# Best Practices

**ParqEx is, first and foremost, a security product.**

As such, certain considerations need to be made when designing user experiences and features of your integration.

#### Wait 20 Seconds Between "toggle" Requests

When building an interface to open and close a user's door, block user interaction for approx. 20 seconds to allow the operation of the access point (pedestrian door, gate/garage door) to complete.
