A key switch is an important control device for gate openers, often used in commercial and residential areas. By pressing the button with a special key, the gate opener can be activated or deactivated. This not only increases security but also provides control over access to a property. The use of key switches is particularly useful in sensitive areas, as only authorized persons with the key are granted access.

Advantages of using key switches

Using key switches offers numerous advantages. First of all, they provide increased security. Because only authorized users have the key, access to restricted areas is effectively controlled. Furthermore, key switches are generally very robust and weather-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor use. They are a good choice for those who want a reliable access guard to their property.
