Security Gate Opening Instructions
When a visitor arrives at the Lorraine Road Front Visitor Entrance Security gate, during controlled access, and they want to gain entry, you will need to know the following the below instruction to allow your gust into the community. You can download a copy of these instructions by clicking the icon to the left.
Resident Instructions
Resident control of the gate that the telephone entry system controls is limited to opening the gate in response to a call from a guest at the Telephone Entry System (Call Box).
When communication is established, the resident has the option of opening the Front Entry Gate by pressing the programmed tone open number “9” on their touch tone telephone, or they can deny access to the caller by pressing the # Key on their telephone. If access is granted, the resident will hear a confirmation tone in their handset indicating that the gate has opened, then the system will automatically hang up. If a resident hangs up to deny access instead of pressing the # Key, the telephone entry system will remain on line until its programmed talk time expires or until it detects dial tone.
Some newer type telephones emit a short tone rather than a continuous tone when their keys are pressed. This may cause the telephone entry system to not respond to the tone open number, “9”. If this happens, simply press the tone open number, “9” twice in rapid succession to open the door or gate, if successful the phone will give a tone and then will automatically hang up.
If a resident is using a rotary dial telephone, they will grant access to their guest by dialing “9”. To deny access to the caller the residents with rotary phones MUST simply hang up.
