Before you book access control & keypad entry systems
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
List every door and who needs it
Write down each door, the people or groups who need to open it, and the hours. A clear list lets pros quote the same job and avoids surprises when a closet or side door turns out to need a reader.
Photograph the doors and frames
Take a straight-on photo of each door and frame, plus the edge where the latch sits and the ceiling above. Pros can tell from photos whether a strike, a surface lock or a wired reader fits.
Find the closest power and a place for the controller
Locate the nearest electrical panel, outlet or network closet. A wired system needs a dry, accessible spot for the controller and power supply, and knowing where it is saves time on the visit.
Decide who the administrator is
Pick one person who will own the account, hold the master code and remove users. Share their name and email with the pro so the account is created in the right hands from the start.
Check building and lease rules
Ask your landlord, HOA or property manager whether door hardware can change, whether the fire marshal needs to approve it and who holds the master key. Put any rules in the booking notes.
Plan what happens in an outage
Ask each door to be labeled fail-secure or fail-safe in the plan, and keep a mechanical key or override in a safe place. Staff should know how to leave and enter if power or internet is down.
Say where in Gilroy you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Eagle Ridge, Downtown Gilroy, and Glen Loma Ranch, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
