What is multifamily access control?

Multifamily access control is an electronic system that controls who can open gates, building entrances and amenity doors in an apartment community. Residents use a fob, card or phone, visitors call a resident from a video intercom, and managers add or remove residents in minutes when someone moves in or out. Turner Security installs and supports multifamily access control in Middle Tennessee and the Chattanooga area.

Cameras on gates, entrances, parking, mail and package areas and amenities round out the system, and live video monitoring can watch problem areas after hours.

What we set up

Access residents like and managers can control

We plan around your gates, buildings, amenities and move-in process.

Vehicle gates

Resident gate access by fob, card or phone, with visitor entry through a call box or video intercom.

Video intercoms

Guests and deliveries call a resident from the entrance, and residents can see who is there before letting them in.

Amenity door schedules

Open pools, gyms and clubhouses only during set hours, and only for current residents.

Move-in and move-out

Add a new resident's credential on move-in day and turn it off at move-out without rekeying.

Community cameras

Coverage of gates, parking, entrances, mail and package areas and amenities, viewable from the office or a phone.

After-hours monitoring

Live video monitoring with talk-down for pools, lots and problem areas at night.

Why it matters

Resident turnover makes keys impossible to track

Every move-out is a key, fob or gate code that may still be out there. Shared gate codes spread fast, and amenities get used by people who do not live there.

Electronic access ties every gate and door to a current resident and a schedule, and cameras give managers a clear record when something happens.

Common questions

Questions we hear a lot

How much does apartment access control cost?

Cost depends on the number of gates, entrances and amenity doors, the type of readers and intercoms, and whether existing hardware can be reused. We do a free assessment and give you a written proposal with a clear price.

Can residents open the gate with their phone?

Yes. Most systems we install support mobile credentials, so residents can use a phone, a fob or a card.

How do visitors and deliveries get in?

A video intercom or call box at the gate or entrance lets visitors call a resident or the leasing office, who can see them and grant access.

Can pool and gym doors run on a schedule?

Yes. Amenity doors can open only during set hours and only for current residents, with entry history you can review.

Can you take over our existing gate and access system?

In many cases, yes. We review your existing gate operators, readers, intercoms and cameras and tell you what we can service, add to or replace.

Do you serve apartment communities in Chattanooga and Nashville?

Yes. Our Smyrna office covers Nashville and Middle Tennessee and our Chattanooga office covers the Chattanooga area and North Georgia.

Clifton and Erica came to my property today to reconfigure our camera views. I emailed them late last night and Clifton was here first thing this morning. This company is outstanding and does exactly what they say they are going to do. Thank you Turner Security for always being responsive and professional.

Richard was quick to assist with our security needs and very knowledgeable with diagnosis of our system issues, helping me understand how to utilize a system that was installed prior to me being involved with our property. You can tell he enjoys what he does.
