Sunset Acres Gate

 

Welcome to the Gate  Information Page for the Sunset Acres HOA Board. The Gate-Keeper oversees the the gate maintenance and access control to the neighborhood.

Gate Access

There are several ways to access our neighborhood through the front gate.

Electronic Opener – The first way is by using an electronic gate opener. This is similar to a garage door opener. They can be purchased on Amazon or at any hardware store. If you are purchasing one, it must be what is called a 10-dip switch opener. Once you purchase the opener, we will assist you in programming it correctly.

Four Digit Code – Each homeowner is issued a four digit code to manually access the gate. This is used when you do not have your electronic gate opener. If you need a code or wish to change your current code, please contact the Gate-Keeper. Remember, this is your code and is not to be given out. We can arrange temporary codes for contractors if you would like one.

Remote Phone Access – This is used for allowing entry of guests at the gate. We can program your name and phone number into the gate database. When your guest arrives at the gate, they scroll through the names on the directory. Once they find your name, they press the call button. The gate calls you and even allows you to talk to the person at the gate to confirm their identity. You then can decide whether you will allow them access. One note, our system currently only supports entering numbers with 253 area codes. We are working on addressing this and will update you if we are able to get this changed.

Contractor Codes – If you are having a contractor performing work for you on a regular basis, we can create a temporary code for them to use while working. These codes are usually good for up to a couple weeks and then are deactivated.
