The IntelliDoor system is a set of doors and other equipment primarily aimed at prefab builders. It uses notecard-based configuration and mesh construction where possible. While the consumer editions are no transfer, the Builder Kit includes all IntelliDoor products with transfer permissions, limited using Gentek's TOTS licensing system.

IntelliDoor Garage
Garage doors in Second Life used to either be one of two types:
- Physical: the door would set itself physical and move upwards through anything in its way. This required extra space above the door.
- Compression: the door would resize and move itself so it appears to be moving up. This didn't require extra space, but compressed the texture vertically and didn't look realistic.
The IntelliDoor Garage, originally just the IntelliDoor, is a unique garage door released in early 2009 that uses an advanced scripting method that solves both problems - it doesn't require extra space and it doesn't compress the texture.
Its design has not changed much from the original design, except for a texture refresh. It is just a simple box prim. However, its scripts were reduced dramatically - the original had 5 separate scripts to coordinate movement. With the advent of newer LSL functions, they could be consolidated into one.
Fun fact: the original IntelliDoor was created on New Years Eve in 2008, as Nelson had hoped to release it for the New Years Sale starting the next day. Unfortunately, it was stalled due to general laziness, and wasn't released until several months later.
Version 2 brought integration with the rest of the IntelliDoor series, which had just been released.
IntelliDoor GSS
The Global Security Server (GSS) is a tool used to coordinate security settings among many IntelliDoor products. While group control is easiest for limited access, in some cases it is not possible (autoreturn where the land group is not the group you want to allow, for instance). In this case, if you have many IntelliDoors, the GSS provides a single point where you can list people who should have access.
IntelliDoor Bollard
The IntelliDoor Bollard, originally the RamBlocker, is an electromechanical retractable bollard used for vehicle access control, similar to a gate but allows pedestrians through.
IntelliDoor Home & Commercial
As the first-ever mesh rotating doors, the IntelliDoor Home and IntelliDoor Commercial allow for incredible detail in only a single prim each. Previously, the only options for one-prim doors were the Tredpro Sculpted Doors or the A.E. Worx doors. Tredpro's doors were prone to resetting improperly and did not have any access control or customization. The A.E. Worx doors were not scripted at all.
The IntelliDoor Home & Commercial both use notecard configuration and Gentek's theme codes to allow for vast customization. They differ in that they use different models and some separate customization options, but are scripted mostly the same.
IntelliDoor Keypad
Other than the security options in the door, the IntelliDoor has the Keypad to allow for access by anyone with a custom-set password. It can be from 1-5 characters, and the Keypad has various customization options beyond just the password. It is also mesh, sporting high detail for only a prim.
