A simple, powerful self-storage gate access control system

The Gatewise management portal puts every gate and access door at your facility in one place. Because the portal is cloud-based, your team manages access from any desktop, laptop, or tablet, on-site or anywhere else. No dedicated computer, no shared codes, no clicker drawer.

Real-time entry and visitor logs

Monitor every entry and exit event at your facility as it happens.

View detailed logs showing who accessed which gates and doors, and when
Filter activity by date range, access point, or tenant for fast answers
Spot unusual or unauthorized access attempts the moment they happen
Export logs for record-keeping, insurance, or compliance requests

Flexible scheduling, including 24-hour access

Set and adjust access schedules for your facility in minutes.

Define default operating hours that automatically control access
Offer 24-hour storage access to the tenants and user groups who need it
Create custom schedules for holidays, special events, or maintenance windows
Override schedules for one-off adjustments, synced across every access point

Customizable access point visibility

Choose which access points each user sees in the mobile app.

Create separate user groups for tenants, on-site managers, and maintenance personnel
Assign specific access points to each user group
Update group-based visibility as staffing or roles change
Give every tenant an app that shows only the access points relevant to them

Proximity-based access

Decide how access works at every gate and door at your facility.

Designate sensitive access points as short-range for added control
Require tenants to be within Bluetooth range (about 30 feet) to open short-range points
Prevent remote opening where physical presence matters
Allow remote opening for high-traffic or less sensitive access points
Visitors, prospects, and deliveries

Visitors, prospects, and deliveries

Walk-up prospects, contractors, and delivery drivers get a real answer at the gate, whether your facility is fully staffed, lean-staffed, or remotely managed. A visitor scans a QR code, connects with your team over two-way video from anywhere, and can be granted one-time entry on the spot. Scheduled visitors receive time-limited Visitor Keys that expire automatically. No call box hardware to maintain, and no shared code circulating long after it should have been retired.

“We had so many gate issues at our properties, we knew we had to try Gatewise. And now, after implementing it at 3 properties, we'll never go back to traditional systems.”

“I 100% recommend Gatewise. No more remembering codes for every gate! With one app I can access all my sites! Shelly has been so helpful as well! She is responsive & constantly follows up to ensure customers are satisfied!”

Property Supervisor, Q10 Property Advisors
“From a security/safety standpoint, we love it as operators because there’s no keypad with codes that have been in the system for 10 years that nobody has ever changed. It really gives us control of our gate system which we haven’t had in a long time.”

How does Gatewise self-storage access control work?

Tenants open gates and doors from the Gatewise mobile app, with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, PIN, and voice as additional methods. Your team manages every access point, schedule, and credential from a cloud-based portal, and every entry is logged in real time.

Can we offer 24-hour access to some tenants but not others?

Yes. Access schedules are set per user group, so you can offer 24-hour storage access to the tenants who need it while keeping standard hours for everyone else.

What happens to our existing keypads?

Gatewise replaces existing keypads so your facility runs on a single platform with one source of truth. Where a keypad is required by local code, insurance policy, or preference, Gatewise installs a keypad that supports keycodes, app-based access, and tap-to-open on one device.

How do visitors get in when no one is on site?

Guest Access. A visitor scans a QR code at the gate, connects with your team over two-way video, and can be granted one-time entry remotely. Scheduled visitors receive time-limited Visitor Keys that expire automatically.

How long does access control system installation take?

Hours for small setups and a couple of days for larger systems. Gatewise hardware runs on cellular connectivity, so no internet infrastructure is needed at each access point.

Can we manage multiple facilities from one portal?

Yes. One centralized portal covers every location with a consistent tenant app experience, portfolio-level reporting, and the same workflows at every site.

Transition to Gatewise with a quick quote and a streamlined, step-by-step migration. Installation completes in hours for small setups and a couple of days for larger systems, with cellular-first hardware that needs no internet runs to each gate. We handle the switch, including tenant communication, so your facility keeps operating throughout.
