The job, start to finish

Where it started

The old keypad on the gooseneck post at the end of this rural driveway was worn and due for replacement.

What we did

We took the old keypad off its gooseneck post and installed a Cellgate entry unit in its place, with a keypad and a camera in one housing. Nothing had to be dug up to do it.

  • Old keypad removed from the gooseneck post
  • New Cellgate keypad and camera entry unit installed and wired
  • Same post, no new trenching

How it turned out

The driveway now has a keypad and a camera at the gate, and the swap took about two hours.

Questions we get about jobs like this

Can you add a keypad or app entry to the gate opener I already have?

Usually, yes. Most gate operators (LiftMaster, DoorKing, Nice/Apollo, Viking, and others) accept a simple dry-contact signal, which is exactly what a keypad or app controller sends when it grants access. If your opener is old enough that the control board is on its way out, we'll tell you before quoting a new access system on top of it. Wireless keypads are an option when trenching wire to the entrance isn't practical.

Will my gate still open if the internet or power goes out?

Codes and fobs stored in the unit itself keep working without internet. Only the remote app features pause until service comes back. For power, we install battery backup on most operators, and every gate gets a manual release so you're never locked in or out. On rural properties where running power to the gate isn't realistic, solar is a workable option.

How do temporary codes work for vendors, renters, and showings?

Modern keypads and cloud systems let you issue a code that only works on certain days or hours, or expires after one use. Hand your landscaper a Tuesday-only code, then delete it from your phone when the contract ends. Entry logs show which code opened the gate and when, which is useful for HOAs settling arguments about who left it propped open.
