Smart access control systems and an intercom at the gate decide who comes and goes at a Los Angeles residence: gates, doors and mobile entry, working as one. Family is welcomed without a pause, guests and staff are received on your terms, and everyone else is kept politely at the gate.

Access Control Systems for Every Gate and Door

Gates, doors and smart locks answer to one system. Manage every entry point at home or away, and secure them all with a single command.

Credentials and Schedules

Mobile credentials for the family, scheduled access for staff and one-time entry for couriers, so the right people arrive on your terms.

Who makes the door.

Five makers answer the gate and the door. We choose by the house, and bring them together in one system.

  1. A hand touching the screen of a brass Basalte Adelante door station

    Basalte Adelante

    A tall metal door station with video, speaker and house number.

    Best for a home that wants the entrance to feel designed.

    We reach for it when the door station is part of the architecture.

  2. A woman using the keypad of a door station beside a brick wall

    Control4 Door Station

    A modular door station that rings every touch panel and phone in the house.

    Best for homes already run by Control4.

    We reach for it when the doorbell should join the rest of the system.

  3. The Crestron Home access app beside a house with a glass garage door

    Crestron Home Access

    Door stations, locks and gates answering inside the Crestron Home app.

    Best for Crestron homes with several entries to manage.

    We reach for it when locks, gates and intercom should share one screen.

  4. A dark Loxone keypad with illuminated numbers

    Loxone Intercom

    An IP door station with camera and speaker, with an NFC Code Touch keypad for doors.

    Best for a Loxone home that wants keys, fobs and tags.

    We reach for it when the door should answer in the app.

  5. A hand holding a card to a door reader beside a smart lock

    Alarm.com Locks and Readers

    Door readers and smart locks managed from the Alarm.com app.

    Best for staff, schedules and one-time entry.

    We reach for it when the alarm and the doors should be run together.

Every arrival, received with discretion.

  1. A gate glowing with light at the entrance to a modern home at dusk

    Arriving Home

    Gates and doors recognize you and open as you approach.

  2. A visitor on the screen of a Basalte touch panel, a finger on the answer button

    A Visitor Arrives

    See and speak with visitors from your phone or a touch panel before they are let in.

  3. A visitor on the screen of a Basalte door station, a finger on the call button

    Deliveries

    Grant one-time or scheduled access to couriers and staff, without leaving what you are doing.

  4. A sliding driveway gate closed at night, the house beyond lit

    Away

    Review entry activity and alerts, and secure every access point with one command.

Four considered steps, one team.

How we work
  1. Homeowners and a designer reviewing material samples at a kitchen table

    Understand

    We begin with how you live, and what should simply disappear.

  2. A white architectural model of a house in a design studio

    Design

    Planned around the architecture, in step with your architect and designer.

  3. A site lead reviewing drawings beside a pool

    Integrate

    Installed, connected and programmed with precision and minimal visual impact.

  4. A finished residence glowing at dusk at the end of a palm-lined drive

    Deliver

    Every scene commissioned, a personal walkthrough, then concierge care.

How it works with the rest of the home.

Every system in the home is designed with the others in mind. These are a few of the everyday moments where they meet.

A guest at the gate

When someone calls at the gate, the video intercom appears on the nearest touch panel, the television or your phone. See them, speak with them and let them in from wherever you are.

Remote assistance

If a camera, the gate or the intercom ever needs attention, members are looked after first, and many requests are put right remotely, with no need to wait for a visit.

Smart access control questions, answered.

Something else? Call the studio(310) 402-4818

Can I answer the gate from my phone?

Yes, from anywhere. When someone calls at the gate, the video intercom appears on the nearest touch panel, the television or your phone, so you can see them, speak with them and let them in without going to the door.

Will the gate open for us without a remote?

It can. Gates and doors recognize you and open as you approach, and a familiar car is recognized at the gate, so the family arrives home without a pause.

How does smart access control work for housekeepers, staff and deliveries?

On your terms. Staff can have access on a schedule, couriers a one-time pass and the family mobile credentials, each granted without leaving what you are doing. Entry activity can be reviewed whenever you like.

Can the entry station be designed to suit the architecture?

Yes. Every system is planned around the architecture and interiors, in step with your architect and designer, down to each keypad and sightline. Arrival should feel composed, never dominated by security equipment.

Who do I call if the gate or the intercom stops working?

Our support team, day or night: every membership includes 24/7 Basic Support. If the gate or the intercom needs attention, members move to the front of the queue, and many requests are resolved remotely, without waiting for a visit.
