HOA Entrances | Gator Strong

Sound familiar?

Most entrances age quietly. Then they fail loudly.

01

The gate is stuck open

It's been "temporarily" open for weeks. Everyone notices, including people who don't live there.

02

The call box runs on a landline

Carriers are retiring copper phone lines. Older call boxes that depend on them stop working, often with no warning.

03

Nobody knows who has a fob

Old remotes and codes from residents who moved years ago still open the gate. There is no way to turn them off.

04

The cameras can't read a plate

Footage exists, but at night or in rain it shows headlights and a blur. Useless when the board needs it.

05

No battery backup

When the power goes out in a storm, the gate either won't open or won't close. Neither is good.

06

The entrance is dark

Lights out, a leaning fence panel, a faded keypad. Small things that tell everyone the entrance isn't looked after.

What we upfit

Keep what works. Modernize the rest.

We don't rip out an entrance to sell a new one. We start with what you have and upgrade the parts that are failing or out of date.

Cost per home

Boards think in dollars per home. So do we.

Move the sliders to your community. These are typical installed ranges. Your audit turns them into a real number.

Do you work with management companies? Yes. We work with managers and boards directly, and we can audit several communities in one trip.

Can you work with our existing equipment? Often, yes. The audit tells you what to keep and what to replace.

Can we phase the work? Yes. The report ranks every fix so the board can do the urgent work first.

Where do you work? From Wilmington to Myrtle Beach, across seven coastal counties.

The gate is the first thing residents see. And the first thing that breaks.
