I agree with the sentiments expressed about gated communities and them not being foolproof, but do any of you live in a community where there is a card system managed by a third party, where each homeowner gets a certain number of cards that can used to gain access anytime, vs a general contractor who is doing remodeling or a real estate agent’s card would only work for a limited number of months and only during certain days/times of day?

Presently, each homeowner has the name code and they give it out cavalierly to general contractors who give it out to all the subs, tradespeople even for one day jobs etc. I think a system with no code and only cards, and where a plumber for example, is forced to dial the homeowner at the gate to be buzzed in is best.
