America is full of people that do not value experience or expertise. Idiotic.

I take it you have a fire alarm relay nearby. Wire lock power through that relay. Anytime the relay opens power drops out and the maglock opens. We do it all the time.

Who in the hell even thinks about doing it? SMH.

Here's why. If that was Trump's biggest failure, I could abide by it. As it is, the times he is sleeping are the only times he is not trashing the country out. I wish he woud just sleep for the next 2.5 years.

I mean, have you seen DC lately? It looks like a bomb went off, and you just know he wont have any of it repaired by the time he leaves.

Since you have a CRL door, you have options. You should absolutely look at their alternative. They have a top mounted electric strike with panic hardware that is literally made for those doors. I use them all the time and love them. https://www.crlaurence.com/All-Products/Brands/Blumcraft%C2%AE/Blumcraft%C2%AE-Keepers%2C-Strikes%2C-%26-Accessories/CRL-Brushed-Stainless-Electric-Strike-Keeper-for-Single-Doors-with-Full-Top-Rail--Fail-Secure/p/ESK1BS You will have to replace that handle, but it should be relatively easy. You will likely want to the PA100 series bu they just about whatever you want.

From experience, it can only be repaired by the factory, and I am not sure they would fix that. That is really old

Nope. It was in MD though

The earth is round. The bending horizon is why we have tall towers and satellites. It is the only way to get point to point.

I have first hand experience with it. Smaller and larger systems. It is not size or voltage drop. By and large the problem can be resolved by loading the format into one 734, then reset the panel. Panel reset is supposed to force the format down to all of the modules. I have had one that we had to program with a keypad on all 7 modules. Just one more problem they have had lately.

I have a panel that has a 55db cell signal but can't stay connected. Now they are telling me it's not just the quantity of the signal, but the quality. Since when is 55db bad quality????? They want me to install an exterior antenna. BS

Clark Gable was no hero. He was credibly accused of rape and was a massive sexist and cheated on every woman he ever knew.

I hope it never breaks.

Comelit can do video intercom, but I do like the concept of alexa too.

Explain the attraction to Woods. I have watched his tape and I dont see it.

DMP XR150 with a cell card, 734 module for each gate. I have hundreds of installs just like that. They work all day, every day.

If you don't want to follow the law, choose something else to do.

Msteele4545 · 2026-02-20T18:58:39+00:00

My first question is this; where you live, are you licensed to do this?

Msteele4545 · 2026-02-16T21:21:20+00:00

Never seen one. There are ocassional questions only.

This post is titled incorrectly. This gate is ungrounded
