Telephone Entry Systems
Telephone Entry Systems for Gates & Doors | Linear Access Solutions
On the hunt for a strong, easy-to-manage telephone entry system for your gate, building, or another entry point? Let us lead you in the right direction since there are so many brands out there like DoorKing, LiftMaster, and Linear. However, not all systems are made of equal quality and meet modern access needs.
Our team takes pride in Linear telephone entry systems, such as the AE-100 and the advanced Entry Pro EP-736 and EP-436. These options are perfect for apartment complexes, gated communities, office parks, and other high-traffic entry points that require a reliable and simple solution.

How Does Linear Compare to DoorKing or LiftMaster?
DoorKing and LiftMaster are very common in the current market, but Linear’s Entry Pro series provides a phenomenal balance of performance, modern interface, and value. Unfortunately some systems still depend on older PC-based software, but Entry Pro is completely browser-managed and customizable up to 64,000 users (EP-736 model).
In addition, Linear's ecosystem aids in integration with access keypads, gate openers, and card readers, allowing you to have a flexible option without being committed to a single vendor's infrastructure.
Is Linear better than DoorKing or LiftMaster?
Linear Entry Pro provides major advantages to DoorKing and LiftMaster when it comes to a modern, web-based system with high user capacity and scalability.
Can these systems be used at apartment buildings or commercial sites?
Yes. The Entry Pro options are perfect for both residential and commercial multi-tenant access. There is additional support for multiple doors or gates and large user databases as well.
Do I need software to program these systems?
No. The Entry Pro line, specifically the EP-736 and EP-436, are managed right through a web browser and it requires no additional software.
