AfterHow Much Does Gate Access Control Cost in Hollywood?
Gate access control in Hollywood, FL typically runs $650 to $1,850 for a single-property system, which usually covers a keypad, a controller, and wiring to an existing operator. Multi-entry HOAs and small commercial properties with phone or app-based entry generally land between $2,400 and $6,500. If your gate operator itself is failing, expect to add $180 to $650 for a repair, because access control can’t do its job if the motor won’t reliably open and close the gate.
Those numbers reflect what we actually see quoting and installing across Hollywood in 2026, from single-family homes near Hollywood Lakes to the gated communities off Sheridan Street and Taft Street. Below you’ll find a full line-item breakdown, the local factors that push pricing up or down, and how to save without cutting corners on the security of your property.
Hacienda Gate Repair is a dedicated gate specialist, not a general fence or garage-door company that dabbles in gates. When your call connects, you’re talking to a technician whose only trade is gates and the systems that control them. If you want a firm number for your specific gate, call (855) 362-1433 and we’ll give you a free estimate.
Gate Access Control Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s what each component of a gate access control system costs in the Hollywood market this year. Ranges reflect standard residential and light-commercial installations; concrete pours, long wire runs, and commercial-grade traffic will push toward the high end or beyond.
| Component | Typical Range (Hollywood, FL) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standalone keypad (wired, with controller) | $350 – $750 | Residential driveway gates; single code entry |
| Full access control system (keypad + controller + board + wiring) | $650 – $1,850 | One entry point, existing operator |
| Telephone entry / intercom system | $900 – $2,400 | Residential and boutique HOA entries |
| Phone-app / smart access entry | $1,200 – $3,200 | Remote open, guest credentials, activity logs |
| Commercial multi-entry (per entry point) | $2,400 – $6,500 | HOAs, small commercial drives, parking gates |
| Access control integration with an existing operator | $250 – $900 | Wiring and programming; assumes operator is healthy |
| Operator repair (if the motor or board is failing) | $180 – $650 | Needed before access control works |
| Loop / vehicle detector (buried) | $450 – $1,400 | Free-exit or safety detection; includes saw-cut and trenching |
| New operator install (residential swing or slide) | $1,200 – $3,800 | Depends on gate size, weight, and gate type |
What drives the price up: commercial-grade access panels (DoorKing entry systems, for instance, cost more than a residential keypad board), multiple entry points, long runs of conduit from a gate on the far side of the property back to the house, and any gate that needs structural repair before automation goes in. What brings it down: an existing operator that’s healthy, a short wiring run, and a single entry point on a standard residential gate.
One thing we always tell Hollywood customers: if a system reads $300 online, it usually doesn’t cover the wiring, the controller, or the labor to integrate it with your specific operator. Access control is not a plug-and-play box. It’s a small network that has to talk to your gate motor, and the price reflects whether that conversation actually works.
What Affects Gate Access Control Pricing in Hollywood
Pricing in Hollywood isn’t the same as pricing in a market with different construction patterns and code requirements. Several local factors move the number more than most homeowners expect.
- Gate operator brand and compatibility. Whether your operator is a LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, or Mighty Mule matters. We work on all nine, and brand-agnostic diagnostics means we identify the right fix rather than pushing a preferred product sale. Some operators have native access-control inputs; others need a relay or adapter. That compatibility step is a real part of the cost.
- Salt air and storm-season wear. Hollywood sits close enough to the coast that salt air accelerates corrosion on keypads, mounting hardware, and exposed wiring. We routinely replace keypads here that are only a few years old because the housing cracked or the buttons seized. Choosing a stainless or corrosion-resistant enclosure adds cost upfront but saves replacement cycles.
- Hurricane-rated wiring and mounting. Broward County properties need hardware that survives wind events. Conduit runs, mounting plates, and enclosures that hold up to storm conditions cost more than the cheapest option, and skipping them is a false economy.
- Number of entry points. A single driveway gate is one price. A property with a main entry, a rear service gate, and a pedestrian gate is three separate integrations, and each one carries its own controller, wiring, and programming.
- HOA and commercial traffic volume. High-cycle commercial operators wear differently, and access control systems in HOA settings need more robust components. DoorKing systems, common in South Florida HOAs, are built for this but cost more than residential boards.
- Whether the gate structure itself is sound. A gate that sags, binds, or won’t latch makes access control unreliable regardless of how good the electronics are. We service both the gate structure and the automation system, so you get one call instead of coordinating between a fencing company and an electrician.
If your property is in an older Hollywood neighborhood where trees have grown over the gate or the concrete around the posts has shifted, expect the structural check to matter as much as the electronics. Access control can’t fix a gate that drags on the driveway.
How to Save on Gate Access Control
There are real ways to keep the number down without ending up with a system that fails in six months. These are the ones that actually work.
- Fix the operator first, if it’s failing. If your gate won’t open, won’t close, or won’t stop, the operator is the problem, not the keypad. Repairing the operator ($180 to $650) before adding access control saves you from paying for integration with a system that has to be replaced anyway.
- Combine access control with a service call you’re already scheduling. If we’re already on site for an electric gate repair, adding access control wiring and programming to that visit is cheaper than a separate trip.
- Choose one entry point if your property allows it. A single keypad entry on a standard residential gate is the most cost-effective setup. Adding a second entry point can double the access-control line item.
- Match the system to the traffic. A residential keypad for a home with two cars doesn’t need commercial-grade hardware. Don’t overbuild, and don’t underbuild a high-cycle HOA entry with a residential board.
- Ask about corrosion-resistant enclosures in coastal areas. Spending a little more on a stainless enclosure now prevents a replacement in three or four years. It’s a savings, not an upgrade.

What Our Customers Say
"Gate works properly now and the price was fair. The one thing is that it took two visits, because the operator model we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They didn't charge for the second trip."
— Ruben Guzman"Repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given, and the office didn't call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he got here."
— Eduardo Delgado"Photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that the sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
— Alicia Jackson
