Types of GSM/Cell Phone Gate Entry Solutions

We offer different gate entry solutions that use your cell phone to open gates quickly and securely. These systems can work for homes, businesses, or upgrading your current setup. Each option fits different needs and helps you control access with ease

Residential Gate Entry Systems


For homes, we install systems that let you open your gate by calling or texting a special number. This means you don’t need a remote or keypad. The system uses your phone’s GSM signal to verify your identity.



You can add features like time-based access for guests or temporary codes for delivery people. These systems are easy to use, reliable, and reduce the risk of lost or stolen remotes. We make sure everything works with your gate’s current motor and wiring.

Commercial and Industrial Gate Installations


Businesses need stronger, more flexible solutions. Our commercial systems handle many users and can integrate with security cameras or intercoms. These setups often support multiple gates and provide detailed access logs.



We install GSM modules that work with large gate motors and different control panels. You can manage user permissions remotely, so you decide who enters and when. These systems fit warehouses, offices, and apartment complexes.

Retrofit and Upgrade Options


If your gate already has an opener, we can add GSM control without replacing the full system. This upgrade allows you to use your phone instead of remotes or keypads while keeping the existing gate hardware.


Retrofitting is cost-effective and fast. We connect a GSM module to your current setup, enabling phone-based access immediately. This option works well if you want better control but don’t want a full new system installation.

Installation Process

We focus on careful planning, quality design, and expert installation to ensure your sliding gate works smoothly and lasts for years. Each step is tailored to fit your property and security needs while using durable materials and precise methods

  • 1. Initial Consultation and Site Assessment

     we start with a site visit to assess your gate and its electrical setup. Next, we design a custom plan that fits your requirements and budget. Our installation includes mounting the GSM device and connecting it safely to your existing gate opener.


    We test the entire system thoroughly before finishing the job. We also show you how to use the entry system so you feel comfortable with the new technology. If needed, we offer support and maintenance after installation.

  • 2. Compatibility with Existing Gates

    We first look at the type and condition of your current gate. Not all gates are built the same, so the entry system must suit your model. For example, sliding gates require different hardware than swing gates.


    You’ll need to ensure your gate’s motor and control board can connect with the GSM device. Some older gates might need upgrades to work with cell phone controls.


    Physical space is also key. The GSM equipment needs room for proper installation without blocking gate movement or damaging parts. We make sure the system fits neatly and safely.

  • 3. Signal Strength and Network Requirements

    Strong cellular signal is essential for a reliable system. We check signal levels at your gate location before installation.


    If the signal is weak, you may need an external antenna or signal booster to avoid connection drops. We analyze available networks and recommend providers that offer solid coverage in your area.


    You also want to verify if your gate will use GSM 2G, 3G, or 4G networks to match your carrier’s infrastructure. Some systems fail if the network technology is outdated or unsupported.

  • 4. Security and Access Control Needs

    You control who enters your property, so the system must support secure access methods. We discuss whether you want PIN codes, remote controls, or phone calls to open the gate.


    It’s important the system logs entry activity. This helps you track who used the gate and when.


    We also cover encryption and protection against hacking. A GSM gate entry system should prevent unauthorized access, especially if you allow multiple users.


    You decide how many users to add and how to manage permissions. We help set up user groups if needed, keeping your property safe and easy to control.

  • 5. Troubleshooting and Technical Assistance

    If you face any problems with your GSM gate entry, we are ready to help. You can contact us any time for fast troubleshooting. We check connection errors, software glitches, or hardware faults to find the root cause. Our team guides you through simple fixes like resetting the gate opener or updating your phone settings.


    For more complex issues, we provide remote support or send a technician to your location. We aim to minimize downtime, so your gate works as it should without long delays. You never have to guess what to do—we walk you through each step or take care of it ourselves.

  • 6. Scheduled Maintenance Plans

    We offer scheduled maintenance plans to keep your gate system in top shape. Regular checks include inspecting the motor, testing the GSM signal, and making sure all components are clean and secure. This routine helps prevent unexpected failures and extends the life of your gate system.


    You can choose from monthly, quarterly, or yearly plans depending on your needs and usage. We also adjust maintenance visits if you experience heavy use or live in an area with extreme weather, which can affect gate performance. Our goal is to keep your gate reliable without extra effort on your part.

