System Integration with Existing Gates
We specialize in integrating new timers with a wide range of gate models and motor types without disrupting current hardware. Our approach ensures compatibility with your gate’s control board and remote access systems.

Using protocols that match your existing equipment, we avoid unnecessary replacements. We configure connections to maintain all current features while enabling enhanced scheduling capabilities, preserving your investment and minimizing downtime.
Custom Scheduling Solutions
We work closely with clients to design schedules that fit specific hours of operation, peak traffic times, or security requirements. Our scheduler setups allow for multiple daily or weekly programs, ideal for residential or commercial properties.

Adjustments can be made remotely or on-site, providing flexibility as your access needs evolve. We incorporate features such as holiday overrides, temporary access windows, and delayed closing times to optimize gate use for safety and convenience.
Benefits of Automated Gate Timing and Scheduling
Automating gate timing and scheduling offers significant improvements in how we manage access, security, and operational costs. Custom setup ensures gates operate precisely when needed, reducing risks and increasing convenience.
Enhanced Security
With automated timing and scheduling, we set exact access windows for the gate, limiting entries to designated times. This reduces the chance of unauthorized access during off-hours.
We can program the gate to lock automatically after business hours or during specific time frames, providing consistent security without manual intervention.
Additionally, integration with monitoring systems allows us to track gate activity in real time, helping identify any unusual access attempts immediately.
Convenience and Accessibility
Automated scheduling lets us open and close gates without manual effort, which saves time for property managers and residents.
We can tailor access times based on the needs of different users, such as employees, deliveries, or residents, ensuring smooth and predictable traffic flow.
Remote control and smartphone app compatibility give us the ability to adjust schedules on the fly, enhancing flexibility and response to changing conditions.
Energy Efficiency
Automated gate systems reduce electricity consumption by ensuring the gate motor runs only when necessary.
By programming precise opening and closing times, we avoid keeping the gate powered unnecessarily throughout the day or night.
This efficiency also extends the life of mechanical components, lowering maintenance needs and related energy costs over time.

For advanced features, the Viking E-1600 digital timer offers multiple daily schedules, holiday programming, and smartphone connectivity. The Mighty Mule FM135 provides excellent value for residential applications with simple weekly scheduling and backup battery operation. These systems offer dependable performance with user-friendly programming interfaces.
Which gate schedulers work with existing electric gates?
Most gate schedulers are designed to work with existing electric gate systems, including swing gates, sliding gates, and barrier arms. Universal timers like the DoorKing 1812 and Access Control Systems timers integrate with virtually any gate operator through standard relay connections. The key requirement is that your existing gate has a compatible control panel with timer input terminals. Most gates manufactured in the last 15 years have this capability built-in.
How long does professional gate timer installation take?
Professional gate timer installation typically takes 2-4 hours for most residential and commercial applications. Simple plug-in timers can be installed in 1-2 hours, while complex digital schedulers with multiple zones and smartphone integration may require 3-4 hours. Installation time depends on the existing control panel configuration, wiring modifications needed, and the complexity of programming multiple schedules and user preferences.
Do gate timers require special permits in San Diego?
Gate timer installations in San Diego typically do not require special permits when adding timer components to existing electric gate systems. However, if new electrical circuits need to be installed or if the timer installation involves significant modifications to the gate's electrical system, an electrical permit may be required. It's recommended to consult with San Diego County building department for specific requirements, as some commercial installations may have additional compliance needs.
