Whether you’re protecting a home, ranch, or commercial facility, our access control solutions make your gate smarter, safer, and easier to use.
Why Upgrade Your Access Control & Security System?
Modern access systems do far more than open gates—they manage access, enhance safety, and provide peace of mind. Here’s why upgrading your system makes a difference:
Safety
Prevent accidents and unauthorized entry with responsive photo eyes, sensors, and secure code-based or card-based access systems that keep your family, livestock, and property safe.
Security
With programmable keypads, encrypted remotes, and app-based monitoring, you can track and control gate activity to protect your property around the clock.
Convenience
Control your gate remotely from your smartphone or vehicle, letting in guests, deliveries, or workers without leaving your seat.
Integration
Our systems pair seamlessly with existing openers and gate motors, ensuring smooth performance with brands like LiftMaster, Ghost Controls, and USAutomatic.
Professional Appearance
Access control upgrades give your entrance a polished, high-end look while improving functionality and safety.
Reliability
Weather-sealed components and durable hardware ensure long-term, dependable performance in Texas heat, wind, and rain.
Common Access Control & Security System Issues
Even the most advanced systems can wear down or malfunction over time. Here are some of the common problems we diagnose and repair:
Keypad Not Responding or Codes Not Working
Dust, corrosion, or worn-out circuitry can cause keypads to fail. We clean, rewire, or replace them for consistent and reliable entry.
Card Reader or Fob System Failure
Card access systems may lose power or connectivity. We inspect wiring, recalibrate sensors, and reprogram access permissions to restore security.
Remote or App Connection Issues
Signal interference, software updates, or faulty receivers can break communication between your device and your gate. We test all connectivity points and re-sync your controls.
Intercom or Camera Malfunctions
Cracked wiring or outdated components can disrupt audio and video communication. We repair, replace, or upgrade intercom systems for clear two-way contact.
Sensor or Safety Device Errors
Misaligned or dirty sensors can cause gates to reverse, stop randomly, or fail to close. We realign, clean, or replace sensors to ensure safe and predictable gate operation.
Power or Battery Failures
Power surges or dead batteries can disable your entire access system. We replace backup batteries, inspect transformers, and stabilize power flow for continuous operation.

Routine Maintenance Tips
- Clean Inputs: Wipe keypads and readers to prevent grit from blocking buttons or card scans.
- Test Devices Monthly: Confirm remotes, codes, and credentials still trigger reliable opens after storms or power events.
- Check Alignment: Keep photo-eyes clean and level so safety stops trigger accurately without nuisance reversals.
- Watch Power Health: Replace weak remote batteries early and inspect control power and backups after surges.
- Update Firmware: Keep app modules current for security patches and better connectivity.
- Listen & Observe: Beeps, lag, or random stops usually hint at wiring, range, or sensor issues that need attention.
