
Common questions
Can residents open the garage with the same fob as the front door?
Yes, and they should. One credential covers the garage, lobby and amenity doors, so management changes one record when a resident moves in or out.
How do you stop tailgating into a parking garage?
Camera coverage on the entrance is what makes a vehicle following another through reviewable rather than arguable. We pair the gate credential with entrance cameras as one design.
How do visitors get parking access?
Access granted for a time window that then expires, so a temporary visit never becomes a permanent arrangement nobody remembers issuing.
What safety devices does a garage door system need?
Photo eyes, sensing edges and correct reversing behaviour, tested at commissioning and rechecked at service. A garage door is the heaviest moving object in a residential building.
Can garage access records be audited?
Yes. Vehicle entries sit in the same audit trail as door openings, so one system answers who entered where and when.
One team from design through commissioning
We cover the full project rather than turning up to install somebody else's design. That is what makes the result somebody's responsibility.
Design
We walk the building, work out what it needs to do and produce a design you can actually price against.
Procurement
We source the equipment and stand behind what we specify, so there is one party accountable for it.
Installation
Our own crews on site for cabling, mounting, terminations and containment.
Commissioning
Everything configured, tested and handed over with the records, credentials and documentation.
