My card works at some gates but not others. It used to work at Belvedere but no longer does. It has never, ever worked at St. James.


I've noted many times in the last 8 years that sticking my arm out into a torrential downpour, especially when wearing long sleeves, is very uncomfortable. If I wanted to get wet I'd go swimming.

The gates should open automatically. Not fooling anybody with the red button

And @ a manned gate, many times the attendant opens the gate for me , and as I'm entering the golf cart crossing lane a cart blows thru the STOP sign, still haven't got my quota-OH! golf cart season doesn't open till Nov 1

The card beats punching in a 6 digit code to open the gate.

Stickers on the car windows would be an improvement.
Since the roads are open to the public removing the gates would also be an option.

The developer isn't the one who would pay......

I frequent the Mallory and Odell south gates. Both gates will open when I place my gate pass to the closed window of my car. So far, anyway.

They should really open with just a credit card swipe.

That way they could Bill Gates.





sorry.

I'm willing bet that you could pair the garage door remove that came withe average MVP door opener with the remote that the attendant uses at Belvedere, Bailey Tr, Morse Gates, etc--,again, did it in NC @ a real gated community

As noted earlier, if there were no gates, golf carts would be in danger anytime they tried to cross. Autos would not even slow down. This is a golf cart community and the gates are designed to slow down autos and permit carts to cross. We all have to share the same roads.

Might depend on how close you are to the reader. Next time you drop you window and use your card note how far the card is from the reader then place your car window about the same distance from the reader and it should work. Took me awhile to figure that out but now have no issue as long as I get close to the reader.

Also, at the manned gates go through the visitor side and they will open it for you.

And then you wouldn't get wet when it's raining, common sense.

OK, I'll bite, bucko, exactly who would pay if not the developer.:ohdear:

We lived on Maui for 17 years in a gated community. A real gate with a call box. Transponders attached to your wind shield gave you entrance as you drove up. Here's the straight skinny: Police and Fire were given 24/7 access codes which morphed into contractors getting access codes, which morphed into a whole bunch of people getting access codes. In other words, unless you have armed guards at the gate, fugettaboutit.