Custom Features and Technology Integration

Smartphone App Connectivity


With smartphone app connectivity, you open and close your gate from anywhere. The app lets you check the gate’s status at any time. You receive alerts if the gate is left open or if someone tries to enter your property.


The app works on both iOS and Android phones. It supports real-time control and allows you to set schedules for automatic opening or closing. You can also share temporary or permanent access with visitors through the app. This gives you full control without needing to be on site.

Intercom and Video Integration


We integrate intercom and video systems so you can see and talk to visitors before opening the gate. This adds a layer of security and convenience. Cameras provide clear video feeds directly to your phone or home system.



The intercom allows two-way audio, so you can communicate with delivery drivers or guests. Video integration can include motion detection and night vision. This helps you watch your property 24/7 and respond quickly when needed.

Multiple User and Remote Access Management


Our system supports managing access for many users with separate permissions. You can add family members, employees, or service providers and control when and how they enter.


Remote access means you control all users from your phone. You can revoke access instantly or set time limits for certain users. This keeps your property safe and flexible for everyone who needs to enter.

Pricing for GSM/Cell Phone Gate Entry Installation

When you consider installing a GSM or cell phone gate entry system with us, several factors can affect what you pay. We provide clear cost details upfront to help you plan your budget without surprises

Factors Influencing Service Costs

The price depends on the type of gate you have and the existing electrical setup. For example, installing on a new gate may cost more than upgrading an existing system.


We also look at the complexity of the installation. If your gate requires extra wiring or additional hardware like keypads or intercoms, this will add to the cost.


Location matters too. If your property is far from our service area in Barrie or Muskoka, travel and labor may increase your total price.


Different gate models and GSM modules vary in price. We recommend equipment that balances reliability with cost to meet your needs without overspending

Transparent Estimates and Quotes

We give you a detailed, written estimate before starting any work. This includes parts, labor, and any additional fees, so there are no hidden costs. Our team explains every charge and answers your questions to ensure you understand what you are paying for.


If you want, we can provide options at different price points. This way, you choose the system and level of service that fit your budget. You can request a free consultation for a personalized quote based on your gate and preferences. We want you to feel confident in the cost and value of our service.

FAQs on GSM/Cell Phone Gate Entry


We provide clear details on how the systems work, their safety features, and the installation process

  • What types of gates can Ace Automatic Gate Repair install GSM/cell phone entry systems on?

    Automatic gate chains or belts should typically be replaced every 3-5 years in Irvine, CA. However, gates with higher usage (over 20 cycles per day) may need replacement every 2-3 years. Environmental factors in Irvine, CA, particularly coastal properties exposed to salt air, can accelerate wear and require more frequent replacement—sometimes annually for severe cases. Regular maintenance inspections (recommended quarterly) can help identify wear before complete failure occurs, extending the operational life of these components.

  • How does the GSM/cell phone entry system work for gated properties?

    The system uses your cell phone to open the gate remotely. When you call or send a code via your phone, the gate receives a signal to unlock. This allows easy and keyless entry.

  • What are the security features of the GSM/cell phone gate entry systems provided by Ace Automatic Gate Repair?

    Automatic gate chain or belt replacement in Irvine, CA typically costs between $250-$450 for standard residential gates. Commercial gate chain/belt replacement ranges from $350-$750 depending on gate size and drive system complexity. This price generally includes the replacement parts, labor, and basic system adjustment. Additional costs may apply if the sprockets, tensioners, or other components also need replacement. Many companies offer maintenance packages that include discounted chain/belt replacement, potentially saving 15-20% over emergency service calls. 

  • Can Ace Automatic Gate Repair integrate GSM/cell phone entry with existing gate automation?

    Professional chain or belt replacement for automatic gates typically takes 1-2 hours for standard residential systems. Commercial gates or complex installations may require 2-4 hours. The process includes removing the old chain/belt, inspecting related components (sprockets, tensioners, idlers), installing the new component, proper tensioning, lubrication (for chains), system testing, and final adjustments. Most experienced technicians can complete the service in a single visit, minimizing downtime for your property access.
