Know which gate access leads are worth a site survey
Ask every property owner about gate type, control method, and approval authority up front, then collect photos of the gate and access point before your team schedules a site survey.
The exact intake your gate access control leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Gate Access Control — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified gate access control lead should tell you
Installation, repair, or upgrade of a gate entry system — swing, sliding, pedestrian, or barrier arm — that controls vehicle or foot traffic onto a property, qualified by the type of gate, how it will be controlled, and who is authorized to approve the work.

The questions your team needs answered
Every gate access control intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What best describes your gate access need? | New installations, repairs, and upgrades all carry meaningful weight, so this answer sets the baseline for how urgent and substantial the job is before any other detail is known. |
| What type of gate is involved? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| What property type is this gate for? | Property type separates single residential gate jobs from commercial, school, or multi-unit sites that typically involve larger scopes and different compliance needs. |
| How would you like the gate to be controlled? | Knowing every control method the owner wants (keypad, fob, app, intercom) prevents underscoping the hardware and wiring needed before a technician is dispatched. |
| Do you have authority to approve this work at the property? | This is the single highest-weighted question — without approval authority confirmed, sending a crew to survey the site is the exact wasted trip this intake exists to prevent. |
| About how many users or vehicles will need access through this gate? | Estimated user or vehicle count signals whether this is a small residential gate or a higher-capacity commercial system requiring different hardware and access credentials. |

Built for gate access control workflows
| Cliont capability | Gate Access Control application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Scores the job-type answer (new install, repair, upgrade) alongside the approval-authority answer so unauthorized or low-intent gate enquiries surface below confirmed, actionable requests. |
| Conditional multi-select branching | Lets a property owner select several gate control methods (keypad, fob, app, intercom) in one pass instead of forcing a single choice that undersells the scope of work. |
| CRM routing | Sends qualified gate leads to your CRM already tagged with property type and gate type, so commercial and multi-unit jobs can be sorted from single-gate residential requests without re-entry. |
| Photo capture on submission | Collects images of the existing gate, posts, and nearby power source with the lead so your team can gauge site conditions before committing to a survey visit. |
Common gate access control lead scenarios
New commercial gate installation
An owner requests a new vehicle sliding gate for a business site with 21-50 users and confirms they can approve the work — the intake flags this as a high-value install worth a survey.
Repair with unclear approval
A tenant or property manager reports a broken swing gate but answers no or unsure to the approval question, so the lead routes for a confirmation call before a survey is scheduled.
Feature upgrade on existing system
A multi-unit property wants to add smartphone app control alongside an existing keypad, which the intake captures through the multi-select control-method question.
Unsure what they need
A residential owner picks 'not sure' for both the job type and control method, so the intake still records gate type and property details for a qualifying follow-up rather than an immediate survey.

Gate Access Control lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake avoid sending a crew to survey a gate the owner can't actually authorize?
The approval-authority question is weighted heavily in scoring, so a 'no' answer lowers the lead's priority and can trigger a follow-up step to confirm decision-making authority before a survey is booked.
Can the form separate residential jobs from commercial or facility work?
Yes, the property-type question tags every lead as residential, business, school, facility, or multi-unit, so your team can filter or route commercial gate jobs differently from single-home requests.
What happens when someone selects multiple control methods, like keypad and app?
The control-method question is a multi-select, so a request for keypad, fob, and app access all get logged on one lead instead of forcing the owner to pick just one method.
Does the intake help us scope hardware before the survey?
Gate type and estimated user or vehicle count are both captured up front, giving your team a sense of whether this is a single residential swing gate or a 50-plus vehicle commercial sliding gate before anyone drives out.
How is a vague 'not sure' request handled differently from a clear repair request?
'Not sure' still scores as a mid-value lead worth a call, while 'repair an existing system' and 'new installation' carry higher weight, so your team can prioritize which enquiries to survey first.
Does this intake apply to card access or keypad-only projects too?
This flow is specific to gate hardware; standalone card access or keypad systems without a gate are covered by the Card Access System and Keypad Access System intakes instead.
