What great service! We highly recommend Controlled Entrances.
Very happy with repair. Front gate.
Met with Jake and made a list of issues needing help. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. Much appreciated! Linda
We are very impressed with Jake Mathwig and Controlled Entrances. Jake troubleshot a gate opener issue, and he programmed our car gate opener. He was very professional, genuine, and super informative.
I was having an issue with one of my security gates today. Jake showed up on a Sunday, resolved the issue with a new remote key and then took the time to program my vehicle for the gate as well. Highly professional and excellant response. I highly recommend this company.
I have been using Controlled Entrances at one of the communities I manage and I am very happy with services. Jake is amazing to work with and always goes above and beyond to provide excellent service. We have 3 gates at our community and he always handles every issue promptly and effectively which makes the life of a manager a lot easier. Good vendors are hard to come by and great gate vendors are practically impossible to find. Jake and his team with Controlled Entrances are truly a diamond in the rough. I cannot recommend them enough and anytime I know someone in need of a gate vendor, they are the only one I confidently recommend.
Awesome company to work with
We are very satisfied with the installation of our new gate. The installation was scheduled and completed promptly and effectively.
