The VillaRiva · Jacksonville, FLFrom an analog DoorKing system to ButterflyMX at every gate and door

The VillaRiva, a townhome and condominium community on Riverside Avenue, wanted a modern, easy-to-use entry system with an app. The board chose ButterflyMX, ButterflyMX referred the board to us, and we upgraded every entry, call box and vehicle gate in phases.

01 · The problem

The community ran on an analog DoorKing system with no app. Residents and the board wanted something more modern and easier to use.

02 · What we found

  • The old call boxes and keypads couldn't connect to an app or be managed online
  • Some wiring and the network needed repair before new equipment could go in
  • Residents needed working entries the whole time, so the cut-over had to be planned

03 · What we did

  • Replaced every call box with ButterflyMX: pedestals at the vehicle gates and video intercoms at each building entry
  • Upgraded access control at all entries, including interior doors
  • Ran new wiring where needed and repaired the network
  • Worked in phases, keeping the old system running until each area was switched over
  • Set up visitor PIN codes for guests and deliveries

04 · Result

Residents let guests in from their phones, deliveries get in with a PIN, lockout calls dropped, and the office manages access online. We continue to support the community.
