QUESTION
HOA wont give out security gate code for me to give to ADT in case of home alarm response.

More details to this question:
The gate codes to get into the property have all been erased. All residents have remote controls for access. My security company needs a code to get in because getting them a remote control doesnt work for them. In case of a break in or heaven forbid a home invasion they will be stuck at the front gate trying to respond. I feel the HOA is infringing on my right to protect myself and property by not giving the gate security code to my security company. I have seen the paper delivery guy in here. I'm pretty sure he didn't buy a clicker to get in. I will find out when I see him next.

The rights of access to your community are likely governed in your CC&R's, which is the first place that you should look for your rights and remedies. Of course if you are approaching your Management Company telling them that you need a gate code for ADT, you may be approaching this matter in an incorrect manner. Tell them that you need a gate code for YOU, for the days that you forget your remote control. The reason that there are keypads are usually twofold: (1) to allow visitors to ring you for access and (2) as a backup mechanism for entry. It would be highly unusual that no gate codes are assigned and programmed for residents.
