Communities

From garden style apartments to high-rise to self storage

Garden style

Spread-out buildings and multiple gates usually mean one shared keypad code half the neighborhood knows and a call box that fails in the weather. Guest Access retires both, so friends, deliveries, and tour prospects get their own expiring credential at the right gate and nobody is buzzing strangers in from the couch.

Mid-rise

A single secured entrance, a package room, and a few amenity doors all need to recognize the same guest. Guest Access carries one credential from the front door to the elevator to the rooftop lounge, so residents approve a visitor once instead of meeting them at every locked door.

High-rise

Hundreds of units mean a constant stream of guests, couriers, dog walkers, and cleaners moving through lobbies, elevators, and amenity floors. Guest Access keeps it orderly with credentials scoped to the right floors, a full audit trail, and one-click revocation when a vendor's job ends or a guest overstays.

Mixed-use

Residents, office tenants, retail customers, and delivery drivers share a building but should never share the same doors. Guest Access scopes each guest to the right zones and time windows, so a contractor reaches the loading dock and a resident's guest reaches the residential elevator, and neither ends up somewhere they shouldn't.

Student housing

The shared gate code is the oldest problem in student housing, passed from roommate to roommate until it is basically public. Guest Access gives every resident their own way to admit friends, parents, and deliveries on a credential that expires, so move-in weekend and Friday-night traffic stay manageable without a code that never changes.

Self-storage

Most facilities run with little or no staff on site, so access has to happen remotely. Guest Access lets a manager grant a prospect a tour window, a contractor a service window, or a tenant around-the-clock entry from anywhere, with every gate and unit-area entry logged automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Questions, answered

What is Gatewise Guest Access and how does it work?

Guest Access lets residents and onsite teams approve entry for everyone who visits: friends, deliveries, service pros, caregivers, and prospective residents. Guests scan a QR code at the gate or door and the resident approves or video-calls back from their phone.

How do residents share access with guests?

Residents send a Visitor Key from the app, set how long it's valid and which entry points it works at, and share it by text, email, or in-app message. It expires automatically when the window closes.

Does Guest Access work for deliveries and service providers?

Yes. Residents grant time-limited access for deliveries, and community teams set up scheduled, scoped access for pool service, landscaping, contractors, and other service pros.

Can community teams see who entered?

Yes. Every entry is logged with timestamp, access point, and credential, and filterable by community, date range, or guest.

What hardware is required?

None beyond what Gatewise already installs. QR codes work at existing entry points and the resident's phone handles the rest.
