Enter PIN, open gate – ideal for families, delivery drivers or holiday rentals.

Rolling code/encryption for radio communication, weatherproof housing for outdoor use. Neatly mounted, this is a robust everyday solution.
Selection & Quick Access
- System check: High-Line, Select-Line, Industrial – a photo of the control unit/nameplate will help.

FAQ
Which code keypad is compatible with my drive?
Connects wirelessly (868 MHz) to the system or via cable to the controller. A photo of the nameplate will help with selection.
How secure is a wireless keypad?
Very secure – rolling code/encryption and limited failed attempts. When properly installed, it is suitable for everyday use and robust.
Can I create multiple user codes?
Yes. Many devices allow multiple codes, even temporarily – perfect for family, guests, and employees.
What is the difference between this and a key switch?
The key switch is mechanical/wired and does not require a PIN. Ideal if you deliberately want to avoid wireless functionality.
What if the radio range is poor?
Move the receiver closer to the button, reposition the antenna, or use an external receiver – we recommend the best option for you.
Can I integrate keypads into a smart home?
Sure – via radio receivers/relays and suitable bridge modules. App control and automation are possible.
Do I also need a light barrier?
Recommended. It protects people/vehicles in the locking area – better safe than sorry.
Who can help me with matching?
We. Send us measurements & photos – we'll put the set together, you only order once.
Keyless entry – install today, live more relaxed tomorrow
Keypad, receiver, sensors – as a package, the gate simply does what it's supposed to. We recommend the combination that suits you best.
