Gate openers integrated with keypads, intercoms, and access panels.
Every device mapped and tested before any new wiring is added. We read what's already there instead of trusting the labels.

A properly integrated gate system means every device communicates, reliably, every time.
A keypad was added when the property was first secured. A video intercom came later. Then a loop detector for the exit. Each one installed at a different time, by a different hand. Now something isn't responding correctly, and no one can say which wire controls what.
In Los Angeles, this happens on older properties that were updated in stages. No one planned the system from the start.
Gate opener system integration, the process of connecting an opener to keypads, intercoms, access control panels, loop detectors, and smart entry devices so they all function as one coordinated system, is how that problem gets corrected. We've handled this work across Los Angeles since 2014, holding California Contractor License #1049550, which covers the electrical and low-voltage scope that multi-device integration requires.
LA multi-tenant properties run more gate devices per opener than almost anywhere in the state.
ZIP code 90036 sits at the center of our service area. From there the work fans outward into West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Culver City, corridors packed with apartment complexes, live-work units, and commercial mixed-use buildings. These properties often run three or four devices off a single gate operator: a keypad at the pedestrian entry, a video intercom at the vehicle lane, an access control panel inside the office, and a loop detector buried at the exit.
Many older properties in these neighborhoods were wired under permit before low-voltage integration became standard practice. The wiring runs exist, but they weren't labeled, and the terminals were never documented. Integration starts with reading what's already there, not assuming it matches the component labels.
Integration work runs regularly through the neighborhoods below, and service extends to surrounding Los Angeles communities. Call 844-997-7555 to confirm coverage for your specific property address.
The right integration pairing depends on how many devices share the opener's relay.
Before any new work is planned, we map the existing wiring from each device terminal back to the gate relay interface, the dry-contact relay inputs on the gate operator that allow external devices to trigger open or close commands.
Each pairing has one compatibility question that decides whether it works.
Wiegand protocol
A two-wire standard for transmitting credential data from keypad to access panel.
Confirm the Wiegand data format, 26-bit standard versus proprietary.
IP-based intercom
A network-connected intercom communicating via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, with direct relay output to the opener.
Verify the relay output voltage matches the opener's trigger input range.
RS-485 bus
A multi-device serial standard sharing a single wire run to a central controller, plus loop detector output as a separate trigger.
Confirm the loop detector output signal type, normally open versus normally closed, aligns with the opener's input configuration.
Wiring gets traced terminal-to-terminal before any new connections are made. Other integration approaches assume device labels are accurate. We verify each device's actual wiring, protocol type, and relay output before planning the sequence. That distinction matters most on older Los Angeles properties where components were added in stages without documentation.
Integration on a layered system is straightforward when the baseline is verified first.
Some Los Angeles properties have gate components from three different installation decades. An opener from one era, a keypad added five years later, an IP intercom installed recently. Each device works individually. The issue is that relay mapping between them hasn't been documented or tested as a whole.
Our approach starts with the access control panel, the central processing unit that receives credentials from input devices, validates them against a stored user list, and sends the unlock signal to the gate operator. Once that panel's current programming and relay assignments are confirmed, the surrounding devices are mapped to it one at a time. Each device is identified, its wiring traced, its function verified, then integrated in sequence.
Keypads, intercoms, access panels, and loop detectors from different manufacturers can share a single gate operator when wiring protocols are matched correctly. Multi-brand, multi-era systems are the most common integration scenario we see on older properties.
Every integration job follows the same documented standard, regardless of system age or complexity.
Nothing gets wired until the full system map is confirmed.
Every integration starts with a full site trace: every device, every wire, every terminal.
The site survey maps each connected component: opener model and relay interface configuration, keypad wiring and protocol type, intercom model and output relay specs, access control panel, and loop detector output type. Every terminal is labeled before the integration plan is written.
Integration is executed device by device against the verified baseline.
Keypad-to-panel wiring is confirmed for Wiegand data format compatibility first. The intercom relay output is matched to the opener's trigger voltage. Loop detector output, the trigger signal sent to the opener when a vehicle is detected, is wired to the correct input terminal based on signal type. Each connection is made cleanly and documented.
The final phase, where each device is tested in sequence to confirm full integration.
If any device doesn't respond as mapped, it's corrected before the job is closed. Complex systems with three or more devices may require a second visit for commissioning.
Run in this order every time, because a device that passes on its own can still fail once another is sharing the relay.
Credential entry has to trigger the opener correctly.
The call button activates the relay and the gate responds.
The exit loop detects a vehicle and sends the open command with no manual input.
Every relay assignment is documented in writing once integration is complete. Terminals are labeled and mapped so the next person working on the system, including us, knows exactly which wire controls what.
Call or email to schedule a site survey. We map what's there before we touch a wire. Your gate opener, keypad, intercom, and access panel, fully integrated and commissioned in one project.
Tell us what's on the gate and we'll map it.
