Intercom Brands We Repair in Del Rey
Video Intercom Systems
- DoorBird – German-made IP video intercom. Smartphone app, HD camera, no monthly fees. Our most popular residential pick.
- ButterflyMX – Cloud-based video intercom for apartments and multi-tenant buildings. Visitors call directly to your phone.
- 2N – Enterprise-grade IP intercom from the Czech Republic. Touchscreen directory, RFID access, SIP integration.
- UniFi (Ubiquiti) – Self-hosted video intercom for tech-forward homes and offices. Runs on your local network with no cloud dependency.
Audio and Telephone Entry
- Aiphone – Hardwired audio and video intercoms. Reliable for decades. Common in Del Rey properties.
- DoorKing (DKS) – Telephone entry callboxes for gated communities, apartment buildings, and parking structures.
- LiftMaster – Gate intercom with MyQ app integration. Works with existing LiftMaster gate operators.
- Linear – Budget-friendly telephone entry for small commercial properties and HOAs.
- Panasonic – Wireless intercom systems for homes and small offices. Easy to add handsets.
Locking Hardware and Access Control
Your intercom needs to connect to something that physically opens the door or gate. We install and wire all the lock hardware that makes that happen:
- Electric strikes – The most common lock release for intercom systems. When you press “unlock” in the app, the strike releases and the door opens. We install them on pedestrian gates, lobbies, and side entries.
- Magnetic locks (mag locks) – Electromagnetic locks rated for 600 to 1,200 lbs of holding force. We wire them to your intercom with a request-to-exit sensor on the inside. Standard for commercial buildings and parking garages.
- Electrified panic bars – Exit devices from Von Duprin, Falcon, and Detex with electric latch retract. Fire code requires these on many commercial and multi-tenant exit doors. We wire them into the intercom circuit.
- Electric dead latches – More secure than a standard strike. The latch bolt retracts when the intercom sends the unlock signal. We use these on high-security gates and entries where a standard strike isn’t enough.
- Smart keypads and RFID readers – Give regular visitors a code or card to enter without calling the intercom. We install DoorKing, Linear, and HID readers and program them to work alongside your intercom.

Common Intercom Problems We Fix in Del Rey
Here are the issues we see most often on service calls in Del Rey:
Distorted or Garbled Audio
When speech sounds robotic or garbled, the speaker or microphone is usually deteriorating. On older analog systems, it can also be interference from nearby power lines. We test both sides of the conversation and swap out failed components.
Delayed Door Release
You press unlock, and the gate opens 5-10 seconds later instead of instantly. The relay timer might need adjustment, or the electric strike is dragging. We check the release circuit timing and adjust or replace the hardware.
Intercom Not Ringing at All
Visitors press the button and nothing happens. Could be a bad call button, broken wiring, or a failed control board. We start at the button and work our way back through the system to find the fault.
Tenant Directory Errors
Wrong names, missing units, or calls going to the wrong phone number. We correct the directory programming, verify each entry, and print an updated directory card for the outdoor panel.
Night Vision Not Working
The camera looks fine during the day but goes black at night. The infrared LEDs that light up the scene have burned out. We replace the LED module or the entire camera assembly depending on the intercom model.
Tip: If you hear a buzzing sound from your electric strike, it’s working but the door may be misaligned. Check that the door or gate closes flush with the strike plate. A small adjustment can fix the issue without any parts.
Del Rey Intercom FAQ
Why is my intercom making static noise?
Static usually means corroded wiring, a bad connection at a terminal, or moisture inside the outdoor station. We test each wire run with a meter and find the exact point of failure. Replacing a corroded connection or a worn speaker typically fixes it.
Can you fix my intercom if the brand went out of business?
Usually, yes. We carry replacement parts for most legacy systems. If parts aren’t available, we can retrofit a modern intercom onto your existing wiring so you don’t have to start from scratch.
How fast can you get here for a repair?
We offer same-day and next-day service in the LA area depending on our schedule. Call us in the morning and we can often be there that afternoon. Apartment buildings and commercial properties with access issues get priority.
My intercom works but won’t open the gate. What’s wrong?
The intercom itself is probably fine. The issue is usually the electric strike, the relay, or the wiring between the intercom and the lock. We test the full circuit from intercom to lock and pinpoint the break.
