Gate Access Control Systems for Storage Facilities

Entry methods we install

We fit the credential to how your customers actually use the property, and most facilities use a mix:

• Keypad / PIN entry — Simple, familiar, and reliable. Each customer gets a unique code you can issue or revoke instantly, so a former tenant's code stops working the moment their contract ends.
• Mobile / app unlock — Customers open the gate from their phone. No code to share, no fob to lose, and you can grant access remotely in seconds.
• Key fobs and access cards — Tap-to-enter credentials for customers who prefer a physical token, with the same instant revocation.
• RFID / vehicle tags — Hands-free entry for high-traffic facilities, ideal when customers drive large rigs and don't want to roll a window down.
• License Plate Recognition — A camera reads the customer's plate and opens the gate automatically, with no action required. Our most popular upgrade for RV and self-storage lots.
• Intercom / telephone entry — A video intercom lets a visitor or contractor request entry, and you can admit them remotely from anywhere.

What you get with every system

Every gate system we build is more than a way to open a gate. You get remote credential management, so you add or remove customers from your phone or computer instead of driving to the site. You get a complete entry and exit log, showing exactly who entered, when, and through which gate — invaluable for billing disputes, incident investigations, and insurance. You get scheduling and access tiers, so you can set facility hours, give certain customers extended access, and lock out everyone else overnight. And because we build on Ubiquiti UniFi, it all lives on one owner-controlled platform that scales as you add gates, doors, and cameras.

How it works

Most installations follow the same proven flow. A customer approaches the gate and presents their credential — a code, a tap, a phone, or simply their license plate. The reader or camera sends the request to a UniFi access hub, which checks it against your authorized list and your access schedule. If the credential is valid and within hours, the hub triggers your gate operator to open, and the event is written to the log with a timestamp. If you've added cameras, the system captures matching video of the vehicle and driver. Everything syncs to the cloud so you can review it from anywhere.

The hardware behind it

We build on Ubiquiti UniFi Access. For vehicle gates, the UniFi Access Gate Hub controls the gate and connects to your readers or intercom, while the Gate Starter configuration adds license-plate unlock when paired with a UniFi Protect AI camera. Outdoor-rated readers with keypads and NFC handle code, card, and fob entry; secure NFC cards and pocket key fobs serve as customer credentials. Because UniFi supports both modern and retrofit (Wiegand/OSDP) readers, we can often upgrade an existing gate without ripping everything out. We spec the exact components after we see your site — described here by capability, designed to your facility.

Built for storage operators

Generic gate systems aren't designed for a 300-space RV lot with a 30-foot rolling gate and customers arriving at 5 a.m. Ours are. We account for oversized vehicle gates, the dust and heat of Arizona summers, multiple entry and exit lanes, anti-tailgating, and the reality that you can't staff the gate 24/7. The result is fewer break-ins, fewer after-hours phone calls, faster entry for customers, and a property you can run remotely.
