Ask how they open the gate
Some gates are designed to be opened with a phone call, while others require a pass or exemption. If you do not know if a gate is designed to be opened with a pass or exemption or a pass, ask!
If you are unable to contact the gatekeeper about opening the gate, try calling ahead to see if someone is on site to help. You can also try going to the gate and asking for help, but make sure the person is actually able to respond.
If you can get help from another source such as your neighborhood police department, community organization, or utility company, great! Both of these sources could potentially apply pressure on the gatekeeper to allow entry, so go with your gut feeling!
Whether you can ask for help or not, figure out how to open the gate with what information. Make sure it is legal for you to call into question whether or not you have enough information to open the gate.
Tell them your code
If you have to call the gate agent to open the gate, make your call as soon as possible after arriving at the airport. They will need your phone number to finally respond to you.
If you can meet them at the gate, that will save you some time as well. And of course, if you are in a hurry, you can tell them your code!
If you are unable to meet the gate agent at the airport, look for one of their phones or ask a surroundings person if they know anything about it.
Remember, if you tell them your code is wrong, they will not let you in because there was an error with that code.
They will tell you if the code works
Some gates are hard to open with the phone call method. If you have a similar gate, you can call the gate company to learn if it works or not.
Some gates do not require a phone call at all. If your gate does not require a phone call, then we can tell you where to find it!
The gate company will send you an instruction book with pictures and details on how to use your new gate. All of the operators will be knowledgeable about this code so there is no confusion.
Test the new code with the gate company
If you do not have the phone number of the gate company, you can call them at (844) GLASS UP! and ask for test access. They will give you the codes to test the gate with your phone call.
If this is not possible, then you can try entering the new code into their app on your phone to see if it works. You will need to have your phone nearby while doing this so they can verify your account is connected.
Once you have opened the gate, go out and enjoy the beautiful scenery! It takes about 30 minutes to set up and process a request, so if you want to get started right away, do it.
Update your information with the gate company
If the gate company doesn’t have your phone number, they must update it with them. This ensures that if something happens to the gate phone, they can call you to open the gate.
Either way, make sure to include your phone number and location. If you are leaving the area, include your closest airport so that a gate agent can find you.
This helps them add you to their list of clients, so that they can call when someone opens the gate and then arrives at their destination safely. It is also useful when calling in case of an emergency.
Having your information up-to-date also helps prevent any kind of scam or fraud. When someone calls to open the gate, they must receive an answer before sending out an opened letter or phone call.
Have backup codes ready
If the main code is unable to open the gate, there may be a backup code you can use. A backup code is a second code that can be used in case the first one fails.
Mostly, gates are operated by entering the first code and then hearing the sounding of the gate closing or opening. This sounds like a chirp or pop and you know it has happened.
If you have two codes, one for emergency openings and another for normal openings, having one of them ready can be helpful. It can be used if the first one does not work or if your door opens different ways than a cylinder shape goes into.
Having two codes available will also help if one breaks down or someone cuts off its connection to the system.
Keep your phone near the gate control
If you have to call someone while the gate is open, you should keep your phone close to the gate control. The gate agent can then dial someone and open the gate for them.
If you must go inside the gates, you can give the agent your phone and he or she will call the park staff to open the gates for you.
This way, you do not have to keep your phone on while in the gates area. You can also leave your phone behind while leaving so that staff can return it if needed.
Keeping a phone close to the gate control and giving your phone to park staff is important when there are crowds visiting because if they cannot get in with a quick call, they can leave right away!
There are apps that allow users to send messages via their phones with very little effort. This would be helpful if one had to manually enter information into the app so that people could respond.
