Access Control
Safeguard Security has been contracted to provide access control and patrol services for the Association.
Residents of Ancala must register all vehicles with the main gate. SmartPass devices (or transponders) may be purchased through the guard on duty at the main gate. Resident access into Ancala is through the use of this SmartPass device attached to the windshield of the vehicle registered with the Ancala HOA. Each pass purchased must be assigned to a vehicle registered to an Ancala property and recorded in the QuickPass database for access to be granted.
If you are having issues with your SmartPass device, please see the guard on duty at the main gate. There is a “sweet spot” on some vehicles that will improve readability. Your car dealer will also know where the ideal spot is located on your vehicle.
Gate Locations/Staffing
There are three entrance/exit gates that can be used by residents, guests and vendors. The main gate is located at 118th Street and Via Linda, the west gate is at 113th Place and 114th Street (off of Frank Lloyd Wright and Cactus), and the east gate is at 124th Street and Columbine (near the Lost Dog Wash trailhead).
Only the main gate is staffed 24/7. The west gate is staffed 6 days per week from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The east gate is not staffed. All gates are equipped with card readers and residents may enter any of these gates.
*Please note that there are two access gates into the west entrance. The first access gate off of Taliesin Drive is owned and managed by the neighboring community of Ancala West Estates. Your SmartPass transponder will work at this gate, however after-hours access for visitors and vendors should be through the main gate.
Access for Guests/Vendors
Guests, visitors and service personnel must be authorized through your online QuickPass account or by a call from you to the guard at 480-451-4701 before they arrive. You can manage all of your visitors through the QuickPass website. You can log on to quickpass.us from your mobile device to add visitors to your QuickPass account or download the QuickPass app for your iPhone or Android.
You will need a login and password to access your account. If you forgot your login and password, you may contact QuickPass at support@quickpass.us, or contact the main gate at 480-451-4701. Once logged on, you can control the list of visitors and vendors and can even receive an email notification when someone on your list has entered the community.
