Key fobs and locks for pool

Dennis,
I highly recommend Key Fob access for any HOA that has areas that they need to control. If you google Key Fob access you should find companies that can help you.

My last 2 HOAs had Fob access for Pools and Buildings. We let our PMC maintain these systems in the past. My current board noticed that our last PMC decided to raise the rate for Key Fobs from $25.00 each to $35.00 each without changing the contract or notifying the board of the increase. This was our last straw we purchased our own system and are now in control of issuing Key Fobs. The system cost us much less than $5000.00 and it depends on how many doors you need to secure. Your cost will be more because if the initial setup cost. The Fobs can be purchased in bulk for less than $5.00 each and if you charge $25.00 it can cover most of your install and maintenance cost. I have used a few systems over the years and almost anyone could learn to manager within a very short period of time.

The pluses are you are in control of the system. You are able to remove card access when HOs move out. You can run reports on who has entered areas if anything bad happens. It has easy to access remote access from any phone on the market so if a vendor needs to get into a building you log in and open the door for them in less than a minute.

The minus is you have to pay the initial setup and find a vendor you trust to do the wiring.

This is the system we chose and it is part of the Atrium product line. Good Luck

We're a 200+ unit high rise and everything that Kelly says is true. We each have fobs to enter the gym, pool area, lounges (party rooms), conference room, lobbies from the street, etc. They also take us to elevator floors.
