A mobile home community carries a commercial traffic load on residential-grade hardware. The gate opens a thousand times a week, so a homeowner operator fails within a year, and once the gate is propped or broken the entire perimeter is decorative.
We size the operator to the cycle count first, then fix the two things that make the gate pointless anyway: codes that every visitor knows, and unlit dead-end streets where dumping and vehicle burglary happen out of sight.
A broken or propped gate turns private streets into a shortcut. Reliability is the security feature here.
One code for the whole park is a key with a thousand copies. Per-space credentials make a move-out one deletion.
Dumping, stripped vehicles and after-hours gatherings cluster where nobody drives past.
Responder entry at the main gate and a documented second way out, coordinated with the local district.
UL 325 devices take more abuse here than anywhere. They get inspected on every service visit, not just at install.
Walk gates, reader height and clear space at the entry, so residents on foot are not funneled into the vehicle lane.
Scoped to the property, not a per-unit rate card. These are the factors that move the number, in the order they usually matter.
Because it is residential hardware on a commercial duty cycle. A properly sized operator with loop protection and a maintenance interval is the entire fix, and it usually pays for itself in avoided service calls.
That is why credentials are per space and logged. Sharing stops mattering when you can see which credential opened the gate and turn it off.
You rarely need to. We fence the two or three lines people actually walk in through and leave the rest, which is a fraction of the cost.
The entry gate failing monthly under traffic, and repeated dumping on two dead-end streets. We replaced the residential operator with a commercial high-cycle unit, added loop protection and per-space codes, and covered the dead ends.
Emergency service across Los Angeles, Ventura and Kern counties, usually same or next day, with the gate left safe and operable either way.
Yes, but we recommend moving to codes or credentials so a lost remote is not an open gate.
We specify and install to the district's requirements and are on site for the inspection.
Name, phone and ZIP. We walk it before we price it.
