Community Gates vs. Your Driveway Gate: Who Handles What
In Southern Highlands, the Olympia Companies development runs guard-gated villages where the HOA or property manager maintains the community entrance gates, while each homeowner owns their private driveway gate. Knowing the split saves a wasted call: if the village entry keypad is down, call the HOA; if your own gate will not close or the opener hums without moving, that is a residential repair. Our commercial and HOA gate repair covers community entrances with UL325-compliant work, and our residential automatic gate repair covers everything behind your driveway.
Commercial service calls start from $195, while residential automated-gate service calls start from $125.
Access Control: Keypads, Intercoms, and Telephone Entry
Newer Southern Highlands builds usually pair the gate operator with access control: keypads for guests, telephone entry at the village gate, and intercoms at the driveway. When a keypad stops responding or the intercom goes silent, the fix is usually wiring, a failing control board ($400 to $800 to replace), or a power issue ($150 to $350). Our access control systems service covers keypads, intercoms, telephone entry, and smartphone-based entry upgrades.
If the whole operator is aging out, gate opener repair compares repair versus replacement costs so you can decide with real numbers.
Desert Heat Maintenance for Newer Gate Systems
Even newer gates in Southern Highlands face the same desert climate: 100-degree-plus summers that overheat motors during repeated use, monsoon dust that clogs slide-gate tracks, and sun glare that knocks photo-eye sensors out of alignment. A gate that moves slowly or stops halfway often comes down to low battery voltage, debris in the track, or worn gears. We recommend servicing every 6 months for sensor checks and track cleaning.
Our gate troubleshooting guide walks through the quick DIY checks to try before you call, from sensor cleaning to limit-switch resets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the HOA fix the community gate, or do I pay?
The HOA or property manager handles the community entrance gates in Southern Highlands' guard-gated villages. You own and pay for your private driveway gate. If the village entry keypad is down, call the HOA; if your own gate will not open or close, that is a residential repair. Community-entrance service calls start from $195.
My gate keypad or intercom isn't working, who do I call?
Call a gate specialist, not a general electrician. Most keypad and intercom failures come down to wiring, a failing control board ($400 to $800 to replace), or a power issue ($150 to $350). A gate specialist covers keypads, intercoms, telephone entry, and smartphone entry upgrades for Southern Highlands homes and HOAs.
Do I need a permit to install a driveway gate in Southern Highlands?
Permit rules depend on the jurisdiction. Southern Highlands sits in unincorporated Clark County rather than the City of Henderson, so check with the Clark County building department before installing a driveway gate, especially for the electrical work on the operator. We can flag typical permit triggers during a site visit.
How much does a new automatic driveway gate cost installed?
A new automatic driveway gate installed typically costs $2,500 to $5,000, averaging $3,160 nationally. Price drivers include gate type (swing or slide), material (iron costs more than steel or aluminum), opener brand, access-control add-ons like keypads and cameras, and any concrete or track work. Ask us for the full breakdown during a site visit.
