Become a Dealer — Tap2Open Access Control Installation
Tap2Open is actively seeking gate installation and repair companies to represent our products across the US. Our recurring revenue model means customers pay a monthly subscription fee, and you share in that revenue as a dealer. We don't perform our own installations; all installation work goes to local dealers. When an access control installation is needed in your area, we refer that business directly to you. The installer keeps 100% of the installation fee charged to the customer, and you set the price.
Why Tap2Open?
What makes Tap2Open better is that the guest can open the gate using their smartphone. Other systems make the guest interact with another piece of hardware (callbox, keypad, QR Code reader). If someone is using it, you need to wait your turn. And if there are multiple people, or slow people ahead of you, you’re going to wait a while! Its like waiting in line at the bank vs. using the ATM.
A Complete Access Control Solution — Fully Compatible, Ready to Install
In addition to our smartphone technology, Tap2Open now offers a complete suite to meet all access control needs of gated communities and buildings. Our keypads, keycards, FOBs, and vehicle scanners all work together as a single access control system, no patchwork integrations, no compatibility headaches. We also offer a guard solution that allows staff members to interact with guests, with invitations and logs all in one place.
Tap2Open works with token-based systems like barcode scanners, remotes, and RFID systems, essentially anything with an RS-232, RS-485, or Wiegand interface. Administrators can manage key functionality for all of these systems through our easy-to-use browser interface, so the community can administer all access, view all invitations, and pull usage logs in one place. It’s the right system for properties that need a single, reliable access control solution rather than multiple disconnected platforms.
The Installation Process Is Simple
Tap2Open is a modern access control system built for straightforward installation. The system requires just three connections:
- Power (12v–36v)
- A connection to the gate operator
- An internet connection (hard wired, WiFi, or Cellular Modem)
That’s it. No complex wiring runs, no specialty door hardware, and no difficult controller setup. Whether you’re working on a single building or a multi-gate community, the installation process is consistent and repeatable. Below are resources to support your installation work:

Frequently Asked Questions

You keep 100% of the installation fee and set your own price. You also earn a share of the recurring monthly subscription revenue from customers you bring on.
With Tap2Open, the guest actually can open the gate with just their smartphone. With other systems, the guest must interact with another piece of hardware-a callbox, a keypad, a QR code reader. The problem is that if there is a slow person ahead of you in line you have to wait. So these systems turn out to be slow, and lead to long lines! Since guests can open the gate with their phone using Tap2Open, there is no line!
The installation process is designed to be straightforward. The system needs three connections: power (12v–36v), a connection to the gate controller, and an internet connection. We provide an installation manual and controller data sheet to support your team, and additional resources are available in our product help section.
Tap2Open is built for gated communities, apartment complexes, parking lots, marinas, self-storage facilities, RV parks, and commercial property. It works with a wide range of existing hardware, making it a flexible access control solution for dealers who serve different property types.
Yes. Tap2Open works with token-based systems including barcode scanners, remotes, and RFID systems — anything with an RS-232, RS-485, or Wiegand interface. This makes it easier to install on properties that already have some infrastructure in place without requiring a full system replacement.
Traditional access control solutions typically require fobs, key cards, or call boxes that slow down entry. Tap2Open allows guests to access a gate using their smartphone — no app required — which keeps lines moving and prevents unauthorized access without adding friction for residents or visitors. It’s a modern approach to secure access that properties with high guest traffic especially benefit from.
Residents send a digital invitation to their guest. When the guest arrives, they use their smartphone to open the gate — no app download, no call box, no wait. Administrators can see all invitations and access logs through the browser interface, giving them full visibility over who is coming and going.
